Cannot enable XML-RPC; mentioned configuration options are not there

    Many on-line guides (like this one: https://apps.wordpress.com/support/#faq-ios-11) says to simply go to “Settings” > “Writing” and under “Remote Publishing” to check the “XML-RPC protocol” checkbox.

    The problem is that I don’t have it, neither the “Remote Publishing” section, nor the mentioned checkbox. My whole “Writing” group has only three options: “Formatting”, “Default Post Category” and “Default Post Format”.

    I managed to enable XML-RPC for my blog the other ways, but I still wonder, what am I missing? Why I don’t have appropriate option for enabling XML-RPC in my blogs’ dashboard (“Settings” section)?

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    XML-RPC functionality is turned on by default since WordPress 3.5.
    https://codex.wordpress.org/XML-RPC_Support
    some hosting with custom WordPress may use the enable in a different way with the menu or htaccess configurations etc.
    even reverse proxies or proxies may block requests to XML-RPC file.

    Does this mean that since WordPress 3.5 there is no checkbox mentioned in my question (and the linked guide is seriously out-dated)? And that this is OK that I don’t see corresponding option in Settings > Writing?

    This seems to be hard to believe. We have WordPress 5.3 and the option is gone since 3.5 and they haven’t updated the guide at apps.wordpress.com so far?
