 * The WordPress REST API must be enabled for WPML to work correctly.
 * The REST API test endpoint **[https://www.ukraqua.com/wp-json/wpml/v1/rest/status?test_get_parameter=1](https://www.ukraqua.com/wp-json/wpml/v1/rest/status?test_get_parameter=1)**
   is not responding correctly.
 * **Common causes:**
 * • A security or firewall plugin is blocking REST API requests
   • The REST API 
   has been disabled via the `rest_enabled` filter• Server configuration (Apache/
   Nginx) is interfering with query parameters• Custom rewrite rules are conflicting
   with WordPress routing
 * **Troubleshooting:** Try accessing [the test endpoint](https://www.ukraqua.com/wp-json/wpml/v1/rest/status?test_get_parameter=1)
   directly in your browser. It should return a JSON response with `"status":"valid"`
   and `"get_parameters":"valid"`.

 * Hi [@face2005](https://wordpress.org/support/users/face2005/)
 * Please temporarily rename the Wordfence plugin via FTP/SSH or your hosting control
   panel file manager. If you are not sure what to do your hosting provider may 
   be happy to help.
 * Find the Wordfence directory in the file path below and rename the Wordfence 
   directory as below:
 * **~/wp-content/plugins/wordfence-disabled**
 * If you have the same problem when Wordfence is fully disabled then Wordfence 
   can’t be involved.
 * You then need to rename the Wordfence directory again to reactivate Wordfence
   as below:
 * **~/wp-content/plugins/wordfence**
 * At this point you won’t see Wordfence in the WordPress menu. Click the WordPress**
   Dashboard **menu item and you will then see the Wordfence main menu item appear.
   However, you may need to reactivate Wordfence on the WordPress **Plugins **page
   first.
 * Let me know how it proceeds.
