Disables XML-RPC in WordPress for improved security. Lightweight, no settings.

== Description ==

This plugin disables the XML-RPC functionality in WordPress by using the `xmlrpc_enabled` filter. XML-RPC can be used for brute-force attacks and other malicious purposes. Most WordPress sites do not require it anymore.

**Features:**

* Disables all XML-RPC functionality
* Shows a one-line admin notice (visible to administrators only, on the Dashboard)
* No settings, no bloat

This plugin is lightweight and suitable for minimal or security-focused setups.

== Installation ==

1. Upload the plugin folder to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory.
2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress.
3. That’s it. XML-RPC is now disabled.

== Frequently Asked Questions ==
