   I downloaded the new app, and I get a 403 error trying to connect to eric-b.net

   I know the password is correct.

   Looks like nobody on here or any of the support sites seems to address hosted blogs all too well, so here is the solution that I found on my host's forums. The issue was mod security.

   Added

   <IfModule mod_security.c>
   SecFilterScanPOST off
   </IfModule>

   to .htaccess

   I hope this helps someone.

   HELP! I don’t claim to be technically savvy but kind negotiate my way around the internet and some moderate levels of wordpress/web design. I am having a problem with the new WordPress 2 app for my iPhone 3G(s). Nothing original from what I have been seeing but it seems the solutions that are working for others are not working for me.

   My domain name and site is hosted through ICD Soft. I have uploaded and installed Wordpress 2.9. My site is up and functions well: http://www.a-gamer.com

   However I cannot get the wordpress app on my iphone to connect with my blog. I get the XML-RPC and 403 errors. I have enabled Atom Publishing Protocol and XML-RPC in the remote publishing section of the writing settings, but still no success.

   Anything else I can be doing?
