Thanks Yihue. Just want to add that to install RWordPress on a Mac it is necessary to add 'type = 'source'' to the install.package() call, i.e. install.packages('RWordPress', repos = '<http://www.omegahat.org/R>', type = 'source') as there is no Mac binary available.

Could you add encoding parameter on knit2wp?

I'm curious if the RWordPress package is compatible with R versions 2.14.2 or 2.15.1. I was unsuccessful at installing the package in either versions using the above code on Windows 7.

Yihui I wanted to give this a try and made a http://dl.dropbox.com/u/61803503/wordpress/gradient_wrod_cloud_revisited_Rmd.txt. I then follow your directions and the blog gets published but only with the title and no content. I checked to make sure input was actually there with file.exists(input) and R returns TRUE. I'm currently using a Windows 7 machine. I know this isn't your brand :) but I thought you may have some incite as to what's happening. If I run Knit HTML in RStudio the output looks fine.

Hi Yihui! Does this post use highlight.js for syntax highlighting? I'm looking for a good wordpress solution.

To try this package: I opened a new clean account in wordpress.com, used most basic R markdown package (default one in Rstudio, without even plots). The code above simply not working for me. Can anybody actually make this work?

I'm getting "Error in convertToR ..... " error.
Maybe it is just because of Windows as one of the commentators above mentioned.
Thanks for the effort though, I wished it had worked for me.

Hi Yihui! Great package. Thanks. I am trying to use knitr to publish from RStudio to WordPress.

When I use:

options(WordpressLogin = c(myusername = "mypassword"), WordpressURL = 'http://myusername.wordpress.com/xmlrpc.php')
knit2wp(myRmdfilepath, title = "A post from knitr", shortcode = TRUE, publish = FALSE)

I get an error: "Error: faultCode: 401 faultString: Sorry, you are not allowed to publish posts on this site."

But, if I use the RWordPress function:

newPost(content, publish = FALSE, blogid = 0, login = getOption("WordpressLogin", stop("need a login and password")), .server = 'http://myusername.wordpress.com/xmlrpc.php')

then the content (just some text) is published successfully.

Any idea why the knit2wp is being rejected by the WordPress server?

Thanks for any help.
Rob

Any idea why the installation doesn't work? Thank you for your time in advance!

RWordpress package complicates the problem due to so many wild errors. The only function we need is to publish the result from knitr to wordpress. We can use other offline blog editors to do this.
I tried using both knitr and windows live writer, and it was successful.
First, knitr produced HTML file from source code.
Second, I opened HTML file in the browser, copied all contents and pasted in Windows Live Writer.

Third, I clicked "publish" button in Windows Live Writer. Done!! Very simple, isn't it?
I will write a short tutorial in my blog later (though I think the steps are so simple that tutorial is not necessary)

Hi, Yihui. This is an excellent package. In this way I have successfully published a post to my blog. There is only one problem: the figure is broken.

The published html code of the figure begins with: 'img src="image/ ....',

but the html code in the htm file generated by knitr (Rstudio) begins with 'img src="data:image/ ....'..

'data' is missing in the published post.

Could you give me some ideas to solve this problem? Thank you!

Hi Yihui, thanks a lot for this post! I have a problem with your dropbox solution. I did your configuration:

opts_knit$set(base.url = "https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/42523656/wp/",
base.dir = "Users/Paterno/Dropbox/Public/wp")

But I get this error message:

Quitting from lines 34-36 (p1_reg_lin_sim.Rmd)

Any ideais about what I am doing wrong?

Thanks,
