<li>Sites that don’t use mobile apps or remote publishing</li>
<li>Sites experiencing XML-RPC attacks</li>
<li>Performance-conscious administrators</li>
<li>Anyone wanting better control over WordPress features</li>
</ul>
<h3>🔧 How It Works</h3>
<p>This plugin uses the native WordPress <code>xmlrpc_enabled</code> filter to safely disable XML-RPC without modifying core files. Simply activate the plugin, toggle the switch on the settings page, and you’re protected!</p>
<h3>⚠️ Important Note</h3>
<p>Disabling XML-RPC may affect:<br />
* WordPress mobile apps<br />
* Jetpack (some features)<br />

* Third-party services that rely on XML-RPC</p>
<p>Only disable XML-RPC if you don’t use these features.</p>
