Fix WordPress REST API 401 Error
Budget: €30 – €250 EUR
My WordPress site doesnt accept REST calls from n8n. Every POST request I send to /wp-json/wp/v2/posts with my administrator credentials is rejected with the following response:
`{ "code": "rest_cannot_create", "message": "Sorry, you are not allowed to create posts as this user.", "data": { "status": 401 } }`
No plugins or themes were updated before this occurred, and the account in question is a full Administrator. I need a WordPress-savvy developer who can:
• Trace why the REST endpoint believes the admin lacks create permissions.
• Adjust any capability, role, or permission settings that may have been corrupted.
• Prove success by requesting me to send a test through n8n
Once the 401 is gone and posts flow through normally, the job is done.
