# "remote http" error for drafts, no multiple content blocks for published posts

 * Here is the exact error:
 * > Your server doesn’t allow remote HTTP requests using [wp_remote_get](http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_API/wp_remote_get).
   > You will have to [visit this page](https://wordpress.org/?p=1135) manually 
   > to update which blocks are used on each page.
 * The “visit this page” link leads to a 404 before saving or publishing. When saved
   as a draft, the link goes to a preview of the post. When published, the error
   and the “Multiple content blocks” collapsable box surrounding it do not appear.
   So, there is no way for me to use this plugin on my posts/pages.

 * Sorry, I’m not here to help, as I have the same issue. Well, this plugin works
   just fine on pages, but even though I haven’t added code on index.php, it’s popping
   up on my posts (and sadly, when I try to add a new slideshow on Portfolio Slideshow
   Pro!)

 * This error is caused when your server doesn’t support HTTP requests. MCB relies
   on HTTP requests to find out which content blocks should be used.
 * Your errors seem a little strange though. I will see if I can recreate them, 
   I’ll get back to you.

 * In case HTTP Requests don’t work, automatic initialization of blocks is not possible.
 * I’ve just added an admin page where you can disable HTTP requests. You can refresh
   the blocks manually by visiting the page.
