Dear jvalen36,

You can use “WP Cerber Security, Antispam & Malware Scan” security plugins. It allows specifies REST API namespaces if REST API is disabled.

If you need more help with this issue, you can contact me.

I am sorry for the delayed reply.

I found out why WP-Statistics doesn’t show visitor-related data. To display visitor-related information, WP-Statistics plugins use the REST API service of WordPress. When iThemes Plugins is activated, it restricts access to the REST API service.

So WP-Statistics can’t display visitor-related information while iThemes is running. I searched the internet a lot, how to specify REST API namespaces to be allowed if REST API is disabled with iThemes. I’m sorry because I didn’t get anything like that.

Thanks a lot for your kind help…. Problem has been solved…

Need Help!!!

Hi Gioni,
Thank you very much for your reply.

I am sorry to say, I don’t know when the error occurred. I use “Error Log Monitor” to check the error/warning of my site. Today I login “admin panel” the see error ones again on the dashboard widget. You can check the screenshot here https://prnt.sc/sm7okf

I am really sorry for the delayed reply.

I note the article was last updated on December 27, 2016. They wrote “We felt that offering an option to restrict access to all of the information while still allowing the REST API to function was the best option for us and our users. and So in the next release of iThemes Security, we’ll be removing the option to disable the REST API and instead offer a single, recommended option that restricts access to potentially private data to either require a user or a user with specific privileges.

But still, there is no anyway to allow access to a specific namespace while keeping REST API blocked from unauthorized access. When I block the REST API, it is blocked for others.
