    Hi,

    I’ve been trying to interface with the Rest API, my scenario is that I am creating a new redirection item for a new post when its created, the target url will be the permalink of this new post.

    My issue is when I trash the post, I expect it to change the status of the redirection to ‘disabled’, but it does not seem to work, only the target url get’s updated, here’s a screenshot:

    The parameters I pass is this:

    I am using the action:
    add_action( 'transition_post_status', 'createRedirect', 10, 3 );

    And in the function:

    
...
// When trashed
      elseif ( ( $new == 'trash' ) && ( $old == 'publish' ) ) :

        //wp_die(var_dump($new) . var_dump($old));
        
        $redirectSlugID = get_field('redirect_id', $post->ID);

        $params['url'] = get_field('short_url_slug', $post->ID);
        $params['status'] = "disabled";

        //wp_die(var_dump($params));

        $request = new WP_REST_Request( 'POST', '/redirection/v1/redirect/' .  $redirectSlugID);
        $request->set_query_params( $params );
        $response = rest_do_request( $request );

      else :
        return;
      endif;

    Hi John,

    is the Rest API guide somehow not up to date?

    I noticed that the request response data, in particular the “status” field has been changed to “enabled=true”.

    I am wondering how to correctly update the status of redirection item via rest API.

    The API doesn’t currently support a status change in that way. If you look at what happens when you enable/disable a redirect from the UI you will see the only currently supported way.

    Hi John,

    I have found that it works by doing it this way:

    
$request = new WP_REST_Request( 'POST', '/redirection/v1/bulk/redirect/delete');
$request->set_param( 'items', $shortUrlID);
$response = rest_do_request( $request );

    Thanks a lot!

    Teej
