Disable X-Pingback HTTP Header?

    I’ve been using your plugin for several sites I maintain and like it. But I recently have been getting notifications from Google Search Console that the /xmlrpc.php file can’t be indexed. Obviously, I don’t want it indexed, so I wondered why it was telling me this.

    It turns out, some site aggregators are including the X-Pingback header on their pages, which is getting crawled by a Google bot.

    So I was wondering if you’d be able to include an update that also removes this header information from HTTP requests. Here’s a Stack overflow topic about how to do it: https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/31943/is-there-a-way-to-completely-turn-off-pingbacks-trackbacks

    Thanks!

    Hi @bronsonoquinn

    Hope you are doing well.

    It seems there is a bug in the last plugin version it should disable pingback by default, I will fix the issue in the next release.

    Thank you for informing us.

    Best regards
    Amin
