   I'm trying to post on my blog via the Wordpress app that I downloaded today but it just comes up 'Failed' nothing else.
   I've deleted embedded links, all links actually and I've deleted bold words the lot but still just Failed...
   Is there something very obvious that I am missing, if now how on earth do I get this sorted??

   Cheers all

   Could you provide a list of the steps you are taking? The more detail you can include the better.

   I got onto the app, click the blog (I only have 1) then click new post, write a post, click 'post' and the screen then the listing in shown as posting then says failed within 2-3 second.

   You might try deactivating any plugins you might have installed and then try to post from the app again. If you're able to post successfully then the problem will be due to an incompatible plugin. You can then reactivate your plugins one at a time until you find the culprit.

   Funny thing is that I encountered the same issue this morning. I found that merely doing the "pull down to refresh page" in the app sorted it out. Seems the app gives a false positive on the "failed" but does actually publish the post. Still doesn't explain why it does it on one of my blogs, but not the others.

   Some more on this via my blog.

   Interesting. Glad you're able to work around the issue.

   Hi~

   I'm having a similar issue. I can't post images from my iPhone App. I tried deactivating all of the plug in's I have installed, but that didn't work. I can post a text blog, but no images. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the app on my phone. It still "fails" to publish any blog with an image on it. What do I do. I mainly blog from my phone and images are essential.

   I am taking the same steps as the above person. I open the app, tap on my blog, tap the icon to write a new post, write it, add a photo, go to publish it and it saw Failed.

   Please advise.

   HI ~~
   actually I think it is the problem of the service of Wordpress.Recently i also could not post my blogs once in a while.But after a moment I can still post my blog ... Maybe we should wait a moment or a few days...from my Mac

   Thanks for letting me know! I'll wait a bit and try it again. I can upload from my Mac but not my iPhone.
