Check your BPS Security Log and post a security log entry that shows what is being blocked so that a whitelist rule can be created for this.
Hi,
I’ve looked and got this. Is this what’s needed? it uses xmlrpc.php

Yep, I thought that was going to be the issue/problem.
Are you using this BPS Bonus Custom Code: http://forum.ait-pro.com/forums/topic/wordpress-xml-rpc-ddos-protection-protect-xmlrpc-php-block-xmlrpc-php-forbid-xmlrpc-php/
If so, you can whitelist ip addresses to allow your devices to connect to xmlrpc. See the forum link above for more details. Or you can of course just not use the BPS XML-RPC DDoS Protection code if that is what is blocking the xmlrpc connection.
If you are using something else (another plugin) to block xmlrpc then you would either need to use whatever whitelisting methods that are available in that plugin or just turn off xmlrpc blocking in that plugin.
Note: The BPS Security Log logs all 403 errors whether this is something that BPS is blocking or something that another plugin is blocking.
Merci!
Added the IP to the whitelist and this is functioning normally.
Thank you,
