Hi I am trying to make a connection with Wordpress to run an automation (when new Wordpress post->post it on Facebook), but I am getting an error when making connection with Wordpress:
I installed a Make plugin in Wordpress, copied API key to Make and set up a Wordpress REST API base url as domain.com/wp-json/wp/v2/
Looks like authentication is correct, but after few seconds I got an error with 404 error as on screen attached.
Can you help me how to solve that issue? Should I use different rest API base url?
Welcome to the Make community!
A 404 error means the resource could not be reached. Did you test the URL?
What Rest API base URL did you use?

I am using https://domain.com/wp-json/wp/v2/
How can I test if URL is working? My browser return a response so I assume URL is working, but Make shows 404 error.
Your URL is wrong.
Please follow the format provided below the field when creating a connection:
(see how it ends with .../wp-json/)

URL like this: domain.com/wp-json/ return 406 error as on attached screen.
How to solve this issue?
Disable all Wordpress plugins, and enable one at a time to see which ones are causing the conflict/blocking of incoming requests.
It is likely a security plugin (like “Wordfence”) or server setting (like “mod_security”) is causing this.

Changing settings of ‘mod-security’ solved that issue. Thanks
No problem, glad I could help!
If you want to learn more about Make, you can read up in the Help Center. I also recommend doing the tutorials in the Make Academy, and learn advanced skills like how to make custom apps to any API in the Make Partner Training Portal - both have certificates for successful completion.

Hi, would you mind sharing what settings you changed? We have a similar issue and this might help.
I have added a manual exception in mod_security settings and my hosting provider help me do it.
