## Beskrivelse

Stops abuse of your site’s XML-RPC by simply removing some methods used by attackers.
While you can use the rest of XML-RPC methods.

This is more friendly than disabling totally XML-RPC, that it’s needed by some plugins
and apps (I.e. Mobile apps or some Jetpack’s modules).

 * The original one.
 * Simple and effective.
 * No marketing buzz.
 * Maintained and **updated when needed** since 2014.
 * 100% compliant with **WordPress coding standards** which makes it fail safe.
 * **60,000+ active installations** can’t be wrong.

If you’re happy with the plugin [please don’t forget to give it a good rating](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/disable-xml-rpc-pingback/reviews/?filter=5),
it will motivate me to keep sharing and improving this plugin (and others).

#### Funktioner

Removes the following methods from XML-RPC interface.

 * pingback.ping
 * pingback.extensions.getPingbacks
 * X-Pingback from HTTP headers. This will hopefully stops some bots from trying
   to hit your xmlrpc.php file.

#### Requirements

 * WordPress 3.8.1 or higher.

## Installation

 * Extract the zip file and just drop the contents in the `wp-content/plugins/` 
   directory of your WordPress installation (or install it directly from your dashboard)
   and then activate the plugin from Plugins page.
 * There’s not options page, simply install and activate.

The plugin author is still actively engaged with this excellently useful plugin.
It receives updates only when needed which might be years in between updates. Still
works great! Highly recommend.
