Wordpress Authentication documentation #2814

Open rebeccali opened 5 years ago

rebeccali commented 5 years ago

Current behavior

Using the wordpress authentication for user doesn't work - documentation would be useful.

Expected behavior

Using the user authentication should work seamlessly, but there's no documentation or feedback on the problem besides publish failed.

Steps to reproduce

Make a new wordpress website like blank.wordpress.com, with username user, password pass
In the boostnote application, put the blog address as http:// or https://blank.wordpress.com, and auth method USER, username user, password pass.
Try to publish a note - this fails.

Environment

Version : 0.11.12
OS Version and name : Ubuntu 16.04

To make it work on a self-install, I had to use Basic-Auth plugin to allow API connection using User/Pwd. Assuming you'd need something similar on a wordpress.com site.

@jsavalle I use the cloudway to build my Wordpress, where should I add the Basic-Auth? I don't know how to finish the following steps? Installing Download the plugin into your plugins directory Enable in the WordPress admin

This didn't work for me on my self-installed copy.

Could anybody that has WordPress working make a small step-by-step guide on how to set it up? We could potentially add it as a wiki page, and link to that from within the app.
