I didn't require this because I made the necessary server level changes.

My host updated PHP to 5.2.9 and the LibXML to version 2.7.3 and that was the fix for me.

Don't think anyone has tested it with WP MU. Also, there have been mixed results with this patch as well.

If the next version of PHP supports this, then it will be a real relief to everyone!

Ajay,

Yes, I've manually updated the files and uploaded them as well, still no luck. My host was even gracious enough to recompile PHP 5.2.8 with LibXML 2.7.3 and that didn't do it. Supposedly this is fixed in PHP 5.2.9 with LibXML 2.7.3 so it sounds like I'll just have to wait until the next build of PHP is available for my host to recompile.

Hi,

Can you manually modify the files with the code above or directly from the link and give it a shot. I'm not in a position to verify currently, simply because all my blogs reside on the same server where I downgraded libxml

Ajay,

I've downloaded your zip file, uncompressed it, uploaded the files to my server in the appropriate folders and haven't had any luck with it. Have I missed something? I'm on a shared host so restarting PHP/Apache isn't an option.

As far as I am aware, this is independent of WordPress version you are running.

Hi. By this bug i decided downgrade my wordpress 2.7

What versiÃ³n i can be sure that no this problem?

By: Ajay

Ajay — Fri, 23 Jan 2009 07:41:15 +0000

Guess, this isn't really a working solution.

It is really hard to actually find a host who will downgrade software, especially since this does require a good deal of work on their part.

I guess it is wait until a truce is reached!

I tried this fix also. It actually did nothing on my site. I use Windows Live Writer with the Ink Blog plugin. What happens for me is I send the post to publish and I get a huge chunk of "stuff" that I assume would actually be my ink blog post if it worked. I tried the workaround last night and nothing actually happened. I then had a friend modify the files (I had no idea these files I downloaded were actually the ones from hoofoo) according to hoofoo and my site broke. Luckily it's back but I'm still not able to post ink blogs directly. I unzipped the files (when I tried this fix) and placed them in the appropriate directories via ftp . What a shame. My host doesn't want to downgrade the lib so I am hoping that at some point in the future a viable solution can be found. Thanks for putting the files together though!
