 * When I disable the REST API Site-Health says “The REST API encountered an unexpected
   result”:
 *     ```wp-block-code
       When testing the REST API, an unexpected result was returned:REST API Endpoint: https://my-domain.tld/wp-json/wp/v2/types/post?context=editREST API Response: (403) Forbidden
       ```
   
 * and I can’t edit posts.
