    Hello! When trying to connect jetpack again site_inaccessible [HTTP 404] comes out.
    I edit .htaccess and add the following code

    <FilesMatch "xmlrpc\.php$">
Allow from 192.0.82.250
Allow from 192.0.83.250
Allow from All
</FilesMatch>
 <Files xmlrpc.php>
  SecFilterInheritance Off
 </Files>​​​

    but didnt work.
    I disabled ModSecurity from the Cpanel
    Also when hitting http://elthraki.gr/xmlrpc.php
    404 page appears but the file exists.
    Any suggestion ?
    My website is elthraki.gr

    If the 404 page appears when visiting that file, then that file is not publicly accessible – which it needs to be in order to use Jetpack. Unfortunately, blocking or limiting access to XML-RPC is not a great solution for fighting security risks. It’s akin to selling your car because you don’t want it to be stolen.

    Your site’s XML-RPC file is kind of like a communication gateway to your site. Jetpack, the WordPress Mobile Apps, and other plugins and services will use this file to communicate to your site. If this is blocked, you will have other issues pop-up down the road for the same reasons.

    I would suggest you unblock your site’s XML-RPC file so you’re able to use Jetpack and instead, I’d recommend allowing access to everyone, but blocking pingback requests with a plugin like this one:
    https://wordpress.org/plugins/disable-xml-rpc-pingback/

    Hope that helps.
