Plugin Description
Pretty simply, this plugin uses the built-in WordPress filter “xmlrpc_enabled” to disable the XML-RPC API on a WordPress site running 3.5 or above.
Beginning in 3.5, XML-RPC is enabled by default. Additionally, the option to disable/enable XML-RPC was removed. For various reasons, site owners may wish to disable this functionality. This plugin provides an easy way to do so.
Screenshots
An example of the error that the WordPress mobile app will return when this plugin is enabled. This is expected and indicates that the plugin is working as intended.
An example of a curl command attempting to request data via XML-RPC calls to the site when the plugin is enabled. The error “XML-RPC services are disabled on this site” is expected and indicates that the plugin is working as intended.
An example of Danilo Ercoli’s XML-RPC validator run against the site when the plugin is enabled. The error “Method not allowed” is expected and indicates that the plugin is working as intended.
