I want to create a URL to an activation page in Wordpress. But I don't want to create a page for it with a shortcode. So it must be a dynamic page.
I'm currently trying to see if I can do it with a REST API. And so far activation has been successful. I have created a REST route and I get the activation code (which is part of the link) as a variable. But I cannot show a page with a message that the activation was successful, not within the chosen theme. All HTML I send to the browser is displayed on a black page, without the theme.
I'm starting to wonder if I'm on the right path, or is the REST API intended for something else?
This is what I have so far:
$this->loader->add_action( 'rest_api_init', $plugin_public, 'course_add_enpoint');
public function course_add_enpoint(){
register_rest_route('course_manager/v1', 'activation/(?P<id>[A-Za-z0-9]+(_[A-Za-z0-9]+)+)', array(
'methods' => 'GET',
'callback' => array ($this, 'course_activation'),
));
}
public function course_activation( $data ){
returns HTML code
}
So far the activation works, but the page with HTML code is not the same as a page with the layout of the theme. Can someone point me in the right direction, am I working with the REST API or should I look elsewhere?
