Hello,

recently we upgraded our site www.unitydeutschland.de to 3.3 and every page looks fine,forms and everything else is working.
But we can only see max 100 articles of our website in Live Writer 2012. I can then work on this article in Live Writer, upload the changes and see it reflected on the webpage.

But if I try to fetch more than 100 articles I get this error (sse attachment):

Invalid response document returned from XmlRpc server

So we cannot edit all of our articles in Live Writer any more. Seems to be sort of a timeout problem.

I installed xmlrpc version 2.0.7, but no improvement.

I wonder whether your plugin is already compatible with 3.3 or - as often stated in the docs - only with 3.1.

Thank you for your help!

Yours sincerely

Th. Kraft

Sorry, we have not solved the issue yet.

Here is the entry in the logfile of WLW:

Caused by "max_execution_time" of PHP?

I try test on joomla (it has 40,960 dummy contents and max_execution_time is 30 and Show:1000).

I found out that the plugin modules_anywhere was the cause of my problems. I regret to deactive it because it was useful for my site. But without it I can fetch all articles. Problem solved!
