 * I have a clean installation of WordPress where I need an Albato automation working.
   This however is not working as looking at the request and response logs, I see
   that only `GET` and `POST` are allowed on the `/wp/v2/posts` endpoint.
 * Something is blocking or removing `OPTIONS` as an available method. Without this
   method being enabled, the automation simply won’t work. I understand that I can
   check the below.
    - Installed **plugins**
    - Active **themes**
    - Any **custom code** added to my WordPress installation
    - Internal **configuration settings**
    - Potential **restrictions on WordPress’s side**
    - The **way your WordPress site was built or structured**
 * No plugins are blocking this, and either the theme that is used – how can I check,
   validate and ensure the  `OPTIONS` method is available on a WordPress installation?

 * According to the documentation here [https://developer.wordpress.org/rest-api/reference/posts/](https://developer.wordpress.org/rest-api/reference/posts/),
   there are only GET, POST, and DELETE. No OPTIONS. Where do you see that there
   should be OPTIONS here? If so, it would probably have to be added via a plugin.
