Nginx document error: REST API disabled

[dmacoxford]

We have been having site load speed issues particularly related to Revolution slider hogging all the load speed.

At server level we have added in the following boost settings which has increased the load speed of the site

Available Boosts

• Optimize the web server

• Speed up web server static file access
  Configures static file cache. Show details

-Speed up web server compression
Configures the optimal GZIP/Brotli compression. Show details

-Optimize PHP settings
Enables JIT compilation and the realpath cache. Show details

• Switch to a modern PHP version (plesk-php82-fpm)
  Modern PHP versions are generally faster, but may introduce breaking changes to the existing code.

BUT
we can not now amend the site using cornerstone.

We keep getting the following error message.
nginx document error: REST API disabled

Any suggestions as to what to do so we can keep the speed of page loading but also be able to amend the site using cornerstone.

Hello @dmacoxford,

Thank you for the inquiry.

The /wp-json/ path is accessible, which means that the REST API is working in general. Did you recently install any security or caching plugins? It’s possible that one of the plugin settings is disabling the REST API or specific routes required by the builder. Have you tried temporarily disabling the cache and security plugins to test?

Best regards,
Ismael
