why do I get Failed to create input stream: Server returned HTTP response code: 403 for URL: http://mydomain.com/wordpress/xmlrpc.php?

• if you installed a plugin called Enforce www. Preference, it would affect the path to your xmlrpc.php file, so deactivated it first.
• if you enabled mod_security on apache, it would block access to xmlrpc.php, so add this to your .htaccess file:

    <Files xmlrpc.php>
      SecFilterInheritance Off
    </Files>
