Note

This example is intended for running within a Chilkat.Js embedded JavaScript engine. All Chilkat JavaScript examples require Chilkat v11.4.0 or greater.

// This example assumes the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
// See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

var http = new CkHttp();

// Use your WordPress login, such as "admin", not the application name.
http.Login = "wp_username";
// Use the application password, such as "Nths RwVH eDJ4 weNZ orMN jabq"
// See WordPress Application Passwords Plugin
http.Password = "app_password";
http.BasicAuth = true;

// Note: For this to work, you'll likely need to update your .htaccess file on your WordPress server.
// Otherwise you'll get this error:
// 
// 401 : Sorry, you are not allowed to create posts as this user
// 
// Your default .htaccess file probably looks like this:
// 
// <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
// RewriteEngine On
// RewriteBase /
// RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - 
// RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
// RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
// RewriteRule . /index.php 
// </IfModule>
// # END WordPress
// 
// Add the following line immediately after the "RewriteEngine On" line:    RewriteRule .* - [E=REMOTE_USER:%{HTTP:Authorization}]
// Your .htaccess file should look like this after the edit:
// 
// <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
// RewriteEngine On
// RewriteRule .* - [E=REMOTE_USER:%{HTTP:Authorization}]
// RewriteBase /
// RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - 
// RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
// RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
// RewriteRule . /index.php 
// </IfModule>
// # END WordPress
