So the Wordpress xml-rpc is disabled by default for security reasons in the app installed via marketplace; that’s great. But I need it to post via the Wordpress app. Does anybody have a clue as to how to do this?
(I can’t find anything describing how it is blocked. I’m guessing .htaccess, but even if I try to - shortly - commenting out everything in there I still can’t call xml-rpc.php.)

Hey friend,
To disable the xml-rpc.php block on our Wordpress one-click image, try these commands over SSH/console:

systemctl reload apache2
