WP External Links breaks WP REST API

    Hi,

    we’ve noticed that the WordPress REST API breaks if WP External Links is active.

    The affected endpoint in this case is wp-json/wp/v2/posts – it returns an empty result instead of the JSON data. Other endpoints work as expected, e.g. fetching tags, etc.

    I suppose that there’s somewhere an openend output buffer (ob_start()) which hasn’t been closed/flushed when the REST API renders the response.

    I’ve tested it on threee different sites – each of them shows the identical symptons.

    Hi,

    Thank you for using External Links! Unfortunately I could not reproduce the issue with only External Links active. Or maybe it’s some combination of settings.

    Can you copy/paste the Technical Info in the Support tab of the External Links settings page?
