Closed SeablazeWeb closed 8 months ago
@SeablazeWeb that sounds like something on the site you're trying to connect to is blocking Distributor's attempt to connect via the REST API.
Check this section of the Known Caveats/Issues in the readme:
Conflicts with Security plugins - Oftentimes the communication Distributor attempts to make across sites using the REST API will be flagged by various security plugins and surreptitiously blocked. If you run into an issue like this, please reach out to the support for your security plugin and ask about getting Distributor unblocked (here is an example for doing so with Wordfence).
@jeffpaul
I have deactivated the "wordfence" plugin on both sites and then test it and here is the report.
"Limited connection established" while connecting beta site in the live site. And when we connecting live site on beta site it is showing this error "Distributor not installed on remote site. The external site is private or not a WordPress site. (rest_api_uri_not_found)"
@SeablazeWeb sounds like the host perhaps might have that site behind some sort of firewall (or perhaps its not fully accessible via the public internet)?

Describe your question
I hope this message finds you well. I am currently facing an issue while attempting to establish a connection from our live site to the beta site ).
Here is a summary of the steps I've taken to troubleshoot the problem:
Reconnection Attempt: Tried reconnecting from the live site to the beta site, but encountered no success.
WAF Configuration: Set the Beta site WAF to learning mode to rule out any potential issues. Unfortunately, this did not yield positive results, so I reverted the configuration back.
Wordfence Live Traffic Analysis: Reviewed the Beta site Wordfence Tools > Live traffic to identify potential connection issues. However, no relevant information appeared in the log.
Auto Connection: Attempted to use the auto connection feature again, but consistently received the following error: Error: Distributor not installed on remote site. The external site is private or not a Wordpress site (rest_api_uri_not_found)
Manual Connection: Manually attempted to establish a connection, resulting in the message "No connection found."
I am reaching out for assistance in resolving this matter. Your expertise and guidance in identifying and addressing the root cause of this connectivity issue would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you for your time and support.
