Status 401 / Not allowed to Edit

[Mojo90]

Hi there,
I have always an Authentication Error with my WP-Blog. I thought it could be the same error as Issue #25 but below you can see the Output of my header. So this could not be the problem. (XXX is the base64 encoded username:password).
Any other ideas to try out?

curl -v --header "Authorization: Basic XXX" -X POST -d "title=New Title" http://www.hyphy.de/wp-json-v2/wp/v2/posts/3526

Fixed it by myself thanks to this post:
WP-API/Basic-Auth#1

Changing .htaccess did the Trick for me:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization},L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

Not sure what I changed but I have now the same Error again.
I changed my domain from .de to .rocks and using W3 Total Cache (not sure if that creates some dependencies).
Does anybody have some hints? Tried a lot but it is always the same error again as described above :-(

Been battling this one for 24 hours. the .htaccess fix helped this work.

Yes this was a hard one for me as well 😄 now we developed our own system and do not need WP anymore for this project...
