I am using Drupal 6.15.

- I verified that the blogapi.module has the patch that addresses the Drupal 6 issues.
- I am unsure of the file system permissions necessary to support this module.
- WLW API module is 6.x-1.7
- Using WLW 14.0.8064.206

When trying to publish a blog posting with pictures I get:
The following pictures cannot be published because the blog does not support picture publishing.

I have exactly the same configuration like topic started has and also followed all the steps in the provided link:
http://www.tributemedia.com/education/tutorials/windows_live_writer_and_...

Problem is exactly the same. I cannot publish images via Writer without ftp.

"The following pictures cannot "be published because the blog does not support picture publishing"

Any ideas how to solve it?

Try changing the permissions of the files folder

chmod 775 files

or on windows, if testing with wamp or the like

make sure your Windows and Drupal username and password match and again, set permissions on the files folder either for you as a user or for all users.

worked for me.

dpgeek67 ,

Thank you for possible solution. I use Drupal under windows on 127.0.0.1 for now for site development. I decided to stick with FTPO to upload files. Works fine for me. I have not had chance to test your solution :(

I had this error with the blogapi module. I already had the files directory permissions set correctly, but I still needed to change the permissions for the blogapi module. There's a setting for "administer content with blog api" which needed to be checked for my user. Once I changed this settings, I was able to upload images.

Hope this helps others.

ive had the same issue, i tracked it via tcpdump to the admin user i was using not having any roles, and blogapi/wlw_blogapi depending on the user having some roles to be able to get quota limits on attachments.. so make sure your user has some roles that are configured for blogapi upload

I checked the box for blog APi but I still can,t get pictures to publish from Live Writer. Any help in straight forward English would help, the stupid thing is Live Writer to my Drupal web site uploading pictures was working perfectly then it just seemed to stop for no reason.
