    I am trying to verify my wordpress blog website on Gravatar but I am not able to. My username and password is correct.

    Hi there!

    Can you please explain what exactly are you trying to achieve? Do you want to use your Gravatar on a site hosted elsewhere (not on a WordPress.com one)?

    I was setting up my gravatar profile and under the verified services section, I tried to verify my wordpress site. But when I entered my username, password and site address, I get this error.

    Failed to locate XML-RPC API

    Something went wrong when trying to locate the XML-RPC API on your blog. Please log into your WordPress admin panel, then go to Settings > Writing > Remote Publishing and check the box next to ‘Enable the WordPress, Movable Type, MetaWeblog and Blogger XML-RPC publishing protocols.’

    What is the URL of the site you’re trying to verify?

    XML-RPC is enabled by default on all WordPress.com sites, but the account you’re using to post here doesn’t own any sites hosted with us on WordPress.com.

    If you have a WordPress site at another host, you’ll need to contact your hosting provider to ensure that XML-RPC is enabled on your server.
