    Hi,

    I want to include a plugin like this in my client’s sites using TGM Plugin Activation, so two quick questions:

    1. The Remove plugin by bradvin only unsets pingback.ping, is there a benefit to disabling pingback.extensions.getPingbacks too?

    2. You say in the description that wp.getUsersBlogs is removed too, is this by reference?

    Thanks,
    Adam

    Hi,

    1. The purporse of this plugin (at present) is to disable XML-RPC Pingback functionality complete. pingback.extensions.getPingbacks is used for attacks too, you can find some examples in Google searching a little. For example this one.

    2. Sorry about that. I’m testing about disabling wp.getUsersBlogs (commonly used to perform bruteforce attacks) and put that by mistake in the 1.0 readme (now is corrected). But it’s not really in the 1.0 code. If you want to try the plugin with this one too, try the development version. This version may break the usage of WordPress mobile apps, not tested yet.

    If you use the development version, don’t forget to give me some feedback ??

    Thanks for the fast reply Samuel. I’ll load the standard version into my client’s sites, and the development one into my own, I’ll let you know if there are any problems. I use the Android app, but rarely. ??
