Hi, I am trying to upload a post image and can connect to my Wordpress site but when I test I get this error:

Failed to create a media in WordPress

The app returned "Signature not valid in the specified time frame:

Can anyone help please?

Hey there @jerweejee, welcome to the Community! 👋

That type of error normally occurs when the Zap is trying to access a file via a link that’s expired. I’m guessing that the image file being generated by a previous action in the Zap, is that correct?

If so, can you re-test the action that generates the image to get it to generate a new link, then head back to the WordPress action and test it again to see if it’s then able to upload the image? 

Looking forward to hearing how that goes!

Awesome, thanks for this. Most of my steps have vanished so I'll need to redo it anyway 😁
