WordPress: How to disable XMLRPC

#wordpress #xmlrpc #security

You should open the .htaccess file in the main directory of WordPress and put a couple of strings of code like in example below.

<Files xmlrpc.php> order deny,allow deny from all </Files>
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Or you can open it for an IP address

<Files xmlrpc.php> order deny,allow deny from all allow from 192.168.0.1 </Files>
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode
