As your webpage seems to load perfectly fine when the link is followed. * The error indicates that a part of WordPress is missing. To fix this I would recommend you either load a backup of your site or backup your site and reinstall WordPress. * If you are operating under a host then I would suggest you also take this up with them. * Hope this helps! * Thread Starter [Mukta Chowdhary](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mukta1991/) * (@mukta1991) * [3 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/getting-error-wp_rest_controller-not-found/#post-15897721) * I tried to reinstall wordpress even then error was not fixed and i am getting error on all domains of that server * [https://sportmanagementhub.com/wp-includes/rest-api/endpoints/class-wp-rest-block-renderer-controller.php](https://sportmanagementhub.com/wp-includes/rest-api/endpoints/class-wp-rest-block-renderer-controller.php) [https://collegeofsportmanagement.com/wp-includes/rest-api/endpoints/class-wp-rest-block-renderer-controller.php](https://collegeofsportmanagement.com/wp-includes/rest-api/endpoints/class-wp-rest-block-renderer-controller.php) [https://jobs.sportmanagementhub.com/wp-includes/rest-api/endpoints/class-wp-rest-block-renderer-controller.php](https://jobs.sportmanagementhub.com/wp-includes/rest-api/endpoints/class-wp-rest-block-renderer-controller.php) * [whoudini](https://wordpress.org/support/users/whoudini/) * (@whoudini) * [3 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/getting-error-wp_rest_controller-not-found/#post-15897805) * Hi, * Do you get this error when you try to simply go to the webpage? * Thanks. * Thread Starter [Mukta Chowdhary](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mukta1991/) * (@mukta1991) * [3 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/getting-error-wp_rest_controller-not-found/#post-15898153) * no only on that page and on google console [https://prnt.sc/231wnMPAE-WY](https://prnt.sc/231wnMPAE-WY) * [whoudini](https://wordpress.org/support/users/whoudini/) * (@whoudini) * [3 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/getting-error-wp_rest_controller-not-found/#post-15898599) * Hi there, * I have tried going to the same location on other WordPress sites to the PHP file you have linked to. I get the exact same error you are having on your website. * This leads me to believe this error is normal and this link is not meant to be accessed in a browser.
