Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Simple XML-RPC Pingback Disabler

This plugin disables only the XML-RPC API Pingback Methods that can be used by hackers on a WordPress site, providing an easy and simple way to disable/enable XML-RPC API Pingback Methods without completely disabling the XML-RPC API, which is used by some plugins and applications (i.e. mobile apps or a few Jetpack modules).
You can try the XML-RPC Validator, written by Danilo Ercoli. Keep in mind that you want the validator to fail and tell you that XML-RPC services are disabled. Plugin seems broken ... If the plugin is activated, but XML-RPC appears to still be enabled or if the plugin is deactivated, but XML-RPC appears to still be disabled, then it's possible that another plugin or the theme functions is affecting the xmlrpc_enabled filter. Additionally, server configurations could be blocking XML-RPC (i.e. blocking access to xmlrpc.php with the .htaccess file). <Files xmlrpc.php> Order allow,deny Deny from all Allow from 123.123.123.123 </Files>
The XML-RPC API or xmlrpc.php for WordPress, has nothing to do with SEO.
