  I want to create a blog that is password protected but that can be updated from an iPad. I installed a bunch of plugins that have helped me with this but for some reason once installed (and the blog is password protected) the update feature on wordpress for iPad (the app) no longer works. Any ideas?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  There is no FTP access to free hosted WordPress.com blogs and we cannot install plugins into them. They are for WordPress.org installs only and this support forum is only for WordPress.com bloggers. For the iphone wordpress app, you need to inquire over at http://iphone.forums.wordpress.org/
  For ipad post here > http://ios.forums.wordpress.org/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting

  The WordPress for iPad app uses the XML-RPC api for authentication. To test if your plugins are messing with your API endpoint log out and go to:

  http://example.com/xmlrpc.php?rsd

  If you can’t access the endpoint when logged out then the iPad app cannot be used with your site until the plugin that is restricting access is fixed.
