Description
### Prerequisites
- [X] I have searched for similar issues in both open and closed tickets and cannot find a duplicate.
- [X] The issue still exists against the latest stable version of Elementor.
### Description
If I block xml-rpc.php to protect against brute-force strikes, Elementor page builder does not load. I have tried using a plugin to disable xml-rpc and also using .htaccess.

Is there an IP address I can enter to allow through the xml-rpc block? Or a setting in Elementor to stop it using xml-rpc method? Or alternative workaround?
Elementor Tech Support don't have a solution and requested that I ask here.
.
### Steps to reproduce
Add code to .htaccess
# Block WordPress xmlrpc.php requests
order deny,allow
deny from all
Elementor panel then won't load.
### Isolating the problem
- [X] This bug happens with only Elementor plugin active (and Elementor Pro).
- [X] This bug happens with a Blank WordPress theme active ([Hello theme](https://wordpress.org/themes/hello-elementor/)).
- [X] I can reproduce this bug consistently using the steps above.
