If you run your own self-hosted WordPress and would like to, you know, blog now on it, you too may have gotten the maddening error “Unable to read the WordPress site on that URL”

This, though their help page does not tell you, is a filthy lie. Do the following whilst cursing their late-stage-capitalist bastard hearts:

Append “/xmlrpc.php” to the URL. That’s all that it takes.

So example.com becomes example.com/xmlrpc.php

Of course, this is only broken on self-hosted sites. Bastards, like I said.
