No option to turn off the legacy rest api

By Thomas Jarvis (thomasjarvisdesign) on January 22, 2025

For some reason our clean install of woocommerce has the legacy rest api enabled and greyed out.

Installing this plugin does not give us an option to turn off the api!

Anyone got a solution on how to turn off the legacy rest api?

Doesn't work

Installed in order to use Stripe, but despite jumping through many hoops, I still don't have Stripe as an option? I wasted an afternoon for nothing.

v1.0.4 caused critical error, or was it WC v9.0.0?

Forced plugin install (not even an advisory notice) and either the auto updated WC 9.0 or the v1.0.4 plugin update crashed my client site. Critical error. I have rolled back to WC 8.9.3 and plugin v.1.0.3 to get the site back following advice at https://wordify.com/blog/woocommerce-9-0-0-update-class-wc_legacy_api-not-found/

Critical error version 1.0.3 seems to be resolved in 1.0.4

Update : After updating Woocommerce to 8.9.1 this plugin was installed automatically again (v 1.0.4) and is now working without a crash.

Version 1.0.3: Critical error on line 77 when updated. Had to follow the safe mode to disable this plugin and temporary delete it. Theme used: Astra. After deleting the Rest API plugin everything went back to normal. Please fix.

Did Not Need/Request This Plugin

Even though Rest API was unticked on our site - as in not used, non-required - and there are no webhooks,this new replacement plugin was installed by WooCommerce anyway - it was bad enough when Woo began saying certain plugins were suddenly compulsory- but I did not realize they would just install plugins without consent. We have had problems since the latest Woo update so it is hard to say if the inability of would-be buyers to add products to cart is due to this plugin or another revenue-draining update from WooCommerce. However, I am giving it one star because it is unneccessary, not required and was added as a live, active plugin by WooCommerce, when Rest API itself was not active.

Forced update, Totally killed my site
