    IFTTT is going to need access to your xmlrpc.php file in order to run, but that’s blocked: https://etesco.com.br/xmlrpc.php

    Unfortunately, blocking XML-RPC is not a great solution for fighting security risks. It’s akin to selling your car because you don’t want it to be stolen.

    Your site’s XML-RPC file is kind of like a communication gateway to your site. The WordPress Mobile Apps, and many plugins and services will use this file to communicate to your site. If this is blocked, you will have other issues pop-up down the road for the same reasons.

    If you are using any security plugins, please try connecting with those temporarily deactivated. If you don’t have any, or if that didn’t work, I would suggest contacting your hosting provider and asking them to unblock your site’s XML-RPC. The most popular hosting providers out there have managed to find other ways to protect their servers without having to hinder your site and your ability to use services with your WordPress site.

    I have the same issue but I have bypassed it connecting iftt not my wordpress url but my rss feed.

    It depends on what direction you’re going.

    If IFTTT is getting content _out_ of WordPress, then you’ll need to provide your RSS feed URL.

    If IFTTT is putting content _in_ to WordPress, then you’ll need to provider your XML-RPC URL.

    In either case though, if either is blocked, then IFTTT won’t be able to reach it.

    in my case I only need it from WordPress to IFTTT.

    Sorry for the delay in the response, I talked to my host and they unlocked the file and it worked. Thank you very much.
