<p>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.</p>
<p>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).</p>
<ul>
<li>The original one.</li>
<li>Simple and effective.</li>
<li>No marketing buzz.</li>
<li>Maintained and <strong>updated when needed</strong> since 2014.</li>
<li>100% compliant with <strong>WordPress coding standards</strong> which makes it fail safe.</li>
<li><strong>60,000+ active installations</strong> can’t be wrong.</li>
</ul>
<p>If you’re happy with the plugin <a href="https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/disable-xml-rpc-pingback/reviews/?filter=5" rel="ugc">please don’t forget to give it a good rating</a>, it will motivate me to keep sharing and improving this plugin (and others).</p>
