Author Name and Avatar in REST API Posts
Adds an author_details field with the author's display name, profile link and avatar URL to every post in the REST API, saving apps a second request or a heavy _embed call.
Snippet Library
Developer snippets for WordPress
Snippets for developers: debugging helpers, custom cron schedules, body classes, REST API tweaks and admin tools for checking hooks and queries. Building blocks for people who write code for WordPress every day.
Example Custom REST API Endpoint
Registers a read-only endpoint at /wp-json/wpide/v1/latest that returns your latest posts in a compact format, as a starting point for your own API routes.
Featured Image URL in the REST API
Adds a featured_image_url field to posts and pages in REST API responses, so headless front ends do not need a second request.
Filter REST API Results by Allowed Custom Fields
Lets REST API requests filter posts by custom fields you allow, e.g. /wp-json/wp/v2/posts?meta_key=location&meta_value=paris, for apps and headless front ends.
Image Sizes REST Endpoint for Headless Front Ends
Adds a public /wp-json/site/v1/image-sizes endpoint listing every registered image size with its width, height and crop setting, so headless front ends can pick the right size for each layout.
Limit REST API CORS to Your Own Apps
Replaces WordPress's permissive cross-origin (CORS) headers with an allow-list, so only the browser apps you name, such as a headless front end, can call the REST API with credentials.
Navigation Menus as a REST API Endpoint
Adds a public /wp-json/site/v1/menu/{location} endpoint that returns the menu assigned to a theme location as a nested list, ready for a headless or app front end.
Previous and Next Post Links in the REST API
Adds a navigation field to single posts in the REST API with the ID, title and link of the previous and next posts, so apps can build "read next" buttons.
REST API Link for the Current Item in the Admin Bar
Adds a "REST" link to the front-end admin bar for administrators that opens the JSON for the post, page, term or author being viewed, which speeds up headless and integration work.
Raise the REST API per_page Limit
Lets REST API requests for posts and pages ask for more than 100 items at once, useful for exports and static site generators.
Site Identity REST Endpoint for Apps and Headless Sites
Adds a public /wp-json/site/v1/identity endpoint with the site name, tagline, logo, site icon, language and home URL, so headless front ends and apps can brand themselves from WordPress.
Word Count and Reading Time in the REST API
Adds word_count and reading_time fields to posts in the REST API, so headless front ends and apps can show "5 min read" without counting words themselves.
