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

@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:)
