Title: Error during setup Last modified: January 28, 2026 --- # Error during setup * Resolved [p42webdev](https://wordpress.org/support/users/p42webdev/) * (@p42webdev) * [2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-during-setup-6/) * Getting an error on the setup page. I already setup the reset page with the shortcode. * Error: “Failed to fetch posts from [https://domain.com/wp-json/wp/v2/pages?per_page=100&page=1”](https://domain.com/wp-json/wp/v2/pages?per_page=100&page=1”); Viewing 15 replies - 1 through 15 (of 16 total) 1 [2](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-during-setup-6/page/2/?output_format=md) [→](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-during-setup-6/page/2/?output_format=md) * Thread Starter [p42webdev](https://wordpress.org/support/users/p42webdev/) * (@p42webdev) * [2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-during-setup-6/#post-18802073) * Fixed it. * Rather than deleting, I will add here that the fix was to disable the Solid Security plugin. It was blocking the request that was sent to pull a list of pages. * Plugin Author [Wp Enhanced](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wpenhanced/) * (@wpenhanced) * [2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-during-setup-6/#post-18802476) * Hey [@p42webdev](https://wordpress.org/support/users/p42webdev/) * Do you mean our settings page? Solid Security was blocking us getting the pages to show in the select box? * Thread Starter [p42webdev](https://wordpress.org/support/users/p42webdev/) * (@p42webdev) * [2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-during-setup-6/#post-18802859) * Correct. Settings page and yes Solid Security was blocking the URL you are calling to get a list of pages. * Disabling the Solid Security plugin, loading and setting the page to use in the Settings page, then turning the plugin back on worked. * Plugin Author [Wp Enhanced](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wpenhanced/) * (@wpenhanced) * [2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-during-setup-6/#post-18802894) * ok thanks. I will take a look at this and see how we can avoid this. * Glad it works for you now though 😀 * [peterjabu](https://wordpress.org/support/users/peterjabu/) * (@peterjabu) * [2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-during-setup-6/#post-18802962) * hey [@p42webdev](https://wordpress.org/support/users/p42webdev/) Implemented a fix to use our own REST API rather than WP Please update to `1.3.1` and let me know, it has the fix * Thread Starter [p42webdev](https://wordpress.org/support/users/p42webdev/) * (@p42webdev) * [2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-during-setup-6/#post-18802984) * Updated, but now I am getting “0 posts loaded.” (in the little helper text below the dropdown on the settings page). * I tried deactivating Solid Security, but it didn’t make any difference. Same “ 0 posts loaded.” message. * So, for me at least, that is a step backward. * [peterjabu](https://wordpress.org/support/users/peterjabu/) * (@peterjabu) * [2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-during-setup-6/#post-18803010) * Sorry. Srange. I did some tests and works for me. * Don’t worry, it won’t effect your site unless you save the empty setting * In the console do you get an error? * Thread Starter [p42webdev](https://wordpress.org/support/users/p42webdev/) * (@p42webdev) * [2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-during-setup-6/#post-18803051) * The problem now is that I can’t set the page at all and the one I set yesterday is now wiped out. 🙁 * Checking out the inspector/console. No console errors. I see the call to load the pages (4x) and all are returning a 200 status, but if you check the “response” tab, it is empty. * I tried hitting the URL: [https://domain.com/wp-json/wpe/v1/settings/posts?post_type=pages&per_page=100](https://domain.com/wp-json/wpe/v1/settings/posts?post_type=pages&per_page=100) * and get this: {“code”:”rest_forbidden”,”message”:”Sorry, you are not allowed to do that.”,”data”:{“status”:401}} * If I turn off Solid Security and hit the same URL, I get the same error. So maybe another plugin? * Nope. Turned off ALL plugins (except this one of course) and still getting the same response. * [peterjabu](https://wordpress.org/support/users/peterjabu/) * (@peterjabu) * [2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-during-setup-6/#post-18803066) * does your user role allow you to manage posts? I added in security “manage_posts” and it’s blocking you * [peterjabu](https://wordpress.org/support/users/peterjabu/) * (@peterjabu) * [2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-during-setup-6/#post-18803074) * Before I release a fix for your case – can you download the file here: [https://we.tl/t-3LnE3Tox51](https://we.tl/t-3LnE3Tox51) * Then upload to: wp-content\plugins\frontend-reset-password\includes\settings\ organization\wp-enhanced\rest-endpoints\class-rest-endpoint.php * If it works, Ill release an update * Thread Starter [p42webdev](https://wordpress.org/support/users/p42webdev/) * (@p42webdev) * [2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-during-setup-6/#post-18803082) * I am the Site Admin, so full permissions. * I uploaded that file. No difference in response (the 401 error). I tried it both with and without the other plugins. * Moderator [Support Moderator](https://wordpress.org/support/users/moderator/) * (@moderator) * [2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-during-setup-6/page/2/#post-18803105) * [@p42webdev](https://wordpress.org/support/users/p42webdev/) Please do not email the developer access to your site. They will be banned if they accept that. * [@peterjabu](https://wordpress.org/support/users/peterjabu/) You need to right now explain that you will not seek login to any user’s site. Please take this serriously. * While I know you have the best of intentions, it’s forum policy that you not ask users for admin or server access. Users on the forums aren’t your customers, they’re your open source collaborators, and requesting that kind of access can put you and them at high risk. * If they are paying customers (such as people who bought a premium service/product from you) then by all means, direct them to your official customer support system. But in all other cases, you need to help them here on the forums. * Thankfully are other ways to get information you need: - Ask the user to install the Health Check plugin and get the data that way. - Ask for a link to the [http://pastebin.com/](http://pastebin.com/) or [https://gist.github.com](https://gist.github.com) log of the user’s web server error log. - Ask the user to create and post a link to their phpinfo(); output. - Walk the user through enabling WP_DEBUG and how to log that output to a file and how to share that file. - Walk the user through basic troubleshooting steps such and disabling all other plugins, clear their cache and cookies and try again (the Health Check plugin can do this without impacting any site visitors). - Ask the user for the step-by-step directions on how they can reproduce the problem. * You get the idea. * We know volunteer support is not easy, and this guideline can feel needlessly restrictive. It’s actually there to protect you as much as end users. Should their site be hacked or have any issues after you accessed it, you could be held legally liable for damages. In addition, it’s difficult for end users to know the difference between helpful developers and people with malicious intentions. Because of that, we rely on plugin developers and long-standing volunteers (like you) to help us and uphold this particular guideline. * When you help users here and in public, you also help the next person with the same problem. They’ll be able to read the debugging and solution and educate themselves. That’s how we get the next generation of developers. * [peterjabu](https://wordpress.org/support/users/peterjabu/) * (@peterjabu) * [2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-during-setup-6/#post-18803117) * Sorry I was just trying to get this solved as quick as possible. I will not ask for admin logins again. Let me try debug more locally to try replicate this and get a fix - This reply was modified 2 months ago by [peterjabu](https://wordpress.org/support/users/peterjabu/). * Thread Starter [p42webdev](https://wordpress.org/support/users/p42webdev/) * (@p42webdev) * [2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-during-setup-6/#post-18803127) * Sorry.

We have released a version 1.3.3 that uses ajax call instead of REST which security plugins might block.
