I have turned on xml-rpc in the write section of wordpress.

In the cpanel of hostgator xmlrpc.php exists, but when I type in www.mydomain.com/xmlrpc.php it won't show up.

Any thoughts? Thank you....

  • What did you expect it to do? XML-RPC allows others to phish your content. See XML-RPC Support « WordPress Codex for more.

    • i was going to setup automatic sharing of my blogs through xmlrpc. That's what its there for right? I read the Wordpress codex, set it up correctly but not functioning.

  • Are you getting a blank screen or a message like "XML-RPC server accepts POST requests only."?
  • I think you are looking for example.com/?feed=rss2 to share your blogs.

    • file not found even though it exists in the cpanel:

      http://businessappraisalflorida.com/xmlrpc.php

      Why this method? A blog sharing service uses xml-rpc that is why I am going this route.

      Is there some php setting on hostgator blocking this from coming up?

      Thanks for your help...

  • i use hostgator,
    and no setup need to use xmlrpc ..

    if you open www.your-site.com/xmlrpc.php
    in my site it show =>

    XML-RPC server accepts POST requests only.

    try to re-set permalink in WP setting and check that file xmlrpc.php are in root directory
  • ^^^^ Odds are that Earnie has identified your problem - an .htaccess file that is disallowing access.

    Are you running any 'security' plugins?

    • Yep, it was a security plug. Thank you...

      and I do have an email into Hostgator about the redirect...
