 * Hi
 * I’ve just tried turning on the “Block XMLRPC Access” option and it broke my website
 * Turns out I’m running Apache 2.4 some of the commands have changed from v2.2 –
   specifically in this case the ORDER, DENY and ALLOW directives.
 * In Apache 2.4 these have changed to use the REQUIRE directive – so the following
 * <Files xmlrpc.php>
    order deny,allow deny from all allow from 127.0.0.1 allow
   from 127.0.0.1 </Files> # END GOTMLS Patch to Block XMLRPC Access
 * needs to be changed to
    <Files xmlrpc.php> require host 127.0.0.1 </Files>
 * Is there any way this can be incorporated please.
 * more information can be found at [https://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/upgrading.html](https://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/upgrading.html)
 * Thanks

 * I fixed this in my latest update. The new released of my plugin now attempts 
   to detect what version of Apache you are using and then implements the correct
   directives in your .htaccess file.

 * Hmm – something still wrong. Getting the message
    Unknown Authz provider: 127.0.0.1
   All the documentation says that I need mod_authz_host enabled and it is, so there
   must be more to it. I’ll have a look and get back to you if any further changes
   need to be made

 * I just released the new version of my plugin with the Apache 2.4 support fixed.
   Please upgrade to version 4.16.48 and let me know how it works for you.
