Posting From Ulysses to WordPress – Connection Refused Fix

ā€”

I was trying to configure Ulysses to post stuff directly from it. I was looking at issues that I thought were stemming from the fact that I disabled xmlrpc.php. After I spent an hour trying different things, I thought that maybe the issue isnā€™t at all coming from how the site is configured.

I remembered that a lot of the things on the web get fixed by clearing the cache. So I did just that. I use a plugin called ā€œLiteSpeed Cacheā€ for caching the site. I purged everything from it and now I am able to connect Ulysses to my blog.

LiteSpeed Cache was caching the pluginsā€™ settings, including some stuff from Wordfence. After purging everything, Iā€™ve set up a new application password and connected Ulysses. Couldnā€™t find anything through Google about this issue being caused by caching. That’s why Iā€™m leaving this here, just in case someone else needs it.

The conclusion is: If youā€™re using Wordfence, LiteSpeed Cache and want to publish stuff through Ulysses, yet you get a ā€œconnection refusedā€ error even after youā€™ve allowed application password authentication in WordFence, try and purge the LiteSpeed cache.
