Hi, I just activated this plugin because I seem to be getting a lot of login attempts and I read that xmlprc is one way to hack a site. But now on further reading I’ve discovered that JetPack uses xmlrpc to do what it does. I’ve been using JetPack ever since I started my site and would like to continue. Do I need to disable this plugin to keep JetPack working? Thanks for your help with this issue. Cathy If you are using Apache, then you can use this in the .htaccess file of the site. <FilesMatch "^(xmlrpc\.php)"> For the first line below <FilesMatch "^(xmlrpc\.php|wp-trackback\.php)"> Order Deny,Allow Deny from all Allow from *.wordpress.com Allow from 192.0.64.0/18 Allow from 185.64.140.0/22 Allow from 2a04:fa80::/29 Allow from 76.74.255.84 Allow from 76.74.255.85 Allow from 192.0.65.204 Allow from 192.0.65.205 Allow from 192.0.80.244 Allow from 192.0.80.246 Allow from 192.0.96.247 Allow from 192.0.96.248 Allow from 192.0.123.250 Satisfy All ErrorDocument 403 http://google.com/ </FilesMatch>
