Solving the WordPress Create Post Issue for Make Users

Have you ever encountered a problem where your 'Create Post' module in WordPress doesn't create a post? You're not alone. This is a common issue that many users face. But don't worry, we've got a solution for you.

The Problem

After a few months of inactivity, when you re-enable your WordPress integration, you might find that the 'Create Post' module does not create the post. The connection seems fine and it can GET data from WordPress. However, the output is empty, and no post is created. This can happen with a Custom Post Type (CPT) or even with a regular post.

The Solution

There could be a number of things in WordPress that can conflict with the proper running of the API. Here are some key steps to troubleshoot this issue:

• Turn off all Plugins apart from the Make Plugin. If that fixes it, turn them back on one by one until you find the culprit.
• Advanced Access Manager (AAM) is a common cause as it has many features that can affect the REST API. If that's the cause, try turning off all features within AAM and then turning them back on one by one.
• Turn off Permalink processing (back to 'Simple').

If the issue persists, you might want to try creating a new connection with a different API key. However, in some cases, the issue could be due to redirects on the server side. If that's the case, try connecting with 'https://www' instead of 'https://'. This has worked for some users, and now they can POST (and not just GET).

Conclusion

While WordPress is a powerful tool, it can sometimes present challenges. However, with a bit of troubleshooting and patience, these issues can be resolved. Remember, the key is to try different solutions and see what works best for your specific situation. Good luck!
