By default you will most likely be unable to post to your WordPress blog due to security restrictions on your server.
Your options are:
- Generate WP App password
- Install basic auth plugin
- Rename xmlrpc file
SCM uses either the WP-JSON or the XMLRPC to upload posts to your blogs.
The XMLRPC is older and by default disabled on most servers.
The WP-JSON is newer but requires you login to your blog and create an Application Password.
We can find solutions to most errors by using WP-JSON first by generating and application password.
If that fails, we can try to install the basic auth plugin.
If that fails, as a last resort we can rename the xmlrpc.php file and use the newly renamed file to post articles.

Most servers block the WP xml-rpc file by default for security reasons.
You can rename your xml rpc file to get around this.
ie:
