README
This plugin adds Basic Authentication to a WordPress site.
Note that this plugin requires sending your username and password with every request, and should only be used over SSL-secured connections or for local development and testing. Without SSL we strongly recommend using the OAuth 1.0a authentication handler in production environments.
Installing
- Download the plugin into your plugins directory
- Enable in the WordPress admin
Using
This plugin adds support for Basic Authentication, as specified in RFC2617. Most HTTP clients will allow you to use this authentication natively. Some examples are listed below.
cURL
curl --user admin:password https://example.com/wp-json/
WP_Http
$args = array( 'headers' => array( 'Authorization' => 'Basic ' . base64_encode( $username . ':' . $password ), ), );
node-wpapi
const WPAPI = require('./wpapi') const wp = new WPAPI({ endpoint: 'https://example.com/wp-json', username: 'editor', password: 'password' });
