Goal

Disable WordPress XML-RPC (i.e: /wp/xmlrpc.php) via actions and filters. Especially for those who can't control their servers, for example: Kinsta, WP Engine or other managed hosting.

Why disable WordPress XML-RPC?

How?

Using actions and filters:

Disable all XML-RPC methods which require authentication.

Note: The name is misleading!

Remove all built-in/third-party XML-RPC methods.

Limit the number of elements to parse in an XML-RPC response. Thus, make most XML-RPC requests fail.

  • WordPress 4.9.8 or later
  • PHP 7.0 or later
