 * Hello, I got a message:
 * > **The Rest API encountered an error**
   > The REST API is one way that WordPress and other applications communicate with
   > the server. For example, the block editor screen relies on the REST API to 
   > display and save your posts and pages.
   > When testing the REST API, an error was encountered:
   > REST API Endpoint: [https://mydomain.com/wp-json/wp/v2/types/post?context=edit](https://mydomain.com/wp-json/wp/v2/types/post?context=edit)
   > REST API Response: (http_request_failed) cURL error 28: Operation timed out
   > after 10015 milliseconds with 0 bytes received
 * Everything in default mode (theme, settings), no third-party plugins, theme.
 * Please help me and thank you so much.

 * Can you try navigating to Settings>Permalinks and changing the link structure
   from PLAIN to any of the other options, for example POST NAME and check if that
   helps?
