    Which authentication method are you using? Are you just trying to get the posts or creating a new one?

    Hi I am using basic authentication and trying to create a new post. I can get the post ok. This is the response I get. I have the user/password in the header in postman. The user is admin and has administrator right from the dashboard.
    Thanks for your help
