 * Hi,
 * I read that XML-RPC must be enabled. But it’s old and might bring security issues.
   I have read this article from Kinsta: [https://kinsta.com/blog/xmlrpc-php/](https://kinsta.com/blog/xmlrpc-php/)
 * What are the reasons API REST is not used with your plugin? Much more reliable
   as of today.
 * Thank you

 * Hi [@thibotus01](https://wordpress.org/support/users/thibotus01/)
 * Some hosts and plugins believe that blocking access to /xmlrpc.php will stop 
   various hacking attempts. However, XML-RPC support has been built into WordPress
   core since version 3.5 and is a stable tool.
 * Jetpack, much like other plugins, services, and apps (like our mobile apps), 
   relies on the XML-RPC API to communicate with WordPress.com.
 * If this is blocked, your Jetpack connection will not work correctly.
 * Let me know if you have any questions.
 * My best regards,
 * Michelle
