 * I am using the Redirection plugin and it is not working properly. It gives me
   the an error message: “There are some problems connecting to your REST API.” 
   I belive this may be due to an AIOWPS setting. Can anyone tell me which one?

 * Hi,
 * If you have the following feature enabled **Disallow Unauthorized REST Requests:**,
   can you disable it. This is located in **WP Security -> Miscellaneous -> WP REST
   API**.
 * Kind regards

 * Thanks, I knew it was there but couldn’t remember where. However, I was surprsied
   to see that this feature was not checked, as I thought this was what was blockng
   the plugin. Is there another setting that could be stopping the Redirection plugin
   from creating redirections? Presumably this plugin needs to be able to write 
   to the htaccess file.

 * Hi, in that case try the following.
 * Disable all Firewall rules, then carry out a test. If it works then you know 
   that it is one of the Firewall rules that is conflicting with your Redirection
   plugin.
 * Let me know how you go.
 * Kind regards

 * Thanks for the fast response. I tried that and it’s still not working. I am still
   getting the error “There are some problems connecting to your REST API” from 
   the Redirection plugin, even though this is not checked in the miscellaneous 
   section.

 * Okay lets try something different. Disable AIOWPS plugin, is your issue resolved?

 * Thanks – I had the same thought, and it didn’t solve the problem. As the site
   is just one page I reinstalled wordpress and the plugins, including AIOWPS, and
   recreated the page. That seemed to solve it.
 * Thanks again for your help.

 * Enjoy the plugin.
