i have the same issue
The REST API is one way WordPress, and other applications, communicate with the server. One example is the block editor screen, which relies on this to display, and save, your posts and pages.

Your site could not complete a loopback request

Loopback requests are used to run scheduled events, and are also used by the built-in editors for themes and plugins to verify code stability.

The loopback request to your site failed, this means features relying on them are not currently working as expected.

This is an old post but putting up a resolution for anyone else who hits it.

Seen this issue before plenty of times, easy fix. Long story short, add your sites domain name to your hosts file and point it to your loopback address. 127.0.0.1

127.0.0.1 domain.tld

This will allow cURL to properly complete a loopback request locally to your domain.tld

Hi,

That may be a solution but that can't be THE solution. Imagine I have a server with a hundred of sites, must I add them all to /etc/hosts ? ofc not. If you administer a cPanel server, for example, you'll see that doesn't happen (having the domains at the hosts file with 127.0.0.1), and it performs loopback requests just fine.

There is an issue with aaPanel that prevents loopback requests. This should be fixed by the aaPanel team definitely. The workaround is nothing but that: a workaround, which in nature is temporary.
