Yeah, this is a compatibility issue with the new 3.4 release. I’m afraid you’ll either have to go back to 3.3, or don’t use the theme preview thingy at the moment… Just wondering if you’re using Multisite? Anyways, this should get smoothed out quickly.

I will try and get that going ASAP, but my conditions aren’t ideal – I have direct access to my server only twice a week, and the rest of the time I have to try and get around the proxies at College that block :22 and :21, which are both kinda important. Thanks anyway for helping. If I find an issue, or something else like that, where will be the most convenient place for me to tell you??

Thanks, Simon. I will try and push the update through soon ish, and that is a big help. I completely understand your issue with XML-RPC – I wouldn’t enjoy doing that either. I did get around the issues by putting the blocking right in the theme, which of course allowed RSS and XML-RPC though, but this should be done with a plugin.
Thanks again for your swift responses and help. Angus.

Yeah – It would be nice to have check-boxes allowing users to enable and disable blocking of XML-RPC, and Atom. Also, it would be nice if we could allow the RSS feeds through as well. One thing I have used the plugin for is hiding pre-production sites from the public, but of course you can’t post from the mobile app if the plugin is enabled.
Also, some people I have spoken to wanted to use it so that their WP install would act a bit like an API, with no front end, but a back end CMS and RSS to get content out. Of course, they can’t do that at the moment.
Thanks for your time.
