   Hi, I've just installed wordpress on my server (se17.eu) and am trying to enable the XML-RPC publishing protocols. i'm getting 403 forbidden. Enabling Atom Publishing Protocol works fine, and I can add plugins fine.

   i did a google search and ended up at http://wordpress.org/support/topic/xmlrpcphp-403-forbidden-error?replies=3, adding
   

   <Files xmlrpc.php>
   SecFilterInheritance Off
   </Files>

   to my .htaccess file, but that didn't fix it.

   can anyone help, please?

   I think this is what you are looking for.

   From the site admin page, expand "Settings", then select "Writing" (both should be on the right column), then under "Remote Publishing" check the XML-RPC box. Make sure you hit "Save Changes". This will now to allow you to publish that way.

   Thanks Stupidav. I wasn't clear in my original message - sorry about that.

   What you described is actually the source of my problem - when I go to settings > writing > remote publishing then click "save changes" my server returns the 403 Forbidden page

   Trying again this morning (having made no changes that I'm aware of to the server), clicking settings > writing > remote publishing then click "save changes" my server now returns the 404 not found page :-/
