Update Post

[lazardanlucian]

Updating a post seems to not work, The issue is that POST /wp-json/wp/v2/posts/%ID% expects a specific set of arguments and values like: {"title":"mytitle", "content":"mycontent"}

Instead, the library seems to grab a GET /wp-json/wp/v2/posts/%ID% which is like so: {"title":{"rendered":"mytitle"}, "content":{"rendered":"

mycontent

"}}

Then feeds it back to POST /wp-json/wp/v2/posts/%ID%

---

The library should GET /wp-json/wp/v2/posts/%ID%?context=edit

then grab title->raw content->raw excerpt->raw (etcetera) and modify those if needed by user of library

then put them for POST /wp-json/wp/v2/posts/%ID% as {"titlle":"modified title", "content":"modified content", "excerpt": "modified excerpt"}

---

Thanks

This is a grab of a request made by the library on the update procedure/function ====== is redacted data

POST /blog/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/51 HTTP/1.1 Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8 Host: ====== Content-Length: 7502 Expect: 100-continue Connection: Keep-Alive

the rest of the json is not needed to see that it's sending malformed data/arguments for post update

@lazardanlucian Can you please post an excerpt of the code you're using?

Using the following snippet works just fine on my end:

var post = new Post
{
    Id = 18,
    Title = new Title("Updated Title"),
    Content = new Content
    {
        Raw = "Updated Post Content"
    }
};
var response = await client.Posts.UpdateAsync(post);

hello @simonhammes , I don't really have it on me, It was someone else on that end, I was on wordpress end. Anyway, what I can tell you, he was grabbing a post with PCL then modifying content, then putting it back.
