Hi Tran - My site REQUIRES facetted search. I use FacetWP for that. As of last week, the facet search results are no longer working for "logged-out" users. The plugin author has confirmed that it's not their issue, as they gave me the following reply:

Hi,

I get this message from the ajax refresh:

{code: "rest_not_logged_in",…}
code: "rest_not_logged_in"
data: {status: 401}
message: "The WordPress Rest API has been locked to authorized access only. Log in to use the API."

A plugin, server setting, or even a firewall, cdn is blocking access to non-logged in users when causes facetwp to fail to refresh. You'll need to figure out what is causing that, if its a plugin it could be a setting.

I have contacted my host & suppport at WPMUDEV, and they've come to the conclusion that it's likely your metabox.io plugin. I would try installing a previous version, but not sure if it's the Metabox AIO or the main Metabox plugin I would need to revert.

Please help!

Thanks
Sam

Would be happy to give you login access outside of the public forum, of course.

Hi Sam,

You can disable MB REST API in the Meta Box AIO settings and use an earlier version of it from wordpress.org.

The plugin doesn't have any control on access permission. Please try deactivating it, and use only FacetWP to see if the problem still happens.
