 * Hi elenasaygo,
 * Thanks for reaching out. I am curious if there is a conflict with the older WP
   version. I will work on testing now.
 * In the meantime, if you are able to provide any additional details about the 
   other plugins you are using on your site that could be useful. There is a chance
   there is a conflict with another third-party plugin.
 * Thanks, and stay tuned!
 * Nick

 * Just tested with WordPress 5.5.3 and PHP 7.3 on a fresh WP install and am unfortunately
   unable to replicate.
 * If you are able to provide the other plugins that you are using, I will dig into
   testing if there is a conflict.
 * Thanks for your help!

 * Hi Nick,
 * Thank you for testing and for the fast response.
    I have Charitable and a bunch
   of its addons installed, Fluent Forms, Site Kit by Google, PayPal Donation, and
   UpdraftPlus. I would deactivate them to test, but it’s a production site. I will
   set up a staging and do that

 * Thanks I appreciate the help! I did a cursory install of all the plugins you 
   mentioned on the test site. Of course I haven’t set them all up completely, but
   they are activated and still I am not seeing any issues.
 * I took a quick look at `https://washingtonautismalliance.org/wp-json` and I am
   seeing the available endpoints as:
 *     ```
       "namespaces": [
           "oembed/1.0",
           "oxygen-vsb-connection/v1",
           "rankmath/v1",
           "wp-super-cache/v1",
           "wpf-send-email-report",
           "wpf_api",
           "rankmath/v1/an",
           "wp/v2"
       ],
       ```
   
 * With Block Visibility installed, you should also see `"block-visibility/v1",`
   in that list. I have a sneaky suspicion the issue might be related to WP Super
   Cache, but I need to investigate further.
 * Sorry about the trouble!!!

 * Nick,
 * The install I have Block Visibility on is actually in a folder, on [https://washingtonautismalliance.org/give/](https://washingtonautismalliance.org/give/)
   and WP Super Cache is not installed there. Maybe the issue is with the path, 
   looking for the block-visibility/v1 in the root directory which is a different
   WP install.
 * I actually set up staging on a subdomain and there is no issue with the Block
   Visibility’s settings, with the same setup and plugins.

 * Thanks for the additional info. Just to confirm, Block Visibility is working 
   on the staging site, right?
 * After a bit more research, I believe the issue is the fact that the plugin is
   placed in the folder. That said, I am seeing that Charitable also appears to 
   be installed there and their API is working. I am going to dig into their API
   code and see if I can figure out what they are doing differently in registering
   their API.
 * Thanks!

 * thank you for investigating, Yes, on the staging which is on a subdomain like
   staging.domain the plugin is working fine.

 * Good evening, just wanted to provide a quick update. I was able to replicate 
   the issue by setting up a testing site with WordPress in a subdirectory. I’ll
   have a fix soon and will push a fresh release by tomorrow. I will followup once
   it is live. I appreciate your help in solving this one!

 * Hi Elena,
 * I just pushed version 1.5.1, which should resolve the issue. I did a bunch of
   testing on WordPress installs in subdirectories and everything seems to be running
   smoothly now.
 * Whenever you have a chance, please give it a try and let me know. Thanks for 
   your help!
 * Best,
    Nick
