I've been trying for a full day to get a really basic install of the WP-API to answer to a custom post type (in this case called 'transactions').

The post type is set up and fully public, and it's existence is acknowledged by querying example.com/wp-json/posts/types/transactions.

I'm getting the expected response from example.com/wp-json/posts?type=page but a 403 when trying to access example.com/wp-json/posts?type=transactions.

I really can't think of anything else to try! If anyone has any advice I'd really appreciate it. I'm running the site on nginx, PHP v5.4 if it makes any difference.

    @cybmeta The question is regarding the WP REST API, a "feature plugin" to bring a JSON-based REST API to WordPress core.

  • In version 1.1 of the JSON REST API custom post type endpoints have to be registered manually. wp-api.org/guides/extending.html#registering-your-endpoints Improving this process is one of the enhancements we are making to the upcoming release of the plugin.

  • @RachelBaker many thanks for this! Have seen so much conflicting information with examples that made it look like I was really missing something simple. Much appreciated.

In version 1.1 of the JSON REST API custom post type endpoints have to be registered manually. See: http://wp-api.org/guides/extending.html#registering-your-endpoints

In version 2.0 we register endpoints for any custom post types registered with the show_in_rest property set to true. Documentation on how to do this: http://v2.wp-api.org/extending/custom-content-types/#registering-a-custom-post-type-with-rest-api-support
