Here is the result: – adding the filter directly (without hook) works – adding the filter inside `plugins_loaded` also works – adding the filter inside `init` **didn’t work** – that means, adding the filter after `init` hook will also not work. * Please check your code, did you add the filter inside `init` hook (or hooks after it)? If so, please change it by adding the filter directly. Or if you want to add it inside hook, please use `plugins_loaded` instead. * Please let me know if that works for you 🙂 * Thanks!

Or simply put it in your `functions.php` (if you use theme). After that, please also clear your cache if you use `GET` request. * Please let me know if that works.

I use to put the filter in the plugin. I’ll try this in the theme. Will get back here in minutes. * Thanks a lot for reporting, Bagus * Plugin Author [Bagus](https://wordpress.org/support/users/contactjavas/) * (@contactjavas) * [5 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/whitelisting-endpoints-function-do-not-work/#post-13056543) * Hi [@rozv](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rozv/) , i’ve tested (by moving the filter from plugin to theme’s functions.php) and it works both on parent & child theme. I need more info from you: * – What is the full url that is facing this issue? Is it simply this _site.com/ wp-json/test/_? – You simply put it in functions.php right? without putting it into any hook. (just to make sure) – Is it possible for you to provide demo site for me? Would be easier if i can check it directly. If possible, you can contact me at [contactjavas@gmail.com](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/whitelisting-endpoints-function-do-not-work/contactjavas@gmail.com?output_format=md) * Thanks, Bagus * Plugin Author [Bagus](https://wordpress.org/support/users/contactjavas/) * (@contactjavas) * [5 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/whitelisting-endpoints-function-do-not-work/#post-13056589) * Hi [@careerbuggy](https://wordpress.org/support/users/careerbuggy/) , [@giriposhaneshwar](https://wordpress.org/support/users/giriposhaneshwar/), and [@rozv](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rozv/) In case you need faster response, here’s [Discord invite link](https://discord.gg/SHj5GA). * With discord, i’m always notified. * Plugin Author [Bagus](https://wordpress.org/support/users/contactjavas/) * (@contactjavas) * [5 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/whitelisting-endpoints-function-do-not-work/#post-13059233) * Hi [@careerbuggy](https://wordpress.org/support/users/careerbuggy/) & [@rozv](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rozv/), In case you’re still facing this problem, here is the fix: 1. Make sure the filter is added directly without hook 2. If you’re adding the filter through theme (like in functions.php), and doing step above still doesn’t work, then you need move the filter from theme to a plugin. Maybe create a 1 file plugin which contains the filter? * Please let me know if that works. Or maybe [Join discord channel](https://discord.gg/SHj5GA) for faster response. * Best, Bagus * [rozv](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rozv/) * (@rozv) * [5 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/whitelisting-endpoints-function-do-not-work/#post-13061190) * [@contactjavas](https://wordpress.org/support/users/contactjavas/) thank you for all your help! after trying different things, it worked as a separate plugin. thanks!
