REST API conflicts with WP Super Cache

    When WP Super Cache is enabled, the REST API responses are broken on browsers. The actual responses are still functional, but the “frontend” looks broken:

    Disabling WP Super Cache makes the responses look like normal JSON responses, so it’s definitely a conflict caused by Super Cache or the REST API itself. Is there any workaround for this issue?

  • Maybe you solved it by yourself, but this is the workaround I just found out:

    1. Go to section “Accepted Filenames & Rejected URIs” which you can find in the advanced tab in WP Super Cache Settings.
    2. Add the string: “/wp-json/wp/v2/” without the quotes in the text area.
    3. Press the Save Strings button.

    Now it won’t try to get a cached version of a REST API endpoint.

    The alternative is to check the option “Don’t cache pages with GET parameters. (?x=y at the end of a url)”.
