 * Problem solved: it wasn’t caused by the WP app but by hosting company’s tighten
   security policies. They recently applied restrictions to accessing xmlrpc.php
   file from outside, to increase security on WP installations.
 * A check may be made as suggested here in Jetpack troubleshooting, point 3.2 (
   you need to logout from WP, before testing):

   Box 2.5

 * Yes, as I said they are spiders (bots), used to gather web content to be compressed,
   often reformatted for small screens and sent to their mobile browsers. Those 
   browzzers, Amazon Silk ([http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amazon_Silk](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amazon_Silk))
   and Opera Mini ([http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opera_Mini](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opera_Mini)),
   access the web through their proxy servers, to speed navigation with a more compressed
   content (respectively SPDY protocol and OBML, Opera Binary Markup Language). 
   Silk, for instance, can’t access the web directly but acts splitting content 
   between direct and compressed. Those bots must be recognized as legitimate and
   needed, not blocked. Blocking them means to shut out some hundreds of millions
   of mobile users.
 * Wikipedia bot is different: they periodically check and validate links from Wikipedia
   pages to external reference sites.
 * IMHO, you need to whitelist some of their IPs, probably classes of them (I can’t
   guess all IPs they use for bots)
 * I forgot to tell that these bots blocks only happened since few days, not more
   than one week.

 * I don’t know anything about ModSecurity, just that phpinfo says that “mod_security2”
   is between loaded modules. Of course I won’t enable Disable Dir Listing again
   😉
 * Today I checked plugin’s setting many times, because I had a lot of blocked “
   attacks” from legitimate spiders, as Opera Mini’s, Amazon Kindle’s (those mobile
   browsers access the web through their servers) and Twitter’s one, all classified“
   User Agent Blacklist – Python”. And one “attack” from Wikipedia’s spider (link
   checker, I guess), classified as “User Agent Blacklist – Curl”

 * Solved: renamed plugin’s .htaccess and restored original WP’s one. Tx anyway.

 * Sorry, whilst saving the code was removed (grin). I intended to say input `<br/
   >` in the HTML editor. Another way may be to modify P height attributes in the
   Custom CSS editor. I personally use: `p {line-height: 1.625; margin-bottom: 1em;}`

 * IMHO, it’s not the theme but a normal habit of WP. Pressing enter in the visual
   editor it enters an empty paragraph, so it’s a quite lot of vertical space. Try
   to input one/two “
   ” in the HTML editor, or install some plug-ins that hack the
   TinyMCE editor

 * Exactly the same that happens to me, it works on little blogs but hangs on bigger
   ones.
 * My db is about 42 Mb and other files some 400 Mb.
 * I can’t find in plugin’s code where to increase dedicated RAM.
 * Thank you
