\n1. Using either FTP or CPanel, navigate to your WordPress root directory.
\n2. You should find the file \u201cxmlrpc.php\u201d there. Make a back up copy of it, just in case. Download it and then.
\n3. Open xmlrpc.php in an editor
\n4. Go to the end of the file.
\n5. Put your cursor after the final ?>
\n6. Delete anything there, including spaces, or blank lines.
\n7. Save the edited xmlrpc.php back to your WordPress root directory. [I also changed the permissions on this file to allow the Owner to \u2018Execute\u2019 too!]<\/p>\n![\"image\"](\"https:\/\/mikemartinezonline.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/image_thumb.png\" "\\"image\\"")

\nThis file has to be placed into the root directory OR \/wp-admin\/ within your WordPress installation.
\nIt caused me problems being in the \/wp-admin\/ directory so I deleted it from there and place it in the root of my blog \/mysite\/blog\/
\nSo keep that in mind!
\nAlso if you are creating the file locally and then uploading it make sure you change the file to a .ini and it does not still have the .txt extension on it.<\/p>\n
\n[It is a hidden file! So if you are using an FTP client make sure you set your ‘filter’ with the ‘-a’ option to ‘see hidden files’ and directories.]
\nAdd this line to the beginning of the file:<\/p>\n
\nAddHandler x-mapp-php5 .php
\n<Files xmlrpc.php>
\nSecFilterInheritance Off
\n<\/Files><\/p>\n
