Rest API not working on Multisite

Hello @shadialaghbari,

The message usually indicates that a security plugin is blocking the access. If you already tried disabling all plugins there is a high probability that the issue is caused by a custom function or a .htaccess rule. Keep in mind that rules written the .htaccess may remain there after a security plugin is disabled.

Additionally, you can also check your browser console for any errors that could indicate the exact reason for the API to not function properly.

If the error persists and your site is hosted with SiteGround please open a support request through your Client Area. This will allow us to investigate the case in detail while having the necessary access to your site and its configuration.

Best regards,
Dimo

Hello @dimodi ,
I have disabled all plugins, and the also my theme, so from where that custom function will come?

This console errors:

And here is my .htaccess file:

### Rewrite Rules Added by CyberPanel Rewrite Rule Generator

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.(.*)$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%1/$1 [L,R=301]

### End CyberPanel Generated Rules.

### Rewrite Rules Added by CyberPanel Rewrite Rule Generator

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS}  !=on
RewriteRule ^/?(.*) https://%{SERVER_NAME}/$1 [R,L]

### End CyberPanel Generated Rules.

There should be no issues with the provided htaccess directives. You can perform further tests using only the default Multisite htaccess directives, check for scripts definitions in php.ini./.user.ini files, etc. Also, despite the fact that plugins are deactivated, their files still could be executed. If you suspect such issue, you can move the plugins outside the default directory.

If your website is hosted on SiteGround servers, please open a ticket on our end so we can perform further investigation.

Problem not resolved…. why only your plugin does not work…. it should not be that difficult to run. should figure out away to make more simple.

Hello @shadialaghbari,

The SiteGround Optimizer plugin itself does not block the WordPress Rest API and you can verify that by activating it on a default installation. My colleagues have already outlined the potential reasons why the API might not be working on your website.

Still, if you experience further issues with the Rest API, you can consider contacting your hosting provider. If your website is hosted at SiteGround, you can easily contact us from your User Area and we will look into the problem in detail.
