Wordpress REST API disabled 401

General
1

Hello,

I’m having trouble updating my website using the Live Composer. Google Developer tools says that the wp-json API is disabled (blocked?)

How do I resolve this issue? I disabled both of these Cloudflare firewall settings

WP0025A Disabled
WP0025B Disabled

Any help?

I still cant edit my blog page using live composer because of this issue.

I’m guessing its because of my page rules, how do I cache everything BUT the wp-rest?

The page rules I have set for my WordPress site are:

/wp-admin* Cache Level: Bypass etc
/wp-json* Cache Level: Bypass etc
/* Cache Level: Cache Everything etc

As for the /preview=true rule, it only affects pages generated by the Preview button, and you can instead always open a new window/tab when view a preview to avoid caching problems. Also you should include a similar rule on your WP caching plugin (WP Super Cache etc)

Thank you for your reply.

I feel like such a jack ■■■, I had W3 Total Cache set to “Disable Rest API”. :sob:
