wp_remote_get() not retrieving pages properly

The HTTP request sent by wp_remote_get() is different from the one that a browser sends. E.g the user-agent is different (see documentation). Some websites respond differently based on this. The second argument of wp_remote_get() allows one to alter the request. Websites might also respond differently depending on the IP or the number of requests received … Read more

WordPress REST API 404

I commented this, for my situation: I have this same issue. I’m on an Ubuntu-server, but I’ve simply pointed my host-file to point to the IP. I must admit I’m not 100% sure how the restful API works, if that has any effect or not. I’m on WP version 4.9.8, – and have the problem … Read more

Pagination shows 404 after a certain number of pages

The problem is that WordPress is executing the main query before your custom query (and the main query is based on the default post type only). You can intercept the main query, modify it, and then use it like so function add_blog_post_to_query( $query ) { if ( $query->is_home() && $query->is_main_query() ) { $query->set( ‘post_type’, array(‘post’, … Read more

REST API: No route was found matching the URL and request method

It’s because of how you’ve defined the accepted methods: ‘methods’ => ‘\WP_REST_Server::CREATABLE ‘, You shouldn’t have quotes around it.

You can see this in the response to the … Read more

404 when fetching image from wp-content/uploads/

Problem solved. The plugin “User Access Manager” was found guilty of inserting a .htaccess file into wp-content/uploads/ and not handling calls properly afterwards. I don’t know how UAM plugin could be fixed, but It’s ok to remove the .htaccess file. Nothing else depends on it. (at least in my case)

Multisite 404 errors and non-www redirecting to home page

There is currently a bug in the functionality that handles the NOBLOGREDIRECT constant, which causes 404 errors on the main site to be redirected to the value of the constant. Apparently this is the expected behaviour for sub-directory networks (example.com/subsite), but should not take place on subdomain networks (subsite.example.com). There is a WordPress Trac ticket … Read more
