so how can i stop it

3om3: there's a few things you can do:

1. Check the WP plugins repository. There's a couple of plugins that let you disable it. Here's one of them:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/disable-xml-rpc-pingback/

2. Set up an .htaccess <files> directive to restrict access to xmlrpc.php
3. Edit your wp-config file to disable it.

There's been a huge rise in attacks on XMLRPC, I've been disabling it on my blogs, don't need it.

Cloudflare protects the blogs against most of that attacks..

BUT YA!

the more rules/protections the better.

thnx alot ill do that
