I tried to submit a post to my hosts ticket system. It appears they are blocking the word xmlrpc anywhere in the post data. I couldn’t even submit the trouble ticket without spelling xmlrpc like this x m l r p c.
The company I’m hosted with is http://www.page-zone.com. I’ve been with them for like 3 years, but if they don’t fix this I will be switching very soon.
I’m having the same issue with my site. I was trying to get it to work with flock and flock just hangs at “Just double checking that your account is set up correctly…”
I try to go to the xmlrpc.php file in my browser and I just get a 403 forbidden. I tried renaming it I get the same thing. I even deleted and downloaded wordpress again and extracted the file to my server. I get the same thing.
It may be that my host is blocking any file named xmlrpc.
I tried typing http://inyourgrill.org/xmplrpc and http://inyourgrill.org/xmlrpc23467.php. Even though the file didn’t exist I got a 403. I renamed the file test.php and went to it and got the expected “XML-RPC server accepts POST requests only.”
