The REST api encountered an unexpected result 404 WordPress Error

I spend several hours over two days trying to figure out what this error was.

I tried refreshing permalinks, deleting the .htaccess file and all sorts.

In the end, I found this helpful post on the WordPress support forums.

I narrowed the issue to a URL issue as it could not find the URL.

From the post, the suggestion was to change the permalinks to custom and add:

/index.php/%postname%/

I did that, saved and it worked.

The only issue now was every page had .index.php in front. I went back and changed to my standard permalinks setting “Post Name”, saved and now it works fine.
