Can I toggle the visibility of endpoints?
Yes! You can quickly and easily toggle the endpoints, so they are either accessible or inaccessible to API requests. Using our interface you can enable the post types you need, while disabling the ones you don’t.
Can I alter the default REST endpoints using this plugin?
Yes, you can alter all core public post types and taxonomies using this plugin. You can enable/disable all public post types and taxonomies on your site, and enable/disable/customize their meta data using this plugin.
Can I alter REST endpoints for post types from other plugins or my theme?
Yes! Our plugin simply filters the rest_base parameter for the custom post type, so you can setup or alter REST endpoints for every custom post type on your site!
Are all post types customizable using this plugin?
Our plugin allows you to customize all of the post types within WordPress.
Can I customize the meta data assigned to post types?
Yes! Users can enable or disable custom meta data assigned to each post type. You can also change the name of the property for each meta data in the API request. If you assign custom meta fields to your posts using Advanced Custom Fields, CMB2 or add_meta_box() you can adjust the visibility, and customize the name, of the property in API requests.
Is this plugin compatible with the Core WordPress 4.7 REST API?
Yes! Version 1.3 of this plugin is compatible with WordPress 4.7.
Note: All properties in the API request are populated using get_post_meta() or get_term_meta(). If you need to filter a meta value, you can use the wp_rest_api_controller_api_property_value filter provided by this plugin.
ChangeLog
- Fixed the REST API endpoint when the
rest_base value is empty when a post type is registered.
