Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about HWConnector Lite – Headless REST API & CORS

No. This plugin requires self-hosted WordPress (wordpress.org).

Only for the REST API feature. CORS, the contact endpoint, and security work independently.

WordPress uses wp_mail() which relies on your server's mail configuration. On most shared hosts it works out of the box. If not, install an SMTP plugin like WP Mail SMTP and configure it with your mail provider.

Confirm the origin is listed exactly as the browser sends it — including http:// or https://, no trailing slash Check that no other plugin is adding conflicting Access-Control-Allow-Origin headers Endpoints return 404. Go to Settings → Permalinks and click Save Changes to flush WordPress rewrite rules.

No. The plugin handles all the PHP. You configure everything through the admin dashboard.
