Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about Disable REST API
While logged into WordPress as any user, the REST API will function as intended. Because of this, you must use a new browser - or Chrome's incognito mode - to test your website with a clean session. Go to yourdomain.com/wp-json/ (or yourdomain.com/?rest_route=/ if you have pretty permalinks disabled) while NOT LOGGED IN to test the results. You will see an authentication error returned if the plugin is active. "DRA: Only authenticated users can access the REST API."
This plugin is ONLY meant to disable endpoints accessible via the core REST API that is part of WordPress itself. If a plugin or theme has implemented their own REST API (not to be confused with implementing their own endpoints within the WordPress API) this plugin will have no effect.
