XMLRPC not working with plugins

[Lokarabia]

Test-Case:
Trying to post via a program and the xmlrpc interface results in no output.

Reason:
Seems one of the plugins installed crashes the way xmlrpc.php works. Because you can track to settings.php and there until:

if ( get_option('active_plugins') ) {
$current_plugins = get_option('active_plugins');
if ( is_array($current_plugins) ) {
	foreach ($current_plugins as $plugin) {
		if ('' != $plugin && file_exists(ABSPATH . PLUGINDIR . '/' . $plugin))
					include_once(ABSPATH . PLUGINDIR . '/' . $plugin);
		}
	}
}

FIX:
Put into xmlrpc.php before include('./wp-config.php');: $no_plugins = 1;
Replace the function from settings.php with:

if(!$no_plugins){
  if ( get_option('active_plugins') ) {
	$current_plugins = get_option('active_plugins');
	if ( is_array($current_plugins) ) {
		foreach ($current_plugins as $plugin) {
			if ('' != $plugin && file_exists(ABSPATH . PLUGINDIR . '/' . $plugin))
				include_once(ABSPATH . PLUGINDIR . '/' . $plugin);
		}
	}
  }
}

Guess that should do the trick, because xmlrpc doesn't need any plugins and so it could be prevented that other plugins causing this issue, too.

Then the plugin at fault needs to be fixed.

Plugins can be used to provide extra XML-RPC methods and/or modify the way the API's work, If a plugin is interfering with the standard API, Then the plugin needs to be modified to suit.

Disable them one-by-one until you locate the problem plugin and notify the plugin author, See what they've got to say.

Glad to see DD32 already chimed in here. Certainly XMLRPC can benefit from plugins!

Lokarabia, hope you can track down the offending plugin and get the author to fix it up. In general plugins work great with XMLRPC.

Absolutely agree with DD32. I'm closing this as invalid.
