Troubleshooting

If you’re seeing an error like “Sorry, you cannot create posts as this user” then it means you have either entered in some wrong information (usually the wrong username) OR it means you have a plugin that is blocking the ability to create posts from the API (usually for security reasons). In the latter case you must work with your website administrator to identify the plugin that is causing the issue and update a particular setting to prevent this behavior. This is not something Video To Blog can help you with unfortunately.

Depending on the security plugin you use, if there is an option to not block particular API endpoints (usually called an “allow list”), then adding the following wildcard endpoint could help…

/wp-json/wp/v2/*

If wildcard endpoints are not allowed, then here are the following API endpoints we currently use that you could add to your allow list, but please note we might use more API endpoints in the future…

/wp-json/wp/v2/posts
/wp-json/wp/v2/media
/wp-json/wp/v2/tags
