Trying to add website ihowto. tips (self-hosted) in the application of WordPress for iOS, I hit an error that many have happened. Apparently you would say you don't know anymore Dashboard password At the blog, but it is not. The problem comes to the impossibility of applying data with the blog. Specifically, the web server on which the WordPress blog / website is hosted, must allow an XML protocol for remote data transfer / query (RPC).
Sorry, we can’t log you in.
Unable to read the WordPress site at that URL.
SOLUTION: How-To Fix WordPress iOS App: Sorry, we can’t log you in. Unable to read the WordPress site at that URL.
Most likely also in other situations this error arises from the lack of XML module. This module is imperative for the proper functioning of a website running on the WordPress platform. Without XML, the remote query of the website through an application is impossible.
Here's how it looks in error.log Every attempt to authenticate me in the WordPress application for iOS:
2016/11/08 07:59:17 [error] 13701#0: *1666433 FastCGI sent in stderr: “PHP message: PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined function xml_parser_create() in /srv/www/website/public/wp-includes/class-IXR.php on line 264” while reading response header from upstream, client: 78.96.104.15, server: ihowto.tips, request: “POST /xmlrpc.php HTTP/1.1”, upstream: “fastcgi://127.0.0.1:9001”, host: “ihowto.tips”
To solve this problem, we will have to install the XML module on the web server. Of course, full access to the server we want to do is need.
Once authenticated on the host server, we execute the order line: PHP-m. In the list of modules we check if it appears somewhere XML, XmlReader and xmlwriter. In the scenario in which this module does not exist, we go to its installation, executing the coomude: yum install php-xml (for the Cenos).
Activating the XML module of the PHP will be done after restarting the server web services. PHP-fpm and nginx In our case.
Now we can restore the website URL in the WordPress application for iOS (iPad & iPhone).
In the absence of the XML module, no other application can be connected to your website. Windows Live Writer (Windows PC app), WordPress for Android, Blogo, MarsEdit, myWPEdit for macos.
