Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about Disable XML-RPC – Dashboard Control
If you use WordPress mobile apps or remote publishing tools (like blog editors), you'll need to keep XML-RPC enabled. The rate limiting feature provides an additional layer of defense against common automated attacks, though we still recommend disabling XML-RPC when not actively needed.
No remote publishing No WordPress mobile app access No pingbacks/trackbacks Jetpack and similar plugins may have reduced functionality
XML-RPC is blocked by default. If a user unblocks it, then XML-RPC rate limiting is enabled by default, but can be disabled in settings.
Rate limiting tracks requests per IP address using WordPress transients (temporary data). It limits failed authentication attempts and high-risk methods to 5 per hour. This prevents basic automated attacks while allowing normal use.
We don't recommend users rely on rate limiting to secure their server. Rate limiting provides basic protection against automated attacks but has known limitations in high-concurrency scenarios. When XML-RPC is not needed, we recommend disabling it.
Yes, the plugin works with all caching solutions. Rate limiting hooks into WordPress core authentication and XML-RPC systems, which execute before cached pages are served.
Yes, when XML-RPC is enabled, Jetpack and other plugins that rely on XML-RPC will continue to function normally. The rate limiting protects against abuse while allowing legitimate traffic.
