Support » Fixing WordPress » Multiple xmlrpc.php problem

  • Hi

    Multiple xmlrpc.php processes are killing my load time. I installed Disable XML-RPC plugin but after 1 hour there no much difference.

    Disable XML-RPC processes take most of the CPU. I tried to kill them via WHM but i get “An error occurred processing your request”.

    I dont have experience with SSH and other methods. This started when a All In One Seo plugin update was revealed today.

    Did any one experienced this? Please help.

    are you on shared hosting or running on a VPS?

    On my VPS, I use this in my httpd conf file:

    <FilesMatch "^(xmlrpc\.php)">
    Order Deny,Allow
    Deny from all
    </FilesMatch>

    I put that right after this stanza:

    <Directory />
        AllowOverride none
        Require all denied
    </Directory>

    Anyone attempting to access xmlrpc.php gets a 403 error before WordPress sees it.

    if you’re using CentOS, it’s /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf. If you’re not using CentOS, it’s probably a file called apache.conf or apache2.conf.

    locate apache |grep conf

    <Files “xmlrpc.php”>
    Order Deny,Allow
    Deny from all
    </Files>
