    Hello I am quite new to wordpress and I am encountering an issue when I try to authorise the rest API.

    My site is hosted on godaddy managed wordress, I retrieved my login credentials from the wordpress database.

    However every time i enter my login details to test configuration It returns the following response.

    { “status”: “error”, “error”: “INVALID_USERNAME”, “code”: “400”, “error_description”: “Username Does not exist.” }

    Can anyone please help in what might be the issue here?

    To be clear this is using WordPress REST API Authentication plugin and in the configuration settings.

    Hi,

    Thanks for reaching out.

    To help you further, can you please share the screenshot of the Test Configuration section of the plugin?

    Also, please note that you are passing the WordPress username instead of the user’s login email and one thing can you confirm if your username consists of special characters?

    Looking forward to hearing from you soon.

    Thanks,

    It was a mistake on my behalf I was entering the password which was in my wordpress database which was a different password to my actual login.
