EnumGuard Wordpress Plugin - Rating, Reviews, Demo & Download
Plugin Description
EnumGuard is a focused WordPress plugin that stops attackers from confirming that a username or user ID exists. WordPress still prints those signals by default; EnumGuard closes the usual paths without hiding display names on posts.
Under Settings EnumGuard you get three tabs:
- Protections — overview of which discovery paths are closed
- Settings — toggles and custom login / reset messages
- About — plugin info
Protections covered:
- Author ID queries (
?author=1) that would otherwise redirect to the author archive - Author archives and their feeds
- Author archive links printed in HTML
author-{id}/author-{nicename}body, post, and comment CSS classes- Core users sitemap (
/wp-sitemap-users-1.xml) - Unauthenticated
/wp-json/wp/v2/users(including?rest_route=) - REST
_embedauthor payloads and author link headers - Login error messages that distinguish “bad username” from “bad password”
- Lost-password responses (same confirmation whether the account exists)
- oEmbed
author_url/author_name - XML-RPC user-listing methods, with an optional full XML-RPC disable
- Author sitemaps and author archive URLs from Yoast, Rank Math, and The SEO Framework
Recommended protections ship enabled. Gutenberg still reaches the users REST API for logged-in editors. Display names stay visible. Login and reset protections also cover WooCommerce forms when WooCommerce is active. XML-RPC can be turned off completely if you do not need Jetpack, pingbacks, or the WordPress mobile app.
