I’ve tried a couple of things in Chrome settings but nothing has had any effect so far. * I have not knowingly installed any extensions in any of the browsers that I have on my tablet. * All give the same result (or lack thereof). * (I need this functionality on my tablet because I shall be travelling overseas wirh no laptop.) * Moderator [James Huff](https://wordpress.org/support/users/macmanx/) * (@macmanx) * [1 year, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cannot-edit-menus-from-android-tablet/#post-18141122) * Are you able to manage them in the app instead?

It must return the following message: * XML-RPC server accepts POST requests only. * You can see a working example here: * [https://wordpress.org/xmlrpc.php](https://wordpress.org/xmlrpc.php) * Since your site returns a 404 error for this page, I would recommend that you check the following: * 1) Can you see the /xmlrpc.php file at the root of your WordPress installation when accessing your site via FTP? If you don’t, then please try re-installing WordPress. You can do this by going to the Dashboard -> Upgrades page, then click the “Reinstall WordPress” button. * 2) Do you use any security plugins that may block access to this file? If so, could you try to disable them? You might also want to check your site’s .htaccess file for any rules that might be blocking access to the xmlrpc.php file. * 3) Does your hosting provider block access to this file? If you don’t find any plugin that may block access to the file on your site, I would recommend that you get in touch with your host. * Thread Starter [Stephen Davies](https://wordpress.org/support/users/scldad/) * (@scldad) * [1 year, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cannot-edit-menus-from-android-tablet/#post-18141160) * Thank you very much for your great help. * I shall follow your suggestions ASAP. * Cheers, * Stephen * Thread Starter [Stephen Davies](https://wordpress.org/support/users/scldad/) * (@scldad) * [1 year, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cannot-edit-menus-from-android-tablet/#post-18141246) * There was an .htaccess block on xmlrpc.php so I turned that off (via WP Solid Security) . * There is now an SSL error which I have referred to my host. * Thanks again, * Stephen * Moderator [James Huff](https://wordpress.org/support/users/macmanx/) * (@macmanx) * [1 year, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cannot-edit-menus-from-android-tablet/#post-18141857) * It looks like both your site and XML-RPC file are working properly now. * Were you able to try the app? * Thread Starter [Stephen Davies](https://wordpress.org/support/users/scldad/) * (@scldad) * [1 year, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cannot-edit-menus-from-android-tablet/#post-18142076) * There is still a problem at my host. * Login attempts from the app give: * Trust anchor for certification path not found. * I am talking to my host.
