 * Can’t fix it regardless of what I try provided by the plugin. I get this message:

 * Looks like this is happening to a few people. I’m using Avada for a theme, iThemes
   Security, LightSpeed for caching, and Cloudflare.

 * This is usually because something you have installed on your site is blocking
   the REST API. You could try changing the option in the error message to see if
   that helps

 * We use iThemes security and use their recommended settings on ALL of our sites.
   This one is the only one that we’re having issues with. The one that sets this
   one apart is that it uses the Avada theme. There’s very little difference in 
   any other way.

 * OK, so I went for broke and since I only had a handful of redirects in place 
   I switched the plugin option for the REST API to Form Request, opened the redirects
   page to keep that on screen, opened the plugins menu in a new tab, deleted the
   plugin, wiped the dbs, reinstalled and it worked fine. I then went back in and
   added the handful of redirects in manually.
 * This is certainly not an optimal solution by any means so I got lucky that I 
   only had a few to do. I wouldn’t want to export these and try to import them 
   for fear that the problem lied in that table.
 * Something must have become corrupted. It may be an Avada patch, it may not. It
   may have nothing to do with Avada. I am not sure but it’s working now and worth
   keeping an eye on for future development.
 * Thanks for the helpful insights and the great plugin. I use it on every site 
   we manage/build.
