It could be that your hosting service is blocking those URLs for security reasons. Depending on the use cases, you might be able to rename the PHP file to something like XxnYtGkwuThOpws.php and use it as expected...


Updated WordPress is not working default xml-rpc but you can on/off manual follow my procedure:

1st install this plugin: WP Htaccess Editor

Then paste this code correctly without any spaces:

<Files "xmlrpc.php">
Order Allow,Deny
allow from all
</Files>

See the screenshot below SCREENSHOT


What are you trying to do?

XML-RPC is enabled by default.

XML-RPC functionality is turned on by default since WordPress 3.5.

In previous versions of WordPress, XML-RPC was user enabled. To enable, go to Settings > Writing > Remote Publishing and check the checkbox.

Try going to http://example.com/wordpress/xmlrpc.php, your should see a message saying "XML-RPC server accepts POST requests only."
