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).

Features

  • pingback.ping
  • pingback.extensions.getPingbacks
