Edit this so it becomes the answer of your question – Rudich

nice, forgot to concatenate the namespace :) – Manikin

Also note, if you are using a object method as a callback, it needs to have public visibility, else it will return nothing. – Gyrostatics

Answer 2

In my case I was setting up register_rest_route within a function inside of my class. I simply added:

'callback' => array($this, 'name_of_callback_function'),

You should specif an answer more extends and with more details – Hitherward

Solved my issue when using class methods vs instance methods. Ripper! – Cousingerman

Answer 4

Your callback shouldn't take any args, just remove $data

Rudich

actually, the callbacks need this argument in case they have to do anything with the data sent in the requests – Fini
