Bypass xmlrpc.php
-
I've got a self hosted wordpress account. Unfortunately my host blocks xmlrpc.php for security reasons, so the app is being blocked on my android phone.
I contacted the host about this (The ability to mobile blog being the reason that I installed Wordpress in the first place. I was just using MySQL and PhP before that). They said that if I really wanted xmlrpc access, then I would need to rename the xmlrpc file to something else (done) and then redirect the app and then reference this script in my posting service.
Is there a way to set up the app to do this through the standard GUI, or is it time for me to break out the notebook and learn some javascript :-) Not too late for a New Years Resolution, is it!?!
Cheers

You can try typing the full path to the renamed xmlrpc file in the URL field during setup.

I have the same problem, but fill in the full path of the renamed doesn´t work i get the same 403 error like on the original file.
If i test it with BlogDesk i get the 403 on the original and no error on the renamed file. In Blogdesk is a separate field for renamed xmlrpc files. -
