directory of your WordPress installation or install it directly from your dashboard and then activate the plugin from Plugins page. - There’s not options page, simply install and activate.
FAQ-e
-
Is there something to do after install?
-
Yes, just activate it!
-
I already have a security plugin, do I need this plugin too?
-
It depends on your security plugin. Some secure XML-RPC, some just allow you to enable or disable it, some can stop attacks as Stop XML-RPC Attacks does. So you may have to read your security plugin FAQ / doc.
