 * Hi,
 * You can enable disable XML RPC settings from wordpress admin area -. Settings–
   writing settings.
 * – Select checkbox for “XML-RPC” to enable it and save changes.
 * This settings can be modified by admin authentication users only. Once change
   the settings error should be resolved.
 * Also refer this:

 * Thanks Shane G , but your answer is not for my question , my XML-RPC is already
   enabled , and I have already used this code and got post’s data
 *     ```
       function xmlrpc () {
       include_once( '../wp-includes/class-IXR.php');
       define('BLOG_ID', 0);
       define('RPC_USERNAME', 'admin');
       define('RPC_PASSWORD', '******');
       $client = new IXR_Client('http://example.com/xmlrpc.php');
       $client->query('metaWeblog.getRecentPosts', BLOG_ID, RPC_USERNAME, RPC_PASSWORD);
       $data = $client->getResponse();
       ```
   
 * Now I want simple php code to add/edit and remove the custom fields of post

 * where I found code to add and edit posts by xml-rpc
 *     ```
       $post = array(
            "title"         => "Test Me Please",
            "description"   => "Hi there!",
            "custom_fields" => array(
                array( "key" => "state", "value" => "Utah" ),
                array( "key" => "country", "value" => "USA" )
            )
       );
       $rpc = new IXR_Client( 'http://localhost/wp/trunk/xmlrpc.php' );
       $status = $rpc->query(
            "metaWeblog.newPost",
            1,
            $username,
            $password,
            $post,
            false
       );
       ```
   
 * and
 *     ```
       $post_id = 4;
       $post = array(
            "title"         => "Test Me Please",
            "description"   => "Hi there!",
            "custom_fields" => array(
                array( "id" => 3, "key" => "state", "value" => "California" ),
            )
       );
       $rpc = new IXR_Client( $rpc_url );
       $status = $rpc->query(
            'metaWeblog.editPost',
            $post_id,
            $username,
            $password,
            $post,
            false
       );
       ```

 * Ok , I found the way , it is possible whit **metaWeblog.editPost **query , only
   need set array without id’s of custom fields.
 *     ```
       $cf_array = array( "key" => $_POST['key'], "value" => $_POST['value'] );
         $post = array(
                    "title"         => $_POST['title'],
                    "description"   => $_POST['description'],
       	     "mt_excerpt"    => $_POST['mt_excerpt'],
       	     "custom_fields" => $cf_array);
       ```
   
 * Thanks
