Thanks for the fix. Just tested on multiple sites and it’s now working.

cheers, Steve

I created a basic delete post script, and it works in v 3.4.0 but fails with 401 error in v 3.5.1

import requests
from requests.auth import HTTPBasicAuth

# Setup the credentials and post information
username = "xxxxxx"
app_password = "xxxxxxxxx"  # The application password generated in your profile
post_id = 905  # Replace with the post ID you want to delete
base_url = "https://xxxxxxxxxx.com"  # Replace with your site's base URL

# Construct the API URL
api_url = f"{base_url}/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/{post_id}"

# Send the DELETE request
response = requests.delete(api_url, auth=HTTPBasicAuth(username, app_password))

# Check the response
if response.status_code == 200:
    print(f"Post with ID {post_id} has been successfully deleted.")
else:
    print(f"Failed to delete post with ID {post_id}. Status code: {response.status_code}, Response: {response.text}")

NVM wrong topic

re-started the server, problem solved.

Thanks, so I’d need to make modifications in the class-wp-rest-posts-controller.php then?

I did add to line 1018 of that file $prepared_post->post_status = ( $status == 'publish' ) ? 'draft' : $status; but doesn’t seem to work

Yes, I had same issue. I deleted the ‘upgrades’ folder, recreated and gave it recursive ‘777’ permissions and that solved the issue, for me at least.

Thanks heaps for that info. Solved my problem perfectly.
Good karma to you ??
