Wordpress Login Credentials

[Roarshack_Studios]

Describe the problem/error/question

Wordpress credentials not working. I’ve correctly inputted the user and password for my administer and it says successfully synced but when I try to run any Wordpress action through the Wordpress node I get a 401 error.

What is the error message (if any)?

Error code

Hey @Roarshack_Studios,

a similar problem was discussed here:

Sorry, you are not allowed to create posts as this user. Wordpress 6.4.3

Describe the problem/error/question I cannot post anything in WordPress. I’m running the version 6.4.3. This is my .htaccess: # BEGIN WordPress <IfModule mod_rewrite.c> RewriteEngine On RewriteRule .* - [E=REMOTE_USER:%{HTTP:Authorization}] RewriteCond %{HTTP:Authorization} ^(.)

Did you set up an application password as mentioned there?

Thanks for the reply. I went through the 2-step authentication request and created an application password but was still getting the 401 error. I went into my user settings in my website and came across this

I generated an application password here and it worked!

We should update our documentation to mention this if it isn’t there already. I will take a look in the morning to see if it is already there.

Not related. I had done this already. I had gotten the password and the issue was with a Cache or something like that the blog support engineer found in our case.

Sure, ultimately, it was a different solution in your case.

But the steps for troubleshooting were laid out nicely in that post of yours, that’s why I referenced it. =)
