Gives 404. Same url with no ""?"" string works fine." MostHated@… "Hello, I have been having this issue for quite some time (possibly years?) I just never had a good enough reason to dig much deeper into it, but now it is keeping me from being able to do something rather important. The issue I am facing is, seemingly no matter how I try to configure Nginx or Wordpress anytime I try to hit the Wordpress API (seen below) with Python's Requests Oauth package, WPAPI, oauthlib, Postman, etc I always end up getting back: {{{ /wp-json/wp/v2/users?s=something {""code"":""rest_no_route"",""message"":""No route was found matching the URL and request method"",""data"":{""status"":404}} }}} Though, if I hit any of the following without a query string, they are fine. {{{ /wp-json/wp/v2/users /wp-json/wp/v2/users/5 /wp-json/wp/v2/users/%s % id }}} I spent 2-3 days so far trying to find answer on forums, random configs someone might have uploaded to github, asking on several forums, etc. Not much luck. As I mentioned, currently the issue specifically is Wordpress, but I had ran into the issue a few times before over the years and it was under very similar terms, I just cannot remember precisely what framework or package, etc it was I was having issue with. I was very much hoping it might just be a configuration issue, but I have yet to find any out there that work. I have tried several variations of the following: {{{ try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?a=$uri; try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php$is_args$args; try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?q=$uri&$args; }}} but unfortunately none of those helped. I am using the standard Virtualmin install conditions for Nginx with: {{{ location ~ \.php$ { try_files $uri =404; fastcgi_pass unix:/var/php-nginx/15351288871711.sock/socket; } }}} The easiest way that I could find to replicate would be to use Virtualmin's LEMP stack and then add a domain and then install Wordpress from the included script installer. install the WP REST API - OAuth 1.0a Server plugin, and then just try to hit the API after making a successful Oauth connection, but that is a rather tall order for just trying to see the error. Everything I am using I believe is as up to date as it can be. At least I thought so until I looked just now. Nginx is showing 1.10.3 through the Virtualmin console. I just finished doing all pending updates that were available. If anyone has any insight or suggestions, please do throw them my way. I am eager to move forward with my project but unfortunately can't do much more without the ability to query the api.
