    Hi John. I moved my site to a different host by copying files and database. Everything should be the same and everything works fine except for the following error in the redirection plugin. Can you give me some direction in how to resolve?

    Thanks.

    This kind of thing is usually caused by a security plugin of some kind. Does that match your setup? Have you tried the other options in the REST API dropdown in the error?

    I’m going to close this. I realized this was caused because I had changed my local hosts file to trick my computer to thinking my url resolves to the new host… for testing purposes. When i changed actual public DNS, the error went away.

    Thanks for the quick response!

    Sorry. I think i spoke too soon.
    -There are no security plugins and additionally, this is the same site copied over from another host so it has the exact same plugins as the site that works.
    -I also tried all the different drop down options which give the same errors.
    -The plugin status for all items say good under support. See below.
    -The only thing i could think that’s different are maybe PHP settings? Could that have an affect?

    WordPress REST API Good WordPress REST API is working at https://www.sfveincenter.com/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php?action=red_proxy&rest_path=
    Redirection routes Good Redirection routes are working
    Database tables Good All tables present
    Valid groups Good Valid groups detected
    Valid redirect group Good All redirects have a valid group
    Post monitor group Good Post monitor group is valid
    Site and home protocol Good Site and home are consistent

    It’s a memory error. I found it in CPanel caused by Ajax. What’s strange is PHP allows 512 and WP is asking for 256 and tried 512 so it shouldn’t run out. I may just try a VPS instead.

    Thanks

    Just wanted to add my scenario here in case it helps anyone else.

    I was working on a staging copy of a site that I had duplicated to my server. I was accessing it via https, however I must have chose to add an exception to the browser and I had not installed an SSL on the staging server. This was causing a connection point from being blocked due to mixed content.

    After installing an SSL and reconfiguring the Really Simple SSL plugin, the REST API was happily connecting again.
