Related users always show 'search failed' #4
Description
Bug Description
When using the User field in Open Fields, typing in the search box always shows “Search failed”.
In browser/network logs this appears as:
404 rest_no_route
No route was found matching the URL and request method.
Root cause:
The plugin registers REST routes under namespace codeideal-open-fields/v1
But the relational field JS was requesting openfields/v1/...
That namespace mismatch causes a 404 before permissions are even checked.
Example of failing request:
/wp-json/openfields/v1/search/users?... (wrong)
Correct route:
/wp-json/codeideal-open-fields/v1/search/users?... (right)
Fix Applied
I made two changes in the plugin:
Corrected REST namespace in relational JS
File: wp-content/plugins/codeideal-open-fields/assets/admin/js/relational-fields.js
Changed:
openfields/v1/search/posts -> codeideal-open-fields/v1/search/posts
openfields/v1/search/users -> codeideal-open-fields/v1/search/users
Relaxed user-search permission for editors
File: wp-content/plugins/codeideal-open-fields/includes/class-cofld-rest-api.php
Updated permission check so user search is allowed for users who can either:
list_users or
edit_posts
This prevents non-admin editors from hitting a 403 on user lookup after route fix.
