    Hello:

    I have installed wordpress into many sites, however I am using right now mod_security to lead some cms and bug problems.

    mod_security includes some rules to manage some xml_rpc bugs ( not associated to wordpress ) but this rule affect the wordpress users rpc interoperability usage because when some users try to use this feature mod_security abort with 406 error.

    Maybe I could solve this by disabling mod_security for the domain containing the wordpress using .htaccess directives; but in some servers clients are unable to do this.

    So, can be xml_rpc files renamed or something to keep using this feature, does any one know how to solve this ?

    Regards, Javier

    You will probably get an answer from the hackers list where more people are more familiar with all the code:

    There might be an answer along here, but I'd cover both bases :)
