Avatar Manager


First off great that this plugin works, doesn’t cause download of huge images to display as small avatars and seems to work well 🙂



I like that it supports gravatar as a default.



I'm not sure it is still supported but if it is, it needs to have at least meta data updated so everything doesn't point to moved pages and needs to be marked as tested in release 6.4.2 or so...


Works in WP 6.4.2, Not sure is Still Supported

<h4>What Is xmlrpc.php?</h4>
<p><a href="http://www.xmlrpc.com/" rel="nofollow ugc">XML-RPC</a> is a remote procedure call (RPC) protocol, a feature included in WordPress, which enables data to be transmitted. It uses HTTP as the transport mechanism, and XML to encode its calls.</p>
<p>Unless you use remote technologies and mobile applications to update your WordPress site, you might not be familiar with XML-RPC. For the uninitiated, you can use xmlrpc.php to establish a remote connection to WordPress, and make updates to your site without directly logging in to your WordPress system.</p>
<p>XML-RPC is indeed useful for enabling remote connections between various external applications and WordPress. On the other hand, disabling this feature can help improve your site’s security.</p>
<h4>Why You Should Disable xmlrpc.php?</h4>
<p>The problem is that xmlrpc.php poses a security risk. It creates an additional access point to your site, which could leave it vulnerable to external attacks. Every time you authenticate XML-RPC, you need to supply your username and password. As you can imagine, this isn’t exactly ideal for security purposes.</p>
<p>For example, in order to prevent brute force attacks, you can limit login attempts on your WordPress site. However, with XML-RPC enabled, that limit does not exist. There’s no capping on login attempts, which means it’s only a matter of time before a determined cybercriminal gains access.</p>
<p>By disabling the feature, you are closing a potential area of entry for hackers.</p>
<p>XML-RPC functionality is turned on by default since WordPress 3.5. This plugin completely disables the XML-RPC API which can be abused by hackers on a WordPress site, providing an easy and simple way to disable/enable the XML-RPC API.</p>
<h4>Requirements</h4>
<ul>
<li>WordPress 3.8.1 or higher.</li>
</ul>
