### Website URL

[https://rip-deadinside.infinityfree.me](https://rip-deadinside.infinityfree.me)

### Error Message

WPVibe cannot connect to my WordPress REST API.

My WordPress site is:  
[https://rip-deadinside.infinityfree.me](https://rip-deadinside.infinityfree.me)

The WordPress REST API works in my browser and returns JSON when I open:  
[https://rip-deadinside.infinityfree.me/?rest\_route=/](https://rip-deadinside.infinityfree.me/?rest_route=/)

However, WPVibe reports:  
“Couldn’t reach the WordPress REST API … REST API returned non-JSON even after a cache-busted retry (likely an HTML page).”

Please check whether InfinityFree’s firewall, ModSecurity, or another server-level security rule is blocking requests from WPVibe.

The WPVibe endpoints that need to be accessible are:  
/wp-json/wpvibe/v1/  
/?rest\_route=/wpvibe/v1/

Please let me know if WPVibe needs to be allowlisted or if there is another InfinityFree restriction causing this.
