wordpress disable xmlrpc

To disable XML-RPC in WordPress, follow these steps:

1. Log in to your WordPress dashboard.

2. From the left-hand menu, click on "Plugins" and then "Add New".

3. In the search bar, type "Disable XML-RPC" and press Enter.

4. Look for the plugin called "Disable XML-RPC" and click on the "Install Now" button next to it.

5. Once the plugin is installed, click on the "Activate" button.

6. After activating the plugin, XML-RPC will be disabled on your WordPress site.

Disabling XML-RPC can help improve the security of your WordPress site by preventing potential attacks. XML-RPC allows remote access to your site's functionality, which can be exploited by hackers.

By installing and activating the "Disable XML-RPC" plugin, you are effectively blocking any XML-RPC requests from being processed on your site. This helps protect your site from brute force attacks, DDoS attacks, and other malicious activities that could potentially exploit XML-RPC vulnerabilities.

Please note that some plugins or services may require XML-RPC to function properly. Therefore, it's important to assess the impact of disabling XML-RPC on your site's functionality before proceeding with this step.
