Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about RationalCleanup
The plugin applies its default settings immediately. Security options (XML-RPC disabled, user enumeration blocked, login error obfuscation) and safe cleanup options (emoji removal, jQuery Migrate removal, head tag cleanup) are enabled by default.
The default settings are designed to be safe for most sites. Features that could cause compatibility issues (disabling comments, block editor, or REST API) are disabled by default. You can enable them if needed after reviewing their impact.
Yes, your settings are preserved when you deactivate the plugin. They are only deleted if you completely uninstall (delete) the plugin.
Yes, RationalCleanup works well with caching plugins. After changing settings, you may need to clear your cache to see the effects on the frontend.
XML-RPC is a legacy API that most modern sites don't need. However, if you use the WordPress mobile app, Jetpack, or certain third-party services that rely on XML-RPC, you should leave it enabled.
It blocks two common methods attackers use to discover usernames: author archive URLs (/?author=1) and the REST API users endpoint (/wp-json/wp/v2/users). Logged-in administrators can still access these.
