Some time in the past few weeks our Android App stopped working and started showing a “Connection error. Unable to load data” error when we attempt to log in. We haven’t had any trouble with it for years, and the weird thing is that it works fine on an iPad. We deactived plug-ins and used a default theme with no luck. Any ideas?

Hi Josh,
I went through all the troubleshooting and no luck.
Permalinks are set as Post Name
Debug is False
I’ve deactivated all other Plugins and the theme was switched to default
iThemes is not installed
Everything still working fine on iPad and iPhone. It’s just the Android App. We Attempted with a Android Tablet and a Phone and get the same results.

Hi,
Can you install & activate this plugin on your site:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-rest-api-log/
Then try to connect to the site using the Android app.
Then you check the REST API Log entries in WordPress > Tools > Rest API Log. Are there any error messages logged with the requests from the Android App?

No logs from the Android app at all. There are entries from Apple products for a few users though.

OK that’s useful information. What could be happening is the server’s firewall settings (or other security settings) are not accepting the GET requests for the REST API endpoints. Can you check with your host to see if they’ve made any updates to the web server since the time when you could connect with the Android app?

I checked with them earlier and the informed me that they had made no changes to the server. I did log into our Plesk and see that it has ModSecurity installed, but not turned on as we have a Cisco Firewall in front of the server. Nothing has changed on that either.

Nothing has changed with the REST API or the Android apps either. Do you have a staging/dev server where you can do further troubleshooting?

I can set up a staging site. Yeah I saw that there were no updates to the Android app since June so knew it wasn’t the App or the website since it does work for Apple products. I assume it was the server as well. I’ll start hunting down if anyone here made server changes (which I am the only one who normally does and people know to let me know if they need a change made). I’ll also get a staging site set up.

Hi Dan,
Did you have any luck with the staging site?
I did some testing on your site and it looks like a certificate issue.
With Postman I can’t even get a response from your server unless I disable the ‘SSL Certificate Validation’ feature.
If I use cURL on one of my servers I get:
* Peer's certificate issuer is not recognized: 'CN=GlobalSign Extended Validatio n CA - SHA256 - G3,O=GlobalSign nv-sa,C=BE'
* NSS error -8179
* Closing connection #0
* Peer certificate cannot be authenticated with known CA certificates
curl: (60) Peer certificate cannot be authenticated with known CA certificates
More details here: http://curl.haxx.se/docs/sslcerts.html

Great, I’m glad you found the problem.
Just to confirm, I retested with Postman and the requests that previously failed now work.
