 * Hello,
 * Help me I can not figure out which field in the database is responsible for the
   option to enable / disable xml-rpc.
    P.S. I want it to turn on / off as a query
   to the database.
 * Best Regards.

 * If you change the setting in wp-admin does the option get created?

 * Unfortunately, this option is not created, but the xml-rpc works if I include
   it in control panel.

 * Hi,
 * You can simple do it from the wordpress admin panel settings via these steps:
   
   wordpress admin area -. Settings – writing settings.
 * [Refer this article:](http://www.bestwpthemez.com/wordpress/wordpress-error-xml-rpc-services-are-disabled-2853/)
 * Thanks,
 * Shane G.

 * You are absolutely right. Only his question was about how to turn it off/on via
   wp-admin, it was “I want it to turn on / off as a query to the database” 🙂
