When I try to enable XML-RPC services site via (Admin-Writing) I get a 404 not found. However, httphttp://waterwaywatch.org/xmlrpc.php indicates that xmlrpc.php is present and responding.

This suggests to me that it may be a .HTACCESS problem which is beyond my ken - can anyone see a problem with the following extract from my .htaccess which mentions xmlrpc..php at the bottom ?

Thanks in advance for any input....

That's probably more of a wordpress.org question. Or Google it which is where I would start.

The issue presented itself last week and I have been on Wordpress developer forums and Googling ever since and found there are a lot of people with the problem but no solutions that work for my circumstances.

My web host (Dataflame) has been working on it with me and after making some progress declared defeat this morning - that is when I thought I would contact BFA on the offchance. In a turn around, I have just heard from my web host that they had sorted the problem (which, by the way, is posting to my blog from an Android phone) using Wordpress for Android - a preliminary looks positive.

Thanks for the input..
