Hello! I did an automation of creating wordpress articles in zapier. The problem is that when the zap is execute, the step of creating wordpress articles is skipping. But when I do a test manually, the creation of wordpress articles works well. I noticed that the step meets the error: “ WordPress ran into an issue. Error code 401: API key is missing”
The "Create a new post" event for WordPress does not work
Hi
Good question.
We would need to see detailed screenshots with how your Zap steps are configured, thanks.
Try checking your WordPress Zap app connection: https://zapier.com/app/connections

My suggestion, check and see if you have any security plugins running on your site, disable them, and run your zap again and see if that error persists.
Hope that helps!

ok, I was apparently incorrect. Removing the security plugin did not fix it, again, my setup is apparently very unstable and sometimes it works fine, other times it errors out. Sorry about that.
If anyone has a good fix, I’m all ears!
Hi there
I’m jumping in to see if I can help!
Before we dig deeper into this, could you please try replaying the errored run in the Zap History to see if it’ll go through?
You can learn more about replaying errored runs here: https://help.zapier.com/hc/en-us/articles/8496241726989-Replay-failed-Zap-runs
Please keep me posted!
