I have a React App that was created using the created-react-app boilerplate. The react app is fetching data from a WordPress API. Now I intend to deploy both the front-end and the back-end on my DO droplet that is already hosting multiple domains. How do I achieve this?
Here is what i already tried:
- I put the front-end files inside /var/www/abc.com
- I created a directory named **api ** inside /var/www/abc.com and put all the wordpress files inside that directory.
- I had a .htaccess file inside /var/www/abc.com so that all requests are routed through index.html
- My WordPress is configured. But when I access **http://abc.com/api/wp-json/wp/v2/posts ** it redirects to a 404 page.
Please help solving the issue. Thanks in advance.
