WORDPRESS: Is xmlrpc.php blocked?

WORDPRESS Viewed: 2552

As a security measure our servers default setup will automatically block calls to the WORDPRESS xmlrpc.php file, in addition to some security plugins. The reason for this is many WORDPRESS hack attempts will try to use this page to find exploits in your website, or do DDOS attacks.

If a service provider you use needs this open, you can do this via your server WHM tools by navigating to ‘WHM > Apache Configuration > Include Editor > Pre VirtualHost Include > All Versions’ and add a second line as follows using your providers IP address:
allow from 1.2.3.4

If you don’t have your own dedicated server and need this done, please open a ticket.
