Another REST API Issue

    I am another person with a REST API problem installing Site Kit. Notices from my Site Health are below

    Thanks for any advice.

    A PHP session was created by a?session_start()?function call. This interferes with REST API and loopback requests. The session should be closed by?session_write_close()?before making any HTTP requests.

    ********************************

    The REST API is one way that WordPress and other applications communicate with the server. For example, the block editor screen relies on the REST API to display and save your posts and pages.

    When testing the REST API, an unexpected result was returned:

    REST API Endpoint: https://www.slbotanicalgardens.com/wp-json/wp/v2/types/post?context=edit
    REST API Response: (404) Not Found

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    Thanks for getting in touch @sandyfischler. While the error you’re facing with your REST API is not Site Kit specific, let’s perform some checks and see if we are able to get you connected. Before doing so, please share the following:

    1. Your Site Health information. You can use this form to share privately if preferred.??
    2. What happens when you attempt Site Kit set up? By that I mean does are you unable to complete setup, with an error appearing at some stage? You can share a screen recording of your experience if you wish, using a service such as Loom or RecordIt.

    From some basic checks on your site I also noticed that your website is not fully secure (https). I checked visiting the secure version of your site (https://www.slbotanicalgardens.com/) and after proceeding I’m directed to a different site. This may be impacting your WordPress REST API. You may wish to speak to your website designer or hosting provider about this, you’ll see a recording of this experience here.

    Let me know if you have any questions with the above.
