Do you have current mod_security rules setup blocking xmlrpc, or are you using our default htaccess rule to block it?
Well, seems like I can't login into WP blog...getting this return: http://127.0.0.1/ Probably a plugin is blocking?
Hey Daniel,
Got that sorted out finally. It appears my .htaccess was at fault so I deleted it and created another one. I don't have mod_security rules setup blocking xmlrpc, never changed anyting there - in fact, I don't know how to modify mod_security rules so I can allow 2 designated IPs to post. My .htaccess is basic now so no blocking rule that I'm aware of...help!

John,
If it's default on our server there's an htaccess file located in /home , you have to use SSH as root to access it.
In that file it'll look something similar to this:
Add a line for each IP that needs to access it:
Of course the above are example IP addresses to be replaced with valid ones. If you have any trouble accessing the file just raise a ticket and reference this thread.
