 * Thousands of log messages ‘denied by server configuration’ on xmlrpc.php.
 * I am glad you make it unreacheable – wp should have an option to not have it 
   at all – but would it not be better to redirect it to a random name of a non-
   existend file so they get a 404?

 * Hi
 * I was experiencing something similar and turned out to be this issue:
    [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/rename-login-page-error-with-wp-5-7-rc3/](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/rename-login-page-error-with-wp-5-7-rc3/)
 * There’s a temporal workaround explained there.
    Hope this helps 🙂

 * This is a different issue. I have no fatal errors, only thousands of messages
   in the server logfile that accessing xmlprc.php is forbidden. I am glad it is
   forbidden because having it accessable is very dangerous (prone for hacking),
   but i want to get rid of the messages because i may loose any other – more meaningfull–
   messages.
