- Preserves Gutenberg compatibility while removing unnecessary endpoints.
- Exposes clean endpoints for Posts, Pages, Categories, Taxonomies, and Menus.
- Built-in structured block parsing for WordPress 7.0 readiness.
- Resolves Advanced Custom Fields (ACF) natively in API responses.
Installation

/wp-content/plugins/directory, or install the plugin through the WordPress plugins screen directly. - Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ screen in WordPress.
