Solve the Net

Pretty simply, this plugin uses the built-in WordPress filter “xmlrpc_enabled” to disable the XML-RPC API on a WordPress site running 3.5 or above.
Beginning in 3.5, XML-RPC is enabled by default. Additionally, the option to disable/enable XML-RPC was removed. For various reasons, site owners may wish to disable this functionality. This plugin provides an easy way to do so.

With WordPress version 3.5 remote publishing via XML-RPC became permanently active. This plugin simulates the functionality in versions 3.4 and before. Once active, XML-RPC functioning is disabled, and it can be enabled or disabled again in the “Settings” >> “Writing” admin page.

Control XML-RPC publishing

Control remote publishing with XML-RPC from the writing settings page.
