This (see quote below) is still very much a part of my every day reality. I seek an update. Please advise…
"The REST API is one way WordPress, and other applications, communicate with the server. One example is the block editor screen, which relies on this to display, and save, your posts and pages.

Hi @kadso - I’m afraid at this time we don’t have an update to share yet on this issue. Thank you again for your patience on this.
Thank you Michael.
Anyone care to weigh in here an guide this non-programer where to look to find others where sooner rather than later timing is the working premise?
Hi Michael,
I’m still getting the two error messages below. What is the latest on resolving this topic?

- Loopback requests are used to run scheduled events, and are also used by the built-in editors for themes and plugins to verify code stability.
The loopback request to your site failed, this means features relying on them are not currently working as expected.

Thank Michael. Can you loop me into what is the hold up?
@kadso I don’t have further information to share at the moment but will share here as soon as we do. Apologies again for the trouble.

Thanks

I’m having the same issues. hope to have some update soon
Having the same issue. It has been almost 10 months since this was first reported – and still no solution? I am a bit worried about what problems this might cause for the sites. Would love some more information.
I’m sorry for the wait here. It depends exactly on the functionality of the site here, but in most cases it shouldn’t cause any major issues here. The error relates to making requests to itself.
Yes, the error relates to making requests to itself, which means any attempts to connect to any (custom) API endpoint will fail. So, it’s defintely a major issue.
I’m getting these messages in Site Health:
Unfortunately these prevent me from continuing my projects using DevKinsta, because I can’t connect to any of the APIs I created. (And they work fine in DevilBox – which is also a dockerized solution for creating local environments)
I’m curious, since I’m on Windows 10 Pro, and @slaFFik is also on Windows 10 Pro, is it a W10P specific issue?
Edit: it seems to be a specific issue for WordPress running in a Docker instance, I found these links. Maybe it’s a good idea to pass them on to your devs:

HI everyone, I just want to report that DevKinsta v 2.6.0 has been released and addresses this issue! Please let us know if it is still occurring even after an update!
Hi @dgilfillan, your issue appears to be unique. Can you please create a brand new bug report so that we can help you individually? You error implies there’s something wrong with the https/443 port for your site.
Hi Kevin!
Cool to hear that! I’ll give DevKinsta another try soon!
