- Ensure you're using an Application Password, not your login password
- Check that WordPress REST API is enabled (default in WP 4.7+)
- Verify no security plugins are blocking REST API access
- Try regenerating a new Application Password
Post Publishing Failed
If posts aren't publishing:
- Check that your WordPress user has publishing permissions
- Verify the category and tag names/IDs are correct
- Ensure content doesn't violate WordPress content policies
- Try publishing as a draft first, then manually publish
- Check WordPress error logs for specific error messages
Media Upload Failed
If images aren't uploading:
- Check file size limits in WordPress settings

Security & Privacy
