This plugin is for WordPress site owners who want to close off remote posting and editing access to their site. It completely disables the XML-RPC API introduced in WordPress 3.5, preventing remote clients from posting, uploading, or editing content, though this also breaks WordPress app and Jetpack connectivity.
