Have you checked in with your web host's support service or forums? I use Dreamhost, and every once in awhile something happens that seems to be unique to their hosting service. I can't remember any exact example, but I think I recall something with pretty permalinks and the way my server handled mod_rewrite (it was on but not working as expected). I ended up making a custom mod to my .htaccess file to fix it. Another time I found the solution to a host/plugin incompatibility in the forums.
Once I had to edit my xmlrpc file to get my site to accept crossposts from Flickr & Blip - they stopped working for *no apparant reason* - I had not done an upgrade or anything. Here's my reference post about that, in case it leads you to something useful: http://www.hummingcrow.com/2007/06/19/fixed/ Cheryl --- In videoblogging@yahoogroups.com, "David Meade" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I have a gut feeling that the problem relates to using "pretty > permalinks".
