Does not do anything

@blamedutchie I’m thinking that maybe your site is blocking access the WP Rest API.

Do you know how to use your browser console to inspect a Network request?
You may want to check the response to check for an error.

@dcooney I’ve done what you suggested, there is indeed a 404 error “rest_no_route”. However, other plugins that use the API are working fine and a few quick wp-json requests shows that the API is working properly.

I’m assuming you are a site administrator role.

The only reason it would 404 is if it’s being blocked on the server somewhere or maybe you don’t have a minimum of activate_plugins user role <- though in this case, I doubt it would 404.

Are you running any security plugins or have another site you can test on?

@dcooney Your assumption is correct.

I am running Wordfence, but other rest_api calls are working properly. I’ve also ruled out the possibility of a browser issue, so for now… I’ll just try again when there is a newer version of the plugin.

Thanks anyway!
