    The mobile app says my wordpress site is not a wordpress site ??
    I saw another post on this kind of topic saying that is could be because xmlrpc.php is blocked?
    How do I find out if its blocked or not, and how do I unblock it.
    If I paste /xmlrpc.php behind my URL it says that the file is not found?

    I Use WP Cerber Security, Anti-spam & Malware Scan

    If I disable this plugin I can get there, but then the patterns are not supported?
    Which I was precisely trying to use this app for…..

    While your site is publicly accessible, the app cannot access your site’s XML-RPC file: https://hansbeenhakkers.nl/xmlrpc.php

    This file is used by the WordPress app, and other plugins and apps, to connect to your site. It must return the following message:

    XML-RPC server accepts POST requests only.

    You can see a working example here:

    https://www.ads-software.com/xmlrpc.php

    Since your site returns a 404 error for this page, I would recommend that you check the following:

    1) Can you see the /xmlrpc.php file at the root of your WordPress installation when accessing your site via FTP? If you don’t, then please try re-installing WordPress. You can do this by going to the Dashboard -> Upgrades page, then click the “Reinstall WordPress” button.

    2) Do you use any security plugins that may block access to this file? If so, could you try to disable them? You might also want to check your site’s .htaccess file for any rules that might be blocking access to the xmlrpc.php file.

    3) Does your hosting provider block access to this file? If you don’t find any plugin that may block access to the file on your site, I would recommend that you get in touch with your host.

    Hi @hansbeen,

    I noticed the XML-RPC file is still not accessible on your site. Have you had a chance to try the suggestions James shared earlier? If you need any help, feel free to reach out.

    Thank you!
