Persistence layer tries to make a REST API call to '/wp/v2/users/me' when user is not logged in

Description

The code below from wp-includes/js/dist/preferences-persistence.js tries to make a REST API call to '/wp/v2/users/me?context=edit', even when not logged in. On my site, this returns a 401 (maybe due to a security setting).

Would it not be possible to check whether the user is logged in first, either through some WP JS data or a JS cookie, and not do this call if the user is not logged in?

function create({
  preloadedData,
  localStorageRestoreKey = 'WP_PREFERENCES_RESTORE_DATA',
  requestDebounceMS = 2500
} = {}) {
  let cache = preloadedData;
  const debouncedApiFetch = debounceAsync((external_wp_apiFetch_default()), requestDebounceMS);
  async function get() {
    if (cache) {
      return cache;
    }
    const user = await external_wp_apiFetch_default()({
      path: '/wp/v2/users/me?context=edit'
    });

Checking that the user is logged in could be as simple as:

const isLoggedIn = document.body.classList.contains('logged-in');

and same remark for the PUT request.

  • Component changed from General to Script Loader
  • Focuses rest-api privacy removed
  • Keywords 2nd-opinion removed

Definitely ran into this too.

Best to report this on the Gutenberg repo though where that code is maintained.

The logged-in check must not depend on the DOM, that isn‘t reliable.

  • Resolution set to invalid
  • Status changed from new to closed

Closing as it turns out this was due to the Updraft Central plugin.
