如何在Wordpress 4.1.1中访问REST API

Question

I am using wordpress and according to the documentation here I download it, install it and activate it. However, it doesn't seem to be working when I go to

localhost/wp-json/posts

I get a 404

I think there may be a couple issues, one the official plugin site does not say it supports 4.1, however, some info suggests it may be included by default. Also I tried using the git repo and that didn't seem to work either.

What am I doing wrong?

UPDATE

I changed permalinks to post name and I uncommented mod_rewrite in my httpd.conf but no dice.

Answer 1

You need to be using pretty permalinks to use the plugin, as it uses custom rewrite rules to power the API.

Check your permalink settings and be sure to your web server support rewrite.
