Enable CORS on JSON API Wordpress

Question

I have this wordpress site with a plugin called JSON API. This plugin provides a JSON format for the content that is in the wordpress. I was able to enable CORS on the wordp

Answer 1

I've used a few different WordPress API's - but for those of you using the 'official' WP-API, I had much trouble with this CORS --- and what I found was that between the .htaccess approach and a few others I stumbled upon... adding this to your theme functions.php worked best.

function add_cors_http_header(){
    header("Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *");
}
add_action('init','add_cors_http_header');

Be sure not to use any combinations of these ( .htaccess, header.php, api.php, functions.php ) as it will be angry at you.
