Hi, after installing all the recommended plugins, I got this warning: “The Legacy REST API plugin and HPOS are both active on this site.” and “WooCommerce installed and activated the Legacy REST API plugin because this site has the Legacy REST API enabled or has legacy webhooks defined.” Any idea how to fix this?

Hello @Gillbert,

Could you please provide temporary wp-admin access? We need to check your settings.

To grant WP-Admin access, please proceed to create a new user account with an administrator role through your WordPress Dashboard. Once the account is established, you may securely transmit the username and password to us via the Private Content section designated for this purpose.

Kind regards, Jack Richardson

Dear Gillbert,

It appears that the legacy WooCommerce REST API, which was previously included in WooCommerce, has been removed as of version 9.0.

We have enabled the necessary setting: https://prnt.sc/827UaJdHtvf1, and everything should now be functioning correctly.

For your information, this change originates from the WooCommerce side. Any suggestions or feature requests should be directed to the WooCommerce plugin’s author at: https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/woocommerce/

Best regards,
8Theme Team

Thank you for your response.

The solution you provided is not appropriate for the website. This issue has already been raised with WooCommerce, and users have discussed the problems caused by the approach you suggested. Please refer to this thread for context:
https://wordpress.org/support/topic/the-legacy-rest-api-plugin-and-hpos-are-both-active-on-this-site/

Additionally, even if these changes originated from WooCommerce, it would be reasonable to expect the theme or its recommended plugins to be updated accordingly. As far as I understand, WooCommerce does not claim compatibility with your theme; rather, your theme claims compatibility with WooCommerce.
