 * Hi,
    I am trying to connect Pirate Ship to Woocommerce, but its not working. 
   The Pirate Ship team said they looked into it and they get error 404 when trying
   to connect. They said its because the REST API is disabled. Can someone explain
   how to activate it as if I have never heard of the internet. Google has no clue
   it seems.
 * Thanks!
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Frest-api-help-3%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * There are several reasons why a status code other than http 200 is received, 
   a special case is for http 404 in wordpress for the API REST results in checking
   more than once with the possible variants.
    Pretty Permalink (mod_rewrite) [http://yourdomain.com/wp-json/](http://yourdomain.com/wp-json/)(
   Pathinfo) [http://yourdomain.com/index.php/wp-json/](http://yourdomain.com/index.php/wp-json/)
   Ugly (without mod_rewrite with query string) [http://yourdomain.com/?rest_route=/](http://yourdomain.com/?rest_route=/)
   Currently you are using the Ugly method but the plugin expects the Pretty Permalink
   method. Copy past this message to their support.

 * How can I switch it to the pretty method? Their platform currently just does 
   the pretty method it seems.
