Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about EnumGuard

Yes. Display names stay in content. EnumGuard stops login slugs, author archive URLs, and existence oracles—not bylines.

No. Logged-in users who can edit posts or list users still reach /wp/v2/users. Guests get a generic 404.

Login and lost-password protections apply to the WooCommerce account forms as well as wp-login.php. Bylines and display names are unchanged.

The app uses wp.getUsersBlogs. That method is removed while “XML-RPC user methods” is on. Turn that protection off if you need the app. Do not enable “Disable XML-RPC.”

Yes. Disable “Author archives” and “Author archive links” on the Settings tab. Keep author ID queries blocked so ?author=1 cannot reveal the nicename.

Yes. Uninstall deletes EnumGuard options on the current site, and on every site in a multisite network.
