I was able to solve this using the fix from the suggestion above (I had to set up sftp to make the changes).
Hi @amweiss98
That means you have disabled REST endpoints on your site? Can you let me know how you did it so I can figure out if there’s a good way to detect this.
Also, just curious why you disabled it, if you want to share. Thanks.

sure, I just changed line 99 on. ml-slider/admin/Pages.php to:
$can_use_rest = false;
and that solved the problem. Without changing that line, I wasn’t able to save any changes I made to the slider (like I was simply trying to change words on the layer above the image, which I’ve always done before).
Hi @amweiss98
This isn’t a bug with MetaSlider, it means that you have REST disabled on your site, either manually (as from the linked support post above) or from another plugin.
You lose some WP functionality when you disable it so if that’s not intentional then you might want to investigate further.

ok..I certainly didn’t disable REST, but maybe another plugin did this..I’ll need to look around and see.
Hi @amweiss98
I’ll be adding a constant to the next release which will disable REST in MetaSlider. After you update you will need to add a constant to your wo-config.php file or elsewhere.
define('METASLIDER_FORCE_ADMIN_AJAX', true);
Currently it wont do anything as it’s not released yet, so if this changes I will update this post.
Let me know if you have any questions.
