The REST API encountered an unexpected result = 404 Not Found error
-
-
On iMac. Running Catalina 10.15.18 (highest I can go). Using Google Chrome 92.0.4515.131. Also tried Firefox 90.0.2 (64-bit)
ISSUE:
After update to WP 5.8 I went to a page to edit it. I clicked “view” and received error:“Not Found. The requested URL was not found on this server. Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.”
Dashboard > Site Health Status > The REST API encountered an unexpected result:
“`The REST API is one way WordPress, and other applications, communicate with the server. One example is the block editor screen, which relies on this to display, and save, your posts and pages.
The REST API call gave the following unexpected result: (404) <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC “-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0//EN”> <html><head> <title>404 Not Found</title> </head><body> <h1>Not Found</h1> <p>The requested URL was not found on this server.</p> <p>Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.</p> </body></html> .`”
I read instructions about 5.8 to log out, clear cache etc. and log back in, however, it didn’t resolve issue.
Any help is appreciated. I am a novice here. Thank you.

Was able to resolve 1 of the 2 issues mentioned above. I can now see each page with the “view” button, I do not get the 404 error page. I resolved this by referencing this page: https://www.ads-software.com/support/article/post-status/
My site is under construction. So I set 6 pages that are completed to “private” and “pending review” and the 6 I am still working on to “draft” and unchecked private.
I logged out, cleared cache and cookies and logged back in, however, I still get the Site Health Status > “The REST API encountered an unexpected notice” error in the dashboard.
