This includes the WordPress block editor, which uses the API to send update and publish requests to WordPress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Why WordPress is Unable to use REST API?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now you might be wondering, that if I didn\u2019t make any changes to my website, then why did the REST API stop working on its own?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are a number of scenarios that may prevent WordPress from using the REST API. For example, you may not be connected to the internet or have lost connectivity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Other reasons may be a little more complicated. For instance, you may have accidentally changed the site URL, a WordPress plugin may be causing the issue, or a third-party service may be blocking the API calls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That being said, let\u2019s take a look at how to troubleshoot and fix the WordPress updating failed error.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_1_Check_Your_Internet_Connection_and_Site_URL\"><\/span>Step 1. Check Your Internet Connection and Site URL<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The most common cause for updating failed error in WordPress is losing the WiFi connection. If your computer loses the internet connection as you are writing a blog post, then WordPress will fail to save your changes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Make sure you are connected to the internet by visiting other websites in a new browser tab.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If your internet is working fine, then the next thing you would want to check is your WordPress site URL setting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Simply go to <strong>Settings \u00bb General<\/strong> page and make sure that the Site Address and WordPress Address options are correct. For most websites, you should have the same URLs in both fields.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn2.wpbeginner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/siteurl.png\" alt=\"WordPress site URL setting\" class=\"wp-image-84153\" title=\"WordPress site URL setting\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>If your site URL settings look ok, and you are connected to the internet, then you can move on to further troubleshooting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_2_Check_REST_API_Status_Using_WordPress_Site_Health\"><\/span>Step 2. Check REST API Status Using WordPress Site Health<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>WordPress comes with a built-in site health tool, which shows important information about your site\u2019s security and performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Simply go to the <strong>Tools \u00bb Site Health<\/strong> page to view the report. If REST API is not working, then you will see it under recommended improvements as <em>\u2018The REST API encountered an unexpected result\u2019<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn4.wpbeginner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/restapistatus-sitehealth.png\" alt=\"REST API error in WordPress Site Health\" class=\"wp-image-83994\" title=\"REST API error in WordPress Site Health\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>It may also show you some debugging information which may explain what happened when WordPress made the REST API call. Studying this may give you some clue on which plugin or third party service may be causing the issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, if it doesn\u2019t give you any clue, then you can move on to the next step.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_3_Disable_All_Your_WordPress_Plugins\"><\/span>Step 3. Disable All Your WordPress Plugins<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>If a WordPress plugin is causing the REST API to misbehave, then the easiest way to find it out is by deactivating all your WordPress plugins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can go to the <strong>Plugins \u00bb Installed Plugins<\/strong> page and check the box to select all plugins. After that, use the Bulk Actions drop down to deactivate all plugins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn3.wpbeginner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/deactivateallplugins.png\" alt=\"Deactivate all WordPress plugins\" class=\"wp-image-83996\" title=\"Deactivate all WordPress plugins\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>After that, you can go to the post edit screen and try to update. If the Updating Failed error disappears, then this means that one of your plugins was causing the issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can now start activating your WordPress plugins one at a time and try to reproduce the error. Once you find the plugin causing the issue, you can seek support from plugin author or find an alternative plugin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the other hand, if disabling all WordPress plugins didn\u2019t make the error go away, then continue to the next step.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_4_Enable_and_Review_WordPress_Debug_Log\"><\/span>Step 4. Enable and Review WordPress Debug Log<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>WordPress comes with built-in feature to keep a log of all WordPress errors. It does not log the REST API errors, but it will help you see if there are some other issues that may be causing the error.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Simply add the following lines to your wp-config.php file.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td>1234567<\/td><td><code>\/\/ Change WP_DEBUG to true<\/code>&nbsp;<code>define( <\/code><code>'WP_DEBUG'<\/code><code>, true );<\/code>&nbsp;<code>\/\/ Keep a log of WordPress errors<\/code>&nbsp;<code>define( <\/code><code>'WP_DEBUG_LOG'<\/code><code>, true );<\/code><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Don\u2019t forget to save your changes and upload the file back to your server. You can now try to publish or update a post in WordPress to reproduce the error.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After that, you can connect to your WordPress hosting account using an FTP client and go to \/wp-content\/ folder. From here, you can download the debug.log file to your computer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.wpbeginner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/debuglog.png\" alt=\"Debug log file in WordPress\" class=\"wp-image-84161\" title=\"Debug log file in WordPress\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>You can open the debug file in a plain text editor like Notepad. It may contain a few errors, warnings, or notices caught by WordPress as you worked on your site or a user visited it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn4.wpbeginner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/deublog-preview.jpg\" alt=\"Debug log file showing PHP errors in WordPress\" class=\"wp-image-84162\" title=\"Debug log file showing PHP errors in WordPress\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>If you see something that points you to a plugin or theme file, then this can be a useful hint. You can then mention this error when asking for support on WordPress.org forums or from your hosting provider.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_6_Temporarily_Switch_to_the_Classic_WordPress_Editor\"><\/span>Step 6. Temporarily Switch to the Classic WordPress Editor<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>A temporary solution to this error is to enable the classic editor. It is the old WordPress editor that does not rely on REST API to update and publish content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can enable it by simply installing and activating the <a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/classic-editor\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Classic Editor<\/a> plugin. For more details, see our step by step guide on how to enable the classic editor in WordPress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Upon activation, you can simply edit the post you were working on. You would be able to save and publish it without seeing the updating failed or publishing failed error in WordPress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn4.wpbeginner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/classiceditor.png\" alt=\"Classic editor\" class=\"wp-image-84163\" title=\"Classic editor\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Final_Step_Ask_for_Support\"><\/span>Final Step: Ask for Support<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>If all else fails, then you may need to ask for support. You can start by directly contacting your hosting provider. They do have access to server logs and additional tools. It could also be caused by a misconfigured server or glitch at their end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can also seek help on WordPress.org forums where other experts and users can help you fix the error.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Are you trying to fix the WordPress updating failed or publishing failed error on your website?
