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.
![Screenshot 2022-07-08 093923](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/108933713/177983155-5ac67a54-47de-4aba-aad3-2f0e5ca3efdc.jpg)

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.
