Hi, I would like to use webhooks but when I call my endpoints I get this error: 401 Unauthorized Unauthorized This server could not verify that you are authorized to access the document requested. Either you supplied the wrong credentials (e.g., bad password), or your browser doesn't understand how to supply the credentials required. Headers Server: Apache/2.4.18 (Ubuntu) WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm="Restricted Content" Content-Length: 466 Connection: close Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1 Do you have any idea what is the problem? Thanks for your help.

Are you using the wp-discourse plugin, or are these endpoints that you have added yourself?

I’m using the official wp-discourse plugin. What I see int he Webhook log that my X-Discourse-Instance: http://forum.example.com and I set Discourse URL to https://forum.example.com on the WP settings page. FYI: if it can be an issue, then I could not change the X-Discourse-Instance to https, I don’t know where can I change it.

[image] simon: Have you enabled the ‘force https’ setting on Discourse? No, but I chaged it after your post and the error is the same, but now I’m sending: X-Discourse-Instance: https://forum.example.com in the header

Is the webhook payload URL set to https://yoursite.com/wp-json/wp-discourse/v1/update-topic-content ? What version of WordPress are you using? There might be some ideas on this page that can help: Authorization Errors with Wordpress API - Justin D Johnson

Our Payload URL: https://example.com/wp-json/wp-discourse/v1/update-topic-content What version of WordPress are you using? WordPress 4.9.3

Thanks for all of your help, the problem was on my side, I forgot that I set http authentication on the site because it is not public. I apologize for wasting your time.

Have you enabled the ‘force https’ setting on Discourse?
