   I have the WordPress app for iPhone since the original and have used it to update the site http://fivexfive.co.uk quite a few times with no problems.
   Version 1.1 was fine. I have upgraded to Version 1.21 and cannot now update, or sync my posts. In fact I cant do anything except write a post and save it to a local draft.
   I have checked and validated my Markup with validator at W3, there was some errors but they have since been fixed and still cant get the app to work.
   I do have password protected posts but I had those before and have updated successfully with them there using Version 1.
   Any ideas?

   I have the same problem with communication error nsxmlparsererrordomain error 5.

   Here's what happens to me. I can post a text only post with no problems. However when I add a photo I get this exact same communications error. I also get another error "communications error Bad login/pass combination"

   My Wordpress Install is 2.7.1 and I'm using the latest update of the iPhone App.

   I've also tried installing the plug in that fixes the LibXML http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/libxml2-fix/

   If anyone has ideas I would truly appreciate it.

   I did have 3 password protected posts. I deleted them since they were old but still cannot connect.

   I am having the same problem.

   My blog is http://www.shakespeare-w.com/blog

   At first, I was able to post one post. Then, I wanted to add a photo from the iPhone library and I get errors saying:

   Communication Error
   Bad login/pass combination

   Communication Error
   Operation could not be completed.
   (NSXMLParserErrorDomain error 5)

   Then, application always finishes itself, whenever I am trying to add a photo after showing these alerts.

   If anyone could help me, I would truly appreciate it.

   Thank you very much in advance.

   Additional information.

   If I try to update without photos, it is fine. But if I try to update with photos, it wil crash and I had to restart the application. Then, it says there is a recoved post which has a poto. Then, when I try to save it, l give me above errors.

   I am using WordPress for iPhone version 1.21 and WordPress 2.7.1. So, basically exactly same as the problems gerik is having.

   I think I found the fix for my problem I had as stated in my previous post. After some searching on problems with WordPress and external editors I found that adding some code to my .htaccess file could solve my problems. So following the instructions I found I added this line of code to my .htaccess file:

   <IfModule mod_security.c>
   SecFilterEngine Off
   SecFilterScanPOST Off
   </IfModule>

   Things seem to be working fine now. I posted three tests with photos and no problems! So it doesn't seem to be an issue with the app but with my hosting service. Hope this might help anyone who is having the same difficulties.

   I have never been able to get WordPress for iPhone to work. I always get the "NSXMLParserErrorDomain error 5" when trying to login. I have done extensive Google searches and the only solution appears to be the one above. My problem, there is no .htaccess file in install directory. Now what?

   Hi gerik,
   Thank you very much for your post.

   I have added the following lines to my .htaccess file in the blog folder.

   <IfModule mod_security.c>
   SecFilterEngine Off
   SecFilterScanPOST Off
   </IfModule>

   What does the above lines do?

   Anyway, I added them but I still get the following alerts and unfortunately, it seems that they are not working for me.

   Communication Error
   Bad login/pass combination

   Communication Error
   Operation could not be completed.
   (NSXMLParserErrorDomain error 5)

    Hi,
    I solved my problem.

    It was caused by Plugin called Resize At Upload. After I deactivate Resize At Upload plugin, I can upload photos without any problems. Hope this may help someone who also have the same problem.

    Thank you very much.

    @ mk1623 --

    Thanks for the heads-up on the Resize at Upload plugin. I've updated the Known Issues post and will attempt to contact the author of the plugin.
