    To allow Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) for JSON files in the wp-content folder, you can configure Apache and Nginx servers as follows: Apache Configuration (in .htaccess or Apache configuration file)

    1. Using .htaccess: Open or create the .htaccess file in your wp-content folder and add the following lines:
       <FilesMatch "\.(json)$">
           <IfModule mod_headers.c>
               Header set Access-Control-Allow-Origin "*"
           </IfModule>
       </FilesMatch>

    This snippet will set the Access-Control-Allow-Origin header for JSON files.

    1. Using Apache Configuration File: If you have access to your Apache configuration file (e.g., httpd.conf), you can add the following configuration:
       <Directory "/path/to/your/wp-content">
           <FilesMatch "\.(json)$">
               <IfModule mod_headers.c>
                   Header set Access-Control-Allow-Origin "*"
               </IfModule>
           </FilesMatch>
       </Directory>

    Replace "/path/to/your/wp-content" with the actual path to your wp-content directory. Nginx Configuration (in nginx.conf or virtual host configuration file)

    1. Using nginx.conf or Server Block: Open or create the configuration file for your Nginx server (commonly located in /etc/nginx/nginx.conf or /etc/nginx/sites-available/your-site) and add the following block:
       location ~* \.(json)$ {
           add_header 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' '*';
       }

    This will set the Access-Control-Allow-Origin header for JSON files.

    Remember to restart your Apache or Nginx server after making these changes for the configuration to take effect. Also, keep in mind that allowing all origins (*) might have security implications, and it’s recommended to restrict it to specific domains if possible.
