 * I have a potential conflict with The Events Calendar Pro. I reached out to them
   and they told me they believe something is blocking the REST API, which is why
   my calendar will not progress. In testing I found a potential conflict with Force
   Login. I recorded this video to show you what I’m seeing and to see if you had
   any thoughts.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fblocking-rest-api%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Hi, thanks for using Force Login!
 * Force Login uses the [rest_authentication_errors](https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/hooks/rest_authentication_errors/)
   filter to check for REST API authentication. If no authentication is used, it
   blocks the request.
 * You can either disable our filter function or hook into it yourself to allow 
   the specific endpoint to be accessed without authentication.
 * Check out this related support thread:
