 * Hi,
 * I am unable to locate any settings to Disable Self Pingbacks
 * Is it the same if I UNCHECK -> Default post settings -> Attempt to notify any
   blogs linked to from the post?
 * If it is not the same, Is the option missing in Clearfy OR am I unable to find
   it?
 * Please guide.
 * Thanks

 * Thank you for replying.
 * Can you please recheck? I do not think Disable Self Pingbacks is the SAME as 
   Disable XML-RPC
 * Thanks

 * [@webtemyk](https://wordpress.org/support/users/webtemyk/) It looks like this
   option does not seem to be available. I am looking for this feature.
 * Some info here: [https://perfmatters.io/docs/disable-self-pingbacks-wordpress/](https://perfmatters.io/docs/disable-self-pingbacks-wordpress/)
 * The code used in this plugin is
 *     ```
       /* Disable Self Pingbacks
       /***********************************************************************/
       if(!empty($perfmatters_options['disable_self_pingbacks']) && $perfmatters_options['disable_self_pingbacks'] == "1") {
       	add_action('pre_ping', 'perfmatters_disable_self_pingbacks');
       }
   
       function perfmatters_disable_self_pingbacks(&$links) {
       	$home = get_option('home');
       	foreach($links as $l => $link) {
       		if(strpos($link, $home) === 0) {
       			unset($links[$l]);
       		}
       	}
       }
       ```
   
 * Thanks

 * Hi,
 * If it helps, [https://wordpress.org/plugins/wpo-tweaks/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wpo-tweaks/)
   has the option to Disable Self Pingbacks
 * Please check what code are they using.
 * Thanks a lot

 * These options do the same thing in the end. But Clearfy completely disables the
   XML-RPC
