Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Wonderful Secure Cleanup

Many core WordPress features like XML-RPC or comments are designed for blogging but are often unused on business websites. These unused features can create security vulnerabilities (attack surfaces) and add unnecessary "bloat" to your site. Disabling them makes your site leaner and more secure.

This plugin is ideal for websites that do not function as a traditional blog. If you rely heavily on comments, RSS feeds for subscribers, or third-party apps that require XML-RPC, you should not disable those specific features.

Yes. All changes are non-destructive. Simply go to the settings page, uncheck the box for the feature you want to restore, and save the settings.

Nothing breaks. The two .htaccess options simply stay inactive and the settings page shows a status notice telling you that the file could not be written. All PHP-level options keep working independently of the web server configuration.

The plugin opens the blocked URLs on your own site and checks that they return 403 Forbidden. The result is shown on the settings page and in Tools > Site Health. If the server ignores the rules (no mod_rewrite, .htaccess switched off, or not Apache), you see it there.

No. The plugin never touches wp-login.php, wp-admin or the REST API, and it never changes user capabilities. Only the specific endpoints you select (XML-RPC, feeds, comments, version output) are affected, and every option can be switched off again on the settings page. Deactivating the plugin removes the .htaccess block automatically.

No. Wonderful Secure Cleanup contacts no external service, collects no data (the .htaccess check only requests your own site) and stores nothing besides its own settings option.
