Comprehensive Anti-Spam Solution for WordPress

Remove XML-RPC Methods is a free WordPress plugin designed to enhance website security by disabling specific XML-RPC functionalities. This plugin offers a straightforward approach to preventing unwanted access by deactivating pingbacks, trackbacks, and Really Simple Discovery (RSD), alongside the standard XML-RPC methods that require authentication. It is ideal for users seeking to fortify their WordPress sites against spam and potential vulnerabilities associated with XML-RPC.

Compatible with any web server, the plugin operates without modifying the .htaccess file, ensuring a hassle-free installation process. Users can verify the effectiveness of the plugin through command-line testing with cURL, which allows them to confirm that only specified methods remain active. This functionality makes Remove XML-RPC Methods a reliable choice for those looking to streamline their site's security and minimize exposure to unwanted interactions.

Based on our scan system, we have determined that these flags are possibly false positives.

What is a false positive?
