Updated WordPress is not working default xml-rpc but you can on/off manual follow my procedure:

1st install this plugin: WP Htaccess Editor

Then paste this code correctly without any spaces:

<Files "xmlrpc.php">
Order Allow,Deny
allow from all
</Files>

See the screenshot below

What are you trying to do?

XML-RPC is enabled by default.

XML-RPC functionality is turned on by default since WordPress 3.5.
  
  In previous versions of WordPress, XML-RPC was user enabled. To enable, go to Settings > Writing > Remote Publishing and check the checkbox.

Try going to http://example.com/wordpress/xmlrpc.php, your should see a message saying "XML-RPC server accepts POST requests only."
