Can you confirm if you can access the site now? If you had multiple failed login attempts that would lead to a lockout; you can check what triggered the lockout by going to **Security > Logs**. * Regarding the JSON error, it might be related to a REST API problem. Solid Security requires access to the REST API to work properly. Please contact your hosting provider and ask them to **enable** all the REST HTTP request methods on your server: `GET`, `POST`, `PUT`, `PATCH`, `DELETE`, and `OPTIONS`. * After ensuring that your server allows all the REST HTTP request methods, try saving the plugin settings again to see if the error is resolved. * Let us know what you can find. * Thread Starter [TheNoxx](https://wordpress.org/support/users/thenoxx/) * (@thenoxx) * [1 year, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/sjon-error/#post-17852954) * L.S.. * Thank you for your response * The strange thing is that i have another website with this provider and better- security plugin installed with no problems * ![](https://i0.wp.com/fcoptiekgoirle.nl/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/FcOptiek-Errors- 300x277.jpg?resize=300%2C277&ssl=1) * As you can see there are more errors and I have know idea how to solve this * Kind regards, * TheNoxx * [nlpro](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nlpro/) * (@nlpro) * [1 year, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/sjon-error/#post-17853232) * Hi [@thenoxx](https://wordpress.org/support/users/thenoxx/), Since your posted screenshot is too blurry to read (and also translated in Dutch) could you please provide the missing details indicated by the 2 question marks (?) below? * **The REST API encountered an unexpected result** (Performance) 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 unexpected result was returned: * REST API Endpoint: ? * REST API Response: ? * Perhaps it’s best to temporarily switch WordPress to language **English (United States)**, then recreate the Site Health screenshot (with a higher resolution) and post that into this topic. * +++ To prevent any confusion, I’m not SolidWP +++ - This reply was modified 1 year, 11 months ago by [nlpro](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nlpro/). - This reply was modified 1 year, 11 months ago by [nlpro](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nlpro/). - This reply was modified 1 year, 11 months ago by [nlpro](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nlpro/). * Thread Starter [TheNoxx](https://wordpress.org/support/users/thenoxx/) * (@thenoxx) * [1 year, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/sjon-error/#post-17853421) * Hi NLPro * Thank you for you response * Sorry for the inconvenience ; I’m a fool on the hill * REST API Endpoint: [https://fcoptiekgopirle.nl/wp-sjon/wp/v2/types/post/context=edit](https://fcoptiekgopirle.nl/wp-sjon/wp/v2/types/post/context=edit) * REST API Response: (403) Forbidden * Kind regards, * TheNoxx * [nlpro](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nlpro/) * (@nlpro) * [1 year, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/sjon-error/#post-17853499) * Hi [@thenoxx](https://wordpress.org/support/users/thenoxx/), * No worries, we all make mistakes (live & learn) 😉 * After correcting the 2 typos in the endpoint url and then trying it out I got the following result: * > {“code”:”itsec_rest_api_access_restricted”,”message”:”Je hebt onvoldoende rechten > om dit endpoint te benaderen. Toegang tot REST API aanvragen is beperkt door > Solid Security instellingen.”,”data”:{“status”:401}} * This means this particular REST API endpoint is restricted by the Solid Security plugin API Access -> **REST API** setting (Restricted Access). * ( Full navigation path: Security > Settings > Advanced > WordPress Tweaks). * Strangely on my test site I have the same plugin setting but no REST API recommended improvement in the Site Health page. * I did swap out your domain for my domain. Basically tested the same endpoint on my test site and I got exactly the same message (at least that is consistent). * You might try (if possible) and set the **REST API** setting to Default Access. Would be interesting to see whether this removes the REST API recommended improvement entry in the Site Health page. * [nlpro](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nlpro/) * (@nlpro) * [1 year, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/sjon-error/#post-17855568) * Hi [@thenoxx](https://wordpress.org/support/users/thenoxx/), * Further testing allowed me to reproduce the Site Health REST API recommended improvements entry. * Turns out it is **not** caused by the Solid Security **REST API** setting (which in a way makes sense). In fact it’s not caused by the Solid Security plugin at all! * The true cause is that the user you are logged in with when accessing the Site Health page does not have a role assigned that includes the **edit_posts** (possibly other capabilities) capability. * All I needed to do is (temporarily) remove the **edit_posts** capability from the (WordPress core) administrator role. Log into the WordPress Dashboard as a user which has the administrator role assigned and then navigate to the Site Health page. * Adding the **edit_posts** capability back to the (WordPress core) administrator role cleared the Site Health REST API recommended improvements entry instantly 😉 * Thread Starter [TheNoxx](https://wordpress.org/support/users/thenoxx/) * (@thenoxx) * [1 year, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/sjon-error/#post-17859789) * To [@nlpro](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nlpro/) * Thank you for your response, sorry I responded not sooner but this weeksnd is/ was the dutch TT in Assen. And I am a Motogp fanatic * Strange solution because I was logged in as administrator en checked the health page. * It is possible because anyher user has administror rights and always write the posts information for all users. * I will try your solution en let you know if it works. * Kind regards, * TheNoxx * [nlpro](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nlpro/) * (@nlpro) * [1 year, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/sjon-error/#post-17859868) * Hi [@thenoxx](https://wordpress.org/support/users/thenoxx/), * Ah right, it definately was a busy sportsweekend (EK soccer, Tour de France, Formula 1, TT etc). Phew, I’m more tired now than at the start of the weekend 😉 * If the user has the administrator role assigned then it’s always possible that the edit_posts capability is (dynamically) removed for that user at WordPress init when logging in. Another possibility is that this user has a custom administrator role assigned which does not include the edit_posts capability. Are there any custom roles defined or is there any roles management plugin installed? * WordPress by default only uses the following 5 roles: - administrator (beheerder) - editor (redacteur) - author (auteur) - contributor (bijdrager) - subscriber (abonnee) * By default only the **subscriber** role does **not** include the **edit_posts** capability. * Interested to hear what you can find. - This reply was modified 1 year, 11 months ago by [nlpro](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nlpro/). - This reply was modified 1 year, 11 months ago by [nlpro](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nlpro/). * [nlpro](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nlpro/) * (@nlpro) * [1 year, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/sjon-error/#post-18085504) * Hi @thenoxx, * If you require no further assistance, please mark this topic as ‘Resolved’. * +++ To prevent any confusion, I’m not SolidWP +++ * Thread Starter [TheNoxx](https://wordpress.org/support/users/thenoxx/) * (@thenoxx) * [1 year, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/sjon-error/#post-18085602) * Thanks for the response from you all👍👍 * Greetings * TheNoxx Viewing 10 replies - 1 through 10 (of 10 total) The topic ‘SJON error’ is closed to new replies. * ![](https://ps.w.org/better-wp-security/assets/icon.svg?rev=3529351) * [Kadence Security – Password, Two Factor Authentication, and Brute Force Protection](https://wordpress.org/plugins/better-wp-security/) * [Frequently Asked Questions](https://wordpress.org/plugins/better-wp-security/#faq) * [Support Threads](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/better-wp-security/) * [Active Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/better-wp-security/active/) * [Unresolved Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/better-wp-security/unresolved/) * [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/better-wp-security/reviews/) * 10 replies * 3 participants * Last reply from: [TheNoxx](https://wordpress.org/support/users/thenoxx/) * Last activity: [1 year, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/sjon-error/#post-18085602) * Status: resolved
