    Good morning,
    I am rebuilding my entire site on a staging site including loading new versions of all plugins.
    Do I need to install the Legacy REST API plugin on what will be the new site or is it now superseeded?
    I’ve read through the posts and questions about this but, as they are all about 18 months old, I’m not sure if any of the answers are still current.
    I’m running ver. 10.3.5 and every plugin has been loaded from new (not transferred across) so I’m guessing that maybe I don’t need it.
    But you know what they say about guessing!

    Thanks
    Chris

    Hi Chris,

    Thank you for sharing the details about your site rebuild and your clear question regarding the Legacy REST API plugin.

    Since you’re running WooCommerce 10.3.5, you do not need to install the Legacy REST API plugin. That plugin was primarily intended for much older versions of WooCommerce, before the REST API was fully integrated and improved. Starting from WooCommerce 3.5 and onward (and definitely by version 10.3.5), the modern REST API is built-in and fully supported, so the legacy plugin is no longer necessary or recommended.

    If you have any custom integrations or third-party plugins that explicitly require the Legacy REST API, you might want to confirm their compatibility with the current WooCommerce REST API instead. But for most setups, you’ll be good to go without it.

    If you’d like, I’d be happy to hear more about your site rebuild goals or any new features you’re planning to implement. We have some great extensions and services that could help enhance your store’s functionality and performance, tailored to your specific needs.

    Please feel free to reach out if you have more questions as you continue with your staging and migration process!

    Hello, firstly, my apologies for not thanking you earlier to your answer, I am still working my way through a few of these issues but I should have replied earlier anyhow.
    A quick question if I may. When I follow your link to leave a review, it does not give me the option to ‘leave a review’, only an option to ‘edit your review’. Does this mean I have already left one?
    Thanks

    Chris

    Hi @windspeed,

    Thank you for your response. I believe I addressed this in another thread, but to clarify: if you see an option to edit a review, it means you’ve already submitted one. Kudos and thank you for taking the time to leave a review!
