 * I have tried to find help for this plugin to rename the xmlrpc file but I don’t
   understand the instructions I have downloaded the plugin but I don’t know where
   I should be making the changes where is the endpoint . Is the change just made
   with the file I have downloaded within the plugin. I need to do this because 
   I am with namesco and they block use of the xmlrpc file they recommend renaming.

 * This worked fine for me.
 * What I did was:
 * 1. Download and unzip the plugin
    2. Rename my existing xmlrpc.php file to “workaround.
   php” 3. Open the rename-xml-rpc.php file 4. In line 14 of the file (where it 
   says “//CHANGE THIS poiting to the renamed file”), change “xmlrpc2.php” to “workaround.
   php” 5. Upload the plugin 6. Activate the plugin in WordPress
 * You can use any file name instead of “workaround.php”

 * I just cannot get this to work with Jetpack and Namesco hosting!
