# Server couldn’t communicate with xmlrpc.php

 * Hi,
    I have problems with my webpage and the jetpack plugin, which worked without
   problems before. Since a few days, jetpack can’t commnicate with my xmlrpc.php
   file. I havent’t changed anything in the wp.conifif file or in the xmlrpc file
   itself.
 * It seems, that it stopped working from one day to the other.
    I have read in 
   some forums, that this file can have problems with iThemes Security which I have
   installed. But I installed the plugin long before the problems occur.
 * I also tried all the Troubleshooting tips from jetpack itself. But none of them
   worked out for me.
 * The only thing I noticed was an “attack” from some russian guys who flooded my
   subcribe form, but they haven’t confirmed their mails and as I recognized it 
   I removed them by hand.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fserver-couldnt-communicate-with-xmlrpc-php%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Hi [@gintographie](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gintographie/)
 * Right now, the file is just showing blank:
 * [https://www.gintography.com/xmlrpc.php](https://www.gintography.com/xmlrpc.php)
 * This would not be something with Jetpack, but either with your host or WordPress
   installation. Some security plugins may also interfere with the XMLRPC file.

 * Hi Bruce,
 * Yeah I know it‘s empty.
    But I don‘t know why I have problems now. I haven‘t 
   changed anything in the last days.
 * As Hoster I use bluehost.com and as Security Plugin iThemes Security. But all
   the components worked together without problems before.
 * Do you have suggestion for a Security Plugin, that is working with the xmlrpc.
   php file?

 * Hello, there.
 * Were you able to solve this issue on your own? Right now, I see that your Jetpack
   plugin is connected solidly, is updated to the latest version, and doesn’t seem
   to be having any errors:

 * If you’re still having problems, please let us know how we can recreate them 
   and we can help troubleshoot from there. Thanks!
