Wordpress create post - errors out on Author name or ID about n8n HOT 6 CLOSED

Hey @datdamnzotz

That is interesting it looks like in n8n you are seeing the authorization failed message and Wordpress is also showing the same in the request with the 401 status.

I wonder if the api has changed or if fetching users needs a special user account now.

I will take a look over the weekend or on Monday.

I'm a dork. User name must be the wordpress users name not the one given to the application name (they can be diffrent)

from n8n.

Sorry forgot to note this is Wordpress Version 6.4.3

Another interesting thing is testing from chrome

/wp-json/wp/v2/users

Doesn't' require authentication at all, it returns:

[{"id":1,"name":"admin","url":"http:\/\/ ip :88","description":"","link":"http:\/\/ ip :88\/author\/john\/","slug":"john","avatar_urls":{"24":"http:\/\/2.gravatar.com\/avatar\/86328d87f4eefba2fb22f84f05801c17?s=24&d=mm&r=g","48":"http:\/\/2.gravatar.com\/avatar\/86328d87f4eefba2fb22f84f05801c17?s=48&d=mm&r=g","96":"http:\/\/2.gravatar.com\/avatar\/86328d87f4eefba2fb22f84f05801c17?s=96&d=mm&r=g"},"meta":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/ ip :88\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/ ip :88\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users"}]}}]

where

/wp-json/wp/v2/users?who=authors&per_page=10&page=1

returns:

{"code":"rest_forbidden_who","message":"Sorry, you are not allowed to query users by this parameter.","data":{"status":401}}

So it is asking for authentication...

Looks like update post isn't working either...

Looks like a similar error, Wordpress is saying you are not allowed to do it for some reason.

from n8n.

Thanks for the update that is good to know.
