if I’m using the REST API to create endpoints in my plugin, should I be flushing rewrite rules on init or in rest_api_init?
I realize that it should be done on plugin activation/deactivation. However, once either of those evens are triggered, don’t you still have to respect the traditional hook process in order to ensure the rewrite rules are flushed AFTER they’ve been modified? A/K/A – After the rest routes have been added.
Example:
function activate() {
// do something when this plugin is activated...
add_action( 'init', function () {
flush_rewrite_rules( true );
}, 9999 );
return true;
}
# Plugin Activation
register_activation_hook( __FILE__, function () {
require_once( PATH . '/backend/inc/activation.php' );
Backendactivate();
} );
init
add_action( 'init', function () {
flush_rewrite_rules( true );
}, 9999 );
rest_api_init
add_action( 'rest_api_init', function () {
flush_rewrite_rules( true );
}, 9999 );
