## Description

DK API transforms WordPress into a clean, controlled API backend by disabling the
frontend theme layer entirely, selectively removing default WP REST API routes, 
and registering a clean, versioned custom REST namespace.

#### Core Features

 * Fully disables the WordPress frontend.
 * 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

 1. Upload the plugin folder to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory, or install the
    plugin through the WordPress plugins screen directly.
 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ screen in WordPress.
 3. Configure the plugin in the Settings > DK Headless API menu.

## FAQ

### Does this disable the WP Admin?

No, the WP Admin and Gutenberg editors remain fully functional. Only the frontend
is disabled (returning 410 Gone or custom message).
