Title: Solid Security can’t setup Last modified: January 16, 2024 --- # Solid Security can’t setup * Resolved [lukasmainka](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lukasmainka/) * (@lukasmainka) * [2 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/solid-security-cant-setup/) * Hi, * I tried to install iThemes Security, which now is Solid Security. I can’t get further in the setup process then step 1 after selecting the type of the site. * I opened the console and saw this: * ```wp-block-code /wp-json/ithemes-security/v1/admin-notices/welcome-solidwp/dismiss/?_locale=user:1 Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 () ``` * Other wp-json endpoints are working. Does someone have an idea?

I see you’re having issues installing Solid Security on your site. Does it help if you deactivate the plugin and re-activate it? If not, I’d suggest verifying that all the REST HTTP methods the plugin needs are allowed on your server: `GET, POST, PUT, PATCH, DELETE, and OPTIONS`. Once confirmed, resave your WP Permalinks settings. If you’re on an Apache server, double-check that**` mod_rewrite`** is supported. If you’re using NGINX server, make sure the appropriate rewrite rule for permalinks is added (check this [guide](https://developer.wordpress.org/advanced-administration/server/web-server/nginx/)). Try also to clear all sorts of cache, preferably in this manner: _server cache- > CDN cache (if you use it) -> plugin cache -> browser cache_.Then, re-install a freshly downloaded copy of Solid Security Basic to see if it works this time. * Hope this helps, and let us know how it goes. * Thread Starter [lukasmainka](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lukasmainka/) * (@lukasmainka) * [2 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/solid-security-cant-setup/#post-17356322) * Reactivating doesn’t work. Tried that a few times. mod_rewrite seems to work because I get pretty URLs. * REST HTTP works for all REST-Routes but for solid security. I got an error in the console when I try to config solid security in the dashboard. When I try to get to the endpoint I get: * ```wp-block-code // https://ptk-hessen.de/wp-json/ithemes-security/rpc/global/detect-ip/?_locale=user { "code": "rest_no_route", "message": "Es wurde keine Route gefunden, die mit der URL und der Request-Methode identisch ist.", "data": { "status": 404 } } ``` * There’s no route for Plugin Root [https://ptk-hessen.de/wp-json/ithemes-security/](https://ptk-hessen.de/wp-json/ithemes-security/). This is a really unusual behaviour * [nlpro](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nlpro/) * (@nlpro) * [2 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/solid-security-cant-setup/#post-17356665) * Hi [@lukasmainka](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lukasmainka/), * The SolSec plugin adds 2 namespaces to the REST API: - ithemes-security/rpc ([https://ptk-hessen.de/wp-json/ithemes-security/rpc](https://ptk-hessen.de/wp-json/ithemes-security/rpc)) - ithemes-security/v1 ([https://ptk-hessen.de/wp-json/ithemes-security/v1](https://ptk-hessen.de/wp-json/ithemes-security/v1)) * Additionally I can confirm that a POST request to: * ```wp-block-code https://ptk-hessen.de/wp-json/ithemes-security/rpc/global/detect-ip/?_locale=user ``` * results in a 404. When accessing the same route in my test env I get: * > {     > “code”: “rest_missing_callback_param”, >     “message”: “Missing parameter(s): proxy”, >     “data”: { >         “status”: 400, >         “params”: [ >             “proxy” >         ] >     } > } * So it seems something in your env is not allowing the POST request. You may need to contact your hosting provider to fix this. - This reply was modified 2 years, 4 months ago by [nlpro](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nlpro/). - This reply was modified 2 years, 4 months ago by [nlpro](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nlpro/). * Plugin Support [chandelierrr](https://wordpress.org/support/users/shanedelierrr/) * (@shanedelierrr) * [2 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/solid-security-cant-setup/#post-17371660) * Hi [@lukasmainka](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lukasmainka/), I hope the reply from [@nlpro](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nlpro/) helped resolve the issue with the Solid Security setup on your site. * To add, please make sure that your server **allows all the REST HTTP methods**:` GET, POST, PUT, PATCH, DELETE, and OPTIONS`.
