Excellent product!

I have used this product on a dozen of the websites I have built and have had positive results without exception. This plugin simplifies the process of securing my websites by disabling XML-RPC, and has worked on all versions of WordPress I have used it with over the past couple of years. Great product, Highly recommended!

Not working

I'll add my voice to the growing choir of people saying this plugin no long works, unfortunately. At least not with WordPress v5.4.1. On the plus, all one has to do is change the permission of the xmlrpc.php (in the root of any WordPress domain) to 600, and problem solved.

Thanks for this plugin. There's an instruction on FAQ on how to confirm if it's already working or not.

Working as expected. Thank you very much.

Remarkably effective

By tonvandervalk66 on August 21, 2017

Thanks a lot! Saves me another premium security plugin. I wonder why this option is not build in jetpack or wordpress standard.
