Troubleshooting: Failed to get echo data from WPAPI
-
Step 1: Verify IP Detection
Add this code snippet to your theme’s
functions.php
file:function ip_check_callback() { $data = array( 'remote_ip' => $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] ?? 'Null', 'x_forwarded_for' => $_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR'] ?? 'Null', 'proxy_remote_addr' => $_SERVER['PROXY_REMOTE_ADDR'] ?? 'Null' ); return rest_ensure_response($data); } function register_ip_check_route() { register_rest_route('lscwp', '/ip-check', array( 'methods' => 'GET', 'callback' => 'ip_check_callback' )); } add_action('rest_api_init', 'register_ip_check_route');
This creates a REST API endpoint for IP verification. Test it by visiting:
https://your_domain.com/?rest_route=/lscwp/ip-check
Expected Result:
{ "remote_ip": "79.xxx.xxx.183", "x_forwarded_for": "79.xxx.xxx.183, 176.xxx.xxx.157", "proxy_remote_addr": "176.xxx.xxx.157" }
remote_ip
should match your actual IP (verify at whatsmyip.org)- This confirms PHP detects the correct client IP
Problem Scenario:
{ "remote_ip": "176.xxx.xxx.157", "x_forwarded_for": "79.xxx.xxx.183, 176.xxx.xxx.157", "proxy_remote_addr": "176.xxx.xxx.157" }
If
remote_ip
doesn’t match your actual IP, your server isn’t properly forwarding client IPs. This typically occurs when using:- CloudFlare
- CDN services
- Reverse proxies
Solution: Contact your hosting provider to properly configure the client IP detection:
- For LSWS/OLS: Enable “Use client IP in header” in webadmin console
- For Apache: Install and configure
mod_remoteIP
- Other web servers: Implement corresponding client IP detection solution
Step 2: Check REST API Accessibility
If you receive 401, 403, or 404 errors:
- Your WP REST API may be disabled
- Common causes: Security plugins or optimization plugins
- Action: Re-enable WP REST API (required for plugin functionality)
Step 3: Advanced Troubleshooting
If steps 1 and 2 all check out
3.1 Submit Report
- Go to LiteSpeed Cache → Toolbox → Report
- Click “Send to LiteSpeed”
- Share the 8-character report number (e.g., “ABCDEFGH”) when you create topic
3.2 Enable Debug Logging
- Navigate to LiteSpeed Cache → Toolbox → Debug Settings
- Configure:
- Debug Log: ON
- Debug Level: Advanced
- Debug Include URI:
rest_route=/litespeed
- Clear existing logs (Toolbox → Log View)
- Our team will send test requests
- Share logs via Ubuntu Pastebin or similar service
If you have enabled debug log , please also mention it when you create topic
