 * This is my shortcode:
    [wp_remote_site_search remote_url=’[https://shop.luckylittlelearners.com&#8217](https://shop.luckylittlelearners.com&#8217);
   title=’How can we help?’ placeholder=’Enter a search term.’ type = ‘products’]
 * ANd I just get the message about running the rest api or wordpress v4.7 or higher
   but shop.luckylittlelearners.com is on the latest WP version.

 * Hi [@espressivo](https://wordpress.org/support/users/espressivo/),
 * I tried on my end using the following shortcode and using our Astra theme site
   as the remote site, it worked.
 * `[wp_remote_site_search remote_url="https://wpastra.com/" title="How can we help?"
   placeholder="Enter a search term."]`
 * Refer to this [screenshot](https://share.bsf.io/kpuJRBxx), please.
 * Would you please check the remote site again?
 * Let us know how you go.
 * Kind regards,
    Herman 🙂

 * While I see that it does work, why am I getting that message for a site that 
   is indeed on the latest wordpress?
 * I get:
 * The remote site should have WordPress 4.7 or higher or Rest API (v2) plugin installed
   to get the search results.

 * Hi [@espressivo](https://wordpress.org/support/users/espressivo/),
 * It seems the REST API endpoint on the remote site has been disabled using the
   iThemes plugin. Please check this – [https://shop.luckylittlelearners.com/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/](https://shop.luckylittlelearners.com/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/)
 * I hope it will help.
 * Kind regards,
    Herman 🙂
