 * Hello [@ka2id](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ka2id/)
 * I think this sounds like a similar issue for another user, please make sure you
   check only that the “pingback.ping” has been disabled, not the whole XML-RPC 
   section. That is the point of this particular plugin to block one particular 
   piece of functionality.
 * The login attempts are not going to stop, this plugin blocks the “pingback” method
   that was abused a lot. This has nothing to do with blocking login attempts, so
   your expectations is based on something that the plugin never offered.
 * This plugin is for websites that still used the XML-RPC features, but want to
   have the particular “pingback.ping” method disabled.
 * When you want to test the efficiency of the plugin, please only test that part.
   There is a good explanation on why this plugin was made to begin with (not me)
   and how to test it here: fooplugins.com/prevent-wordpress-pingback-ddos/
 * I have just gone through the process again, and on the two sites I tested it 
   worked as expected. The XML-RPC was not fully blocked, but the particular method“
   pingback.ping” was.
 * It would have been very nice of you to create a support ticket to get help, instead
   of a one-star review. But I hope you will at least update this review to reflect
   the information I have explained.
