Question
How to use the 1-click Wordpress install with the iOS App?
Hi all,
I wanted a self-hosted Wordpress install, and being a fan of the overall simplicity of DigitalOcean, it being my VPS of choice for a long time, I went for the “1-click Wordpress install”.
I should say, it worked like a charm, and I was up and running very quickly. Kudos!
However, I would also like to have it work with the Wordpress app on my phone. And when I try to add the site, I get an error of the form:
Couldn't connect. Required XML-RPC methods are missing on the server."
I’ve spent some time on this before asking here, having encountered numerous “solutions” on StackOverflow etc that do not work.
So I have to ask a more fundamental question first: is it expected that the app can support the 1-click install? If not, it’s definitely a deal-breaker for me, I don’t want to use the desktop-browser version all the time for creating a new post.
I definitely would like to have DigitalOcean be my one-stop shop for this instead of turning to e.g. Linode, so I hope this confusion gets cleared up.
Much thanks in advance,
Agam
P.S. some things I tried:
a2disconf block-xmlrpc
and restarting Apache- Installing
php-xml
- Installing
php-xmlrpc

Since I can’t edit my question, a couple of points to note:
Another thing I tried was diagnosing by accessing
/xmlrpc.php
I haven’t made any changes to firewall, modules or htaccess post-install, this is as “plain and untouched” a state as possible
