How the XMLRPC Solution Works

How the XMLRPC Solution Works

Three Simple Steps to Reliable WordPress Publishing

The Technical Workflow Explained:

  1. XML Payload Preparation: A code node properly formats and escapes special characters in your content, ensuring consistent publishing regardless of content format

  2. HTTP Request Delivery: The HTTP Request node sends the prepared payload directly to WordPress's XMLRPC endpoint using the POST method

  3. Response Handling: The XML response is converted to JSON, enabling conditional logic based on success/failure, with the ability to implement retry mechanisms or notifications

This approach provides direct access to WordPress's core API, making it significantly more reliable than specialized nodes that can break when WordPress is updated.
