No, you should not uncheck everything without understanding their actual usage. Few of them might be used by your theme, other plugins are even your app. ### I enabled POST ID from POST URL custom route, how to use it? By enabling it, you created a new route. Send a GET request to https://www.geekdashboard. com/wp-json/wp-rest-api-customizer/url-to-id and add your post url in header with key ‘url’ ### Is enabling comments without authorization is safe? Yes, it is completely safe. But make sure you enabled comment moderation in WordPress settings -> Discussion to prevent spam comments. ### What is the use of adding featured image urls. I’m already getting image id’s? It depends on your requirements. Assume you’re showing 20 recent posts with title and feature image in your Android application. By addig featured image url’s to JSON object, you’re saving 20 requests and ultimately saving user’s data, your site bandwidth and improving app performance. Presto! ### Can I create my own routes with this plugin? Currently our plugin didn’t support creating own routes. We are planning it in next updates. However if you need a custom router which is useful to others (like gettig post id from post url), ask us via support. We’ll add it and update the plugin. ### How can I contribute to WP Rest API Customizer?
