Troubleshooting XML-RPC Access Issues in WordPress: How I Fixed the 403 Error and Plugin Conflicts.
In this video, I walk you through troubleshooting XML-RPC access issues in WordPress, focusing on how to fix the common 403 error that blocks the XML-RPC.php file. I explain why this file is crucial for remote blogging and using third-party tools, especially when managing WordPress through mobile apps. I cover the importance of correct file permissions, typically set to 644, and how improper settings can cause access problems.

I also share my experience dealing with plugin conflicts, especially when running many plugins simultaneously. My step-by-step method includes deactivating all plugins and reactivating them in small groups to isolate the cause. I demonstrate using XMLRPCchecker.com to check if your XML-RPC file is accessible or blocked.

In my case, the IP Geoblock plugin was blocking XML-RPC access due to its geographic restrictions. I show how disabling the XML-RPC feature within that plugin restored access without losing the plugin’s benefits. Finally, I emphasize clearing caches after making changes to ensure everything works smoothly. This guide will help you resolve XML-RPC issues efficiently and keep your WordPress mobile app functioning properly.
