If you’re pulling REST API data from a WordPress site (“server”) to a non-WordPress site (“client”), your client site won’t have access to WordPress functions like get_the_title(), etc. What you will receive from the server is a JSON string that will look something like this: // eg. from example.com/wp-json/wp/v2/posts [ { “id”:10887, “date”:”2022-05-04T11:25:43″, “date_gmt”:”2022-05-04T16:25:43″, “guid”: … Read more
When you create or update a post, you can pass a featured_media argument in the POST data containing the media file’s post ID. (It appears you need to have the media item’s post ID, not the URL, for this to work.)
You need to pass the wp_rest nonce with the JavaScript request that you send to REST. This nonce is what passes the information from PHP to JavaScript about which user is making the request. Example: <form> <input type=”text” name=”rest_auth_nonce” value=”<?= esc_attr( wp_create_nonce( ‘wp_rest’ ) ) ?>”> </form> <script> jQuery.ajax({ beforeSend: function (xhr) { xhr.setRequestHeader(‘X-WP-Nonce’, jQuery(‘form’).find(‘input[name=”rest_auth_nonce”]’).val()); … Read more
I’m not entirely sure what will be better explanation, or why this one (the real one) is not enough. In your stats you see URLs of requests and not paths to files. URL has nothing to do with files on server. Yes – if the requests targets physical file, then that file exists, but… There … Read more
I found out this bug https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/4989 If an attribute get data from meta, and then post is saved/updated, it always return as undefined
Read the docs: you need to add a Header named X-WP-Nonce to your requests to the API that require authentication, as you can see in the jQuery example. However the catch is getting that nonce in the first place. WordPress inject that token itself in the post editing screens. Type wpApiSettings in the developer console … Read more
For remote apps (cURL, Postman, etc.), or when not using the browser, you should use an authentication plugin like Application Passwords instead of sending the cookies. But if you’d rather send the cookies, then copy and send the WordPress logged-in cookie named wordpress_logged_in_<hash>. Example in cURL: curl -H “X-WP-Nonce: <nonce>” -X POST https://example.com/wp-json/wp/v2/posts -d “Data … Read more
to add parameters when you use WP_REST_Request, you have to do that : $request = new WP_REST_Request(‘GET’, “/wp/v2/pages”); $request->set_query_params([ “slug” => $this->api_docs_page_id, ]);
Since 5.5 WP_Taxonomy objects now have a new method, get_rest_controller(), to allow for per-taxonomy controller overrides. The problem is that your plugin overwrites the taxonomy saved in the global $wp_taxonomies cache with a version that isn’t a real WP_Taxonomy object, just a stdObject property bag, and so does not have get_rest_controller() to call. This is … Read more
Yes. So long as the code you’re running happens after parse_request – which pre_get_posts does. (See https://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API/Action_Reference#Actions_Run_During_a_Typical_Request) Then you will have a nice constant to use: REST_REQUEST Something like if( defined( ‘REST_REQUEST’ ) && REST_REQUEST ) { // …do RESTy things } will do the trick.
