    FAQ<\/h2>\n

    Should I leave it on?<\/h3>\n

    Leave it off unless a remote app or plugin needs XML-RPC. It is a common attack surface.<\/p>\n

    Need some help?<\/h2>\n

    Open a support ticket if the control is not in Staq, or the change does not save.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"template":"","class_list":["post-36646","knowledgebase","type-knowledgebase","status-publish","hentry","categories-security","categories-wordpress-hosting"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nHow to enable XML-RPC - Managed Hosting Platform for WordPress<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.wpstaq.com\/knowledgebase\/how-to-enable-xml-rpc\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"How to enable XML-RPC - Managed Hosting Platform for WordPress\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"XML-RPC is an Nginx toggle on the Access Control tab.
