RSS Ground uses XML-RPC functionality to make posts to your WordPress blogs. But sometimes XML-RPC is blocked either by your security plugins or by your hosting provider.
We have developed our own WordPress plugin that will help RSS Ground to connect to your blog avoiding default XML-RPC. This plugin is absolutely secure and reliable. It will require minimal modification of your current posting campaign(s).
Plugin installation
Step 1. You need to go to your WordPress blog dashboard. Click Plugins > Add New.
Enter "rssground" into the search field. Then press "Install Now".
Step 2. As soon as the plugin is installed you can find it in the "Plugins" - "Installed Plugins" section. It is called RSS Ground. Click Activate to start it.
How to add plugin manually.
Step 1. Download the plugin and save it to your computer.
Step 2. Log in to your WordPress blog and click on Plugins > Add new in the left-side navigation bar.
Then press Upload Plugin and choose a downloaded zip file from your computer.
Step 3. As soon as the plugin is installed you can find it in the Plugins - Installed Plugins section. It is called RSS Ground. Click Activate to start it.
