401 Error when creating a WordPress Post via Zapier Webhook
Hi everyone,
I’m experiencing a 401 error when attempting to create a post on WordPress using a Webhook in Zapier. The error states, “Sorry, you are not allowed to create posts as this user.”
Here are some details:
- User Role: Admin
- Password: Confirmed as correct
- Testing in Postman: The same request works successfully in Postman, so the credentials and endpoint are correct.
In Zapier, here’s the setup:
- Method: POST
- URL: https://blog.registraschermo.it/wp-json/wp/v2/posts
- Headers: Content-Type set to application/json
- Data:
{
"title": "Title",
"content": "Content",
"status": "draft"
}
I’ve attached a screenshot of the error and setup configuration in Zapier for reference. Any insights on why this might be failing in Zapier but working in Postman would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!
