There are a few easy methods for checking if XML-RPC is off:

1. Try using an XML-RPC WordPress client, like the official WordPress mobile apps. The WordPress mobile app should tell you that “XML-RPC services are disabled on this site” if the plugin is activated.
2. Use the curl command to send an XML-RPC request to your site. If the response contains “XML-RPC services are disabled on this site” then the plugin is working properly and WordPress will not send data back to XML-RPC requests.
3. Try the XML-RPC Validator, written by Danilo Ercoli of the Automattic Mobile Team – the tool is available at?https://xmlrpc-check.hostpress.me/. Information and source code for the tool are available on GitHub at?https://github.com/daniloercoli/WordPress-XML-RPC-Validator. Keep in mind that you want the validator to fail and tell you that XML-RPC services are disabled.

See the screenshots for examples of what these tools will return when the plugin is enabled.

Hi @hnnhtabunan,

I apologize for the delayed response. Thank you for your patience.

Please make sure you are using the latest version of the plugin, as we have addressed this issue in the most recent update. Updating the plugin should resolve the problem you’re experiencing with the /xmlrpc.php file.

If you have any further questions or need assistance, feel free to reach out.

Best regards,
Delower

Thank you so much for your positive experience and feedback.

That’s great to hear, Jim! I’m glad you find the “Simple Disable” plugin to be straightforward and appropriate for improving security on your client websites hosted on Hostinger. It’s always important to prioritize security, and having the plugin installed on all your client websites is a proactive step. If you have any further questions or need assistance with anything else, feel free to let me know.
