Can't authenticate with basic authentication using WP REST API 2.0 plugin

Question

I\'m having an issue with basic authentication.

Trying to send a GET request with Postman (chrome plugin) using the following url: http://_MY_WEBSITE_URL_/w

Answer 1

Finally, I figured out the solution. I had to add some new options manually to my .htaccess file, the plugin didn't make it.

The code:

# BEGIN WP BASIC Auth

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /PluginTest/
RewriteCond %{HTTP:Authorization} ^(.*)
RewriteRule ^(.*) - [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%1]

# END WP BASIC Auth
