jetpack whitelisting and wordfence and events calendar

if you disable xml-rpc and do not white list all the jetpack ip then the event calendar will not load completely

For WordFence under all options , use this: 192.0.[64-127].[1-254]
https://jetpack.com/support/hosting-faq/

to disable xml-rpc in the htaccess use this code

 
 Order Deny,Allow
 Deny from all
 Allow from 122.248.245.244/32
 Allow 54.217.201.243/32
 Allow 54.232.116.4/32
 Allow 192.0.80.0/20
 Allow 192.0.96.0/20
 Allow 192.0.112.0/20
 Allow 195.234.108.0/22
 Allow 192.0.96.202/32
 Allow 192.0.98.138/32
 Allow 192.0.102.71/32
 Allow 192.0.102.95/32
 Satisfy All

for some reason after disabling xml-rpc our stats improved . looks like bots were causing some kind of black hat seo via xml rpc ?
