I resolved this issue.
1. Double-check your .htaccess file. Mine looked like this:
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /yoursitename/
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ – [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /yoursitename/index.php [L]
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP:Authorization} ^(.*)
RewriteRule ^(.*) – [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%1]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
2. Then you will need to make sure you have custom names selected on permalinks. At least in my case this helped.
3. The endpoint is actually gonna be /wp-json/jt-auth/v1/token
4. Test requests to /wp-json/wp/v2/posts/Request String Here……. See WP REST API Docs
TESTING FOR TOKEN
You can make your life a lot easier installing OAuth Server v2. Create a Client with a Client ID and Secret. Copy them. Follow this using the Postman testing tool.
ESTING THE JWT AUTHENTICATION PLUGIN FOR WP REST API v2 in POSTMAN
(assumes you have generated a client id and secret key using the 0Auth Server v2 plugin)
1. ENTER THE URL:
https://yoursitename/wp-json/jwt-auth/v1/token
2. Set to POST
3. Set type to “Basic Auth”
4. Set Username to “Client ID from OAuth Server Plugin”
5. Set Password to “Secret from OAuth Server Plugin”
6. Update Request
7. Set body to x-www-form-urlencoded
8. add key “grant_type” value “password”
9. add key “username” value “Legit WordPress Username”
10. add key “password” username “Legit WordPress Password”
11. Hit Send
JSON RESPONCE SAMPLE:
{
“token”: “AbunchoflettersandnumbersherelikeX9e9we9eWEw#WrS”,
“user_email”: “[email protected]”,
“user_nicename”: “wordpressuser”,
“user_display_name”: “wordpressuser”
}
URL TEST
https://yoursitename/wp-json/wp/v2/users/1?access_token={The token from the response above goes here}
Ok. I hope that helps you get this far. This is where I am in my project. Good luck!
