    And even if you not block him, you have FA2 on him.

    Hello @123nadav

    Thanks for your question.

    We don’t use XMLRPC with our plugin. XML-RPC?is an application program interface (API) that’s been around for a while. It’s used by a number of plugins and themes, so we caution the less technical to be mindful of how they implement this specific hardening tip. While functional, disabling can come at a cost. This is why we don’t recommend disabling for everything, but being more selective on how and what you allow to access it. You can read more here.
