Check REST API Status Using WordPress Site Health<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You can check the status API in WordPress itself. The process is quite simple. The Site Health utility built into WordPress grants you various information about various aspects of your site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Accessing this utility is fairly easy. To access it<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Navigate to <strong>Tools &gt; Site Health<\/strong> from the WordPress Panel.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"335\" height=\"229\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youstable.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/img2.png\" alt=\"Check REST API Status Using WordPress Site Health\" class=\"wp-image-7540\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.youstable.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/img2.png 335w, https:\/\/www.youstable.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/img2-145x100.png 145w, https:\/\/www.youstable.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/img2-150x103.png 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 335px) 100vw, 335px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>If it shows <strong>\u2018The REST API encountered an unexpected result\u2019<\/strong>, there might be something wrong with the service.

Disable All Your WordPress Plugins<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>As we already discussed, plugins can sometimes mess with some of the functions. And this might lead to an error.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sometimes the Site Health utility will tell you that <strong>Plugins are causing the REST API to misbehave<\/strong>. To fix this follow the steps below-<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Click on <strong>Plugins<\/strong> in the left menu bar<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Now go to <strong>installed plugins<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Select <strong>Bulk Action<\/strong> from the drop-down menu<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youstable.com\/blog\/how-to-disable-wordpress-plugins\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Deactivate<\/strong> all the Plugins<\/a> at once.

Check Website Firewall Service<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A firewall is exactly what it sounds like. A firewall saves the network from connecting to malicious or potentially malicious servers. In addition to Computers, firewalls are also available for Websites and WordPress Sites. <strong>Firewalls provided by Cloudflare and Sucuri are such firewalls.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These firewalls might block the REST API sometimes. This happens for various reasons. If you are currently <strong>receiving a DDoS attack<\/strong>, the <strong>Firewall might block API access<\/strong>. But if that is not the case, your IP address might be deemed suspicious by the Firewall provider.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This can happen if you are using VPN and immediately connecting to WordPress. Or simply if you live in an area that is considered suspicious.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Services like Cloudflare can be temporarily disabled.<\/strong> This way you can see if this is the problem. The Cloudflare menu can be found in the Domains section in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youstable.com\/blog\/choose-the-best-wordpress-hosting\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">WordPress hosting<\/a>. This will vary from hosting to hosting, so consider checking out tutorials or documentation of your Hosting service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"step-5-enable-and-review-wordpress-debug-log\">Step 5. Enable and Review WordPress Debug Log<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The Debug log is a great way to identify and solve problems in your WordPress hosting.<\/strong> This allows you a deeper insight into the problems that occur. WordPress logs various errors but unfortunately, it doesn\u2019t log REST API errors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>But why are we told to check the Debug log then?<\/strong> Although the Debug log doesn\u2019t have a log of REST API errors, you can see other errors that took place and find out if that errors might be correlated with the REST API. To do that you would have to work a little.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>First, you would have to<strong> add some lines to the wp-config.php file.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"520\" height=\"407\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youstable.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/img5.png\" alt=\"Enable and Review WordPress Debug Log\" class=\"wp-image-7543\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.youstable.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/img5.png 520w, https:\/\/www.youstable.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/img5-150x117.png 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 520px) 100vw, 520px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Add these lines to the file.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"810\" height=\"349\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youstable.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/img6.png\" alt=\"Add these lines to the file.\" class=\"wp-image-7544\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.youstable.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/img6.png 810w, https:\/\/www.youstable.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/img6-768x331.png 768w, https:\/\/www.youstable.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/img6-150x65.png 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 810px) 100vw, 810px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-syntaxhighlighter-code \"><pre class=\"brush: plain; title: ; notranslate\" title=\"\">\n&quot;\/\/ Change WP_DEBUG to true\n \ndefine( &#039;WP_DEBUG&#039;, true );\n \n\/\/ Keep a log of WordPress errors\n \ndefine( &#039;WP_DEBUG_LOG&#039;, true );&quot;\n\n<\/pre><\/div>\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Now <strong>save and upload the file<\/strong> to your server.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Updated<\/strong> or Public a page to reenact the error.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youstable.com\/blog\/knowledgebase\/how-to-use-filezilla-ftp-client\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Connect to your WordPress site server with an FTP client<\/a> <strong>(you would need your FTP Server address and Password)<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Navigate to <strong>\/wp-content\/<\/strong> in the FTP Server.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Download debug.log from \/wp-content\/<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"690\" height=\"387\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youstable.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/img7.png\" alt=\"Download debug.log from \/wp-content\/\" class=\"wp-image-7545\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.youstable.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/img7.png 690w, https:\/\/www.youstable.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/img7-150x84.png 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 690px) 100vw, 690px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Open the<strong> log file with Text Editor or compatible software.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"690\" height=\"317\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youstable.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/img8.png\" alt=\"Open the log file with Text Editor or compatible software.\" class=\"wp-image-7546\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.youstable.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/img8.png 690w, https:\/\/www.youstable.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/img8-150x69.png 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 690px) 100vw, 690px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Search for a <strong>plugin<\/strong> or<strong> theme file name <\/strong>and<strong> read the error next to it.<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Try to understand the error, if you can\u2019t get help from professionals or online help. <strong>You can use Reddit or online forums.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"step-6-temporarily-switch-to-the-classic-wordpress-editor\"><strong>Step 6.
