 * I am seeing multiple error messages on all sites running the CleanTalk plugin.
 * One site has this error message when I tried to check the connection to API servers–
   I have highlighted the part that concerns me:

 * I have xmlrpc calls blocked on my sites for security reasons, and xmlrpc disabled

 * Hello [@abigailm](https://wordpress.org/support/users/abigailm/)
 * We do not use xmlrpc. We have been reported with the same issue not long ago.
 * Please, install the dev version and tell me if this helps or not.
 * Download link: [https://github.com/CleanTalk/wordpress-antispam/releases/download/dev-version/cleantalk-spam-protect.zip](https://github.com/CleanTalk/wordpress-antispam/releases/download/dev-version/cleantalk-spam-protect.zip)
 * Here is a guide for you:
    1. Go to WordPress Administrator Panel —> Plugins. 
   2. Find the plugin “Spam Protection by CleanTalk” —> Deactivate. 3. After the
   automatic page refreshing find the plugin again “Spam Protection by CleanTalk”—
   > Delete. 4. Confirm “Yes, delete these files”. 5. Download the plugin archive
   from the link above. 6. Go to Plugins —> Add New —> Upload Plugin. 7. Choose 
   the downloaded archive and press “Install Now”.
 * Contact us if you have any questions.
 * Best wishes,
