Thank you for the simple example. Can you post your youtube video link on the comment, please?

@kingkarki Sure, it's here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C2twS9ArdCI

Thank you for your code.
It solve many problems.
I'm looking how display categories in posts.
I'm trying adding this but it didn't work "$data[$i]['categories'] = $post->post_categories;"
I suppose because categories is an array...(?)
Also could you propose me how remove some tags (like ' ) from content?
Thank you in advance.

I can not find the Custom API plugin in wordpress plugins, from where i can download it?

@jassim9797

Did you watch the video? There is no Custom API plugin. You create it yourself.

When i call a ACF field in this its show result as "url": null
$data[$i]['url'] = get_field( "url", $post->ID );

@banna360 Are you sure it should just be url? Check the API response. Maybe it's something like $data[$i]['acf_fields']['url'] or something like that. I think ACF would wrap it's fields inside another array. Not 100% sure, but you can test it out.

Thank you for this code,
I want to send push notification to the mobile app when I publish (Custom post type) POST in WordPress,
I have Java spring Rest API that sends a notification, I want to integrate it with the custom post, How can I do this can you guide me?

Thank you

@hamzu06 I have no idea man, sorry.

Thank You @ivandoric, my issue is resolved.

Thank You @ivandoric

@theahmedoff No problem! :)

custom post type shows field values on all posts url but shows null values on single post url.

Hey I wanna thank you for this snippet. It really helped me man.
I would want to ask you if there is a way to have an offset or a pagination inside the rest-api ? I want to add another filter like "?page=1,2,3" etc
Thank you.

Hi,
I tried the way you coded the endpoint, but for some reason my endpoint is not working.
When I go to the endpoints I'm directed towards the homepage of the site.
Can you help? Thanks in advance

Pastebin: https://pastebin.com/LeeEnMvb

@Esiarp Maybe you need to change the permalinks in WP admin. To use something like /postname/ instead of /?p=123

@ivandoric That was exactly the issue! I changed it to "Day and name" and works perfectly. Thank you!

@ivandoric First of all thank you to share this content for us. But, I have some problems at this code. I don't know where can I find the endpoints for the wordpress article. For example I want to get post category but I don't know the endpoint for category like get_the_post_thumbnail_url. Please help us.
Thank you for code again

does simply running the code add it as a plug in? that is the part I cannot figure out still lol

can i use ?slug= or /id like>> http://site/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/id or ?slug= with this plugin ? No . and why i cant:)
