Publishing problem - HTML brackets stripped from post? RRS feed

    This just started happening yesterday, I haven't changed anything on my blog and it was working fine with the same version/configuration of Live Writer two days ago.
    The problem is when I publish a post, it shows up with the HTML brackets stripped out.  For example if I write and publish this in Live Writer:

    This is a test.

    Paragraph two test test test.

    It will show up on my blog like this:

    pThis is a test./p pParagraph two test test test./p

    In Live Writer I've tried refreshing my blog theme and creating a completely new blog account for my blog, neither has worked.  It shows up correctly in the Preview tab in Live Writer, but when I publish something is going wrong.

    Welcome to the group. I have this problem since two weeks ago. I have tried almost everything. Look here: http://www.uprm.info/test . Any help would be appreciated. I want to be able to write my posts with WLW.

    My host is Fused Network, I guess I'll ask them if they changed something recently.

    Here's one suggestion I've found to fix this issue, I haven't tested it myself but I'm going to ask my host if they can give it a try.
    On my Fedora 9 I had to downgrade to libxml2-2.6.32-1.fc9 and xml-common-0.6.3-23.fc9.

    I initially started with a downgrade of PHP (I thought it may have been php's processing of xmlrpc.php) but still had the issue so I then downgraded libxml and xml-common and the problem was resolved.

    I then re installed the latest php from the update repo. I had to set up yum to exclude libxml* and xml-common* so the nightly yum update didn't put the libxml files back in place.

    Here:

    Also there's this bug report for libxml2 which might be the problem:
    http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=554124

    I should point out that my host downgraded and it didn't seem to fix the issue for me, so I don't know if any of this info is accurate.  And I was able to publish to a blog on a different host without this issue.

    My joomla and database is configured UTF-8 enconding.

    I'm also having this problem with my own hosted Wordpress install. It worked on the previous beta, but not the newest beta version.
    I can post fine in the dashboard of my blog however, just not using WLW.

    I am also facing this issue for both wordpress and b2e. Earlier versions of WLW worked very well with no issue. Any quick solution please?

    It's definitely a bug with PHP and one of the XML libraries. I think there are multiple bugs open on PHP around this.

    I had the same issue and it's now fixed. I am using WP 2.6.5 and the latest WLW
    My web host fixed this issue in about 15 mins...see below should this be of use to anyone. Most users will probably need to get their webhost to fix it. Here's info from my host.


    For reference, the fix for cPanel servers is to create a file called all_php5 under /var/cpanel/easy/apache/rawopts/ and add the following two lines then recompile Apache:

    -with-expat=builtin
    -with-libexpat-dir=/usr/lib

    For those who are not using cPanel but instead manually compile PHP, the fix is to add the following line after the other ./configuration options then build as usual:

    --with-expat=builtin --with-libexpat-dir=/usr/lib
