Disable XML-RPC Pingback Wordpress Plugin - Rating, Reviews, Demo & Download
Plugin Description
Stops abuse of your site’s XML-RPC by simply removing some methods used by attackers. While you can use the rest of XML-RPC methods.
This is more friendly than disabling totally XML-RPC, that it’s needed by some plugins and apps (I.e. Mobile apps or some Jetpack’s modules).
- The original one.
- Simple and effective.
- No marketing buzz.
- Maintained and updated when needed since 2014.
- 100% compliant with WordPress coding standards which makes it fail safe.
- 60,000+ active installations can’t be wrong.
If you’re happy with the plugin please don’t forget to give it a good rating, it will motivate me to keep sharing and improving this plugin (and others).
