Can't seem to update an existing WordPress post

Taz — Question ·

Hi there!

I'm setting up a workflow that accepts input from an email, and then updates an existing WordPress post with the emailed content. However, when testing the workflow, the WordPress action kicks back this response:

Code: rest_cannot_edit
Message: Sorry, you are not allowed to edit this post.
Data Status: 401

Anyone know why this is happening? I've tried this on a couple of WordPress blogs with the same results.

Thanks for your time!

Hey @Taz

Could you please once check in your WordPress account that have you installed the JSON Basic Authentication or not.

If not then you can check the following thread to install that. Kindly try this at your end and let us know if that works for you.

That did the trick! Thank you so much!

Sorry for the delay in my reply. I got Covid right after publishing my original post. Life is just returning to normal. Thanks again!
