Remove WordPress X-Pingback (Pingback)

Pingback is a means commonly used in weblogs to notify weblog system of the citation of articles. " PingBack is correctly translated into "broadcast" in Chinese, which means that the computer system sends reference information to the outside, but it should not be confused with broadcast in daily life.

A method for Web authors to get notifications when others link to their Web pages. This method allows Web authors to track who links to their articles. For example, WordPress has the function of automatically pingback all links in an article when it is published.

However, we generally do not use this function, but choose to disable it.

1. Remove the X-Pingback header of the original article

Here we should first switch to the specified database and display all the tables under the database:

USE database_name; -- Replace database_name with the name of the database to be operated on
SHOW TABLES;

Next, enter the command to remove the X-Pingback header of the original article in batches

 UPDATE laozuo.org_posts SET ping_status = 'closed';

Note the above laozuo.org_posts. If you change the database prefix, you need to change it to the corresponding database prefix before executing.

2. Disable xmlrpc

Uncheck both above

 Try to notify blogs linked in posts Allow other blogs to send link notifications (pingback and trackback) to new posts

The next problem is that the above settings are only useful for new articles. Some previous articles are enabled by default. Then when viewing the header on the article page with a browser, it will display something like
