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 seem to be 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.
