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](https://wordpress.org/plugins/advanced-custom-fields/), [CMB2](https://wordpress.org/plugins/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. ## Reviews ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/d5ab8b06fdde5dbd2f0928af5a9762466b019403e221a903bb99ece49c7a9b1b? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[taxonomies not saving](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/taxonomies-not-saving-3/)󠁿 [meirk](https://profiles.wordpress.org/meirk/) 14, Xunu de 2021 1 reply taxonomies not saving – no response from support ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/b8f59f03418cc2c91db523bb1e2cbd70aab44b08722a0ae045a583c24b12be1c? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[It is not removed from the plugin.](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/it-is-not-removed-from-the-plugin/)󠁿 [elec1123](https://profiles.wordpress.org/elec1123/) 28, Abril de 2019 1 reply It is not removed from the plugin. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/c3053acf7bc9313298b91457efb3332f92bee10a183272a7179bc7dc1646fbe7? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Just great](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/just-great-264/)󠁿 [](https://profiles.wordpress.org/stepes/) 22, Xineru de 2018 1 reply This thing saved me a lot of time trying to expose Woocommerce product price directly in WordPress API, awesome! ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/1b67d93bd5d5b1a22d36e06f2ce9979c01e5fa6c0b8573a9c6960453d48d8bd0? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[awesome plugin!!!!!](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/great-plugin-15138/)󠁿 [antimine](https://profiles.wordpress.org/antimine/) 11, Setiembre de 2017 1 reply This is the best of best!!! thank you very much!!!! ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/30eeeb55eb00fe69ec16a4e762d680368f7c88d487c836dbfa387be688b363e4? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Thanks!

Very handy— the one issue we did notice was that you cannot have a meta variable that has a “ custom meta key” name of “id” because when it conflicts with the Wordpress post ID in the JSON object: it makes all the custom fields appear empty. All we had to do was change that setting for the “id” field in the plugin’s admin panel and all was well.
