XML-RPC wp.newPost doesnt use the blog id parameter

[arthurjarmstrong]

When calling a new query with the wp.newPost via the XML-RPC and passing a blog ID parameter it will insert the post but on the main site, not on the blog in which the blog ID was passed. After looking at the code in the "wp-includes>class-wp-xmlrpc-server.php" under the function wp_newPost( $args ) it calls the _insert_post( $user, $content_struct ) function which does not take in the blog ID or switch the blog to the one that is passed.

Well this isn't a bug. All the XML-RPC methods don't use the blog id yet. The way of doing it now is to use the XML-RPC url of the blog.

Alright, so when using a sub-directory such as "test" you would create a client based on the new URL like:

new IXR_Client('​http://website.com/test/xmlrpc.php')

where ​http://website.com is the main location of the WPMU installation and "test" is the sub-directory installation?

Yes that should work like that

At this point I doubt we will ever use the blog ID parameter, as switch_to_blog() can't do things like switch plugins or the initial load.
