This plugin secures a content management system by preventing user enumeration, a common attack vector where attackers discover valid usernames. It is designed for site administrators who need to harden their site's security and protect user identities.
Author Page Protection: Disables author archive pages completely or only for users without published posts, returning a 404 error instead. REST API Security: Secures the users endpoint to prevent listing of usernames through the default API. Login & Password Form Obfuscation: Replaces specific error messages on login and password reset forms with neutral responses, hiding whether a username exists. Feed and oEmbed Sanitization: Removes author names and profile links from RSS feeds and embedded content references. Sitemap Control: Provides an option to disable the default sitemap that discloses author usernames.
