I have a WP multisite installation with various users each having their own installation
Ie
www.mysite.com/fearghal
www.mysite.com/john
etc.
Is there a way I can use one Twitter application that will allow each user to update their status? I know with one site it is simple, but with multiple url's like WP MS - could be tricky with various callback urls.
Any ideas folks?
You can do that. When you get a request token you will have to pass the callback url for that site to Twitter and callback URL will have a verifier passed to it that will need to be sent when you get an access token. You can read more about the process at http://dev.twitter.com/pages/auth

I have a Wordpress website and a Chrome Extension. If the user logs in on the website, I want the Chrome Extension to be aware of that (and vice-versa). The Chrome Extension won't have a login form in it; the user will always log in through the website login form.
When you log in on the website, Wordpress by default sets its authentication cookies to identify the user. What I initially had in mind: I would also like to return some kind of access token, which I would store somewhere where the extension can find it and use it to make authenticated requests to the Wordpress REST API. But.. where do I store it (in a safe manner) so I can find it within the extension?
Perhaps I should try a different approach?
Thank you!
What you could do, the simpler way:
create an Ajax action or a REST API route
as you can read in the documentation, the authentication is cookie-based. So once the user is logged in from the WordPress login form, the authentication cookie is added to your browsing session
without overrides, the cookie will also be forwarded when using JS HTTP queries (eg ajax)
your route could check something like is_user_logged_in() or wp_get_current_user() like available methods. And return the result (among other things if needed) to your plugin JS
you may need to change the WordPress cookie configuration, so they can be accessed from anywhere (any domain), check this.
Better way:
would be to use a plugin like this to implement REST API Oauth2 authentication
user should be able to login directly from the extension window (need development), and then use a refresh token feature to keep the user logged in.
I believe you may also need to update your actual login form, if its classic or OAuth rest API login, should be able to send back the required OAuth token (access and refresh tokens), to the frontend (then stored in local storage or else) to be used by the extension. To prevent having to log in twice.
I have Wordpress blog and I want to share my post blog automatically in my Facebook Fanpage.
I using NextScripts: Social Networks Auto-Poster plugin and insert App ID and App Secret (I'm already register in developers.facebook.com). But when I click Authorize Your Facebook Account, I get error that said:
"Can't Load URL: The domain of this URL isn't included in the app's domains. To be able to load this URL, add all domains and subdomains of your app to the App Domains field in your app settings."
I'm already search answer in google, but still not able to fix it.
such as do this in developers.facebook.com account:
Use Strict Mode for Switch URIs => Turn off (but cannot turn it off)
Insert https://www.example.com/auth/facebook/callback into Valid OAuth URI redirect (not solving my problem, having another error : URL Blocked)
Is there any way to fix it? I only want to share my blog post automatically to save time, just it. Any help is very appreciated, Thank you.
I'm new to WP-REST API and Wordpress in general. I've tried to get the posts list using the endpoint wp-json/wp/v2/posts but I get the classic 403 error.
I'd like to ask if there is a way to disable authentication for GET requests like posts, categories and so on since I want to create a web application in which a user can navigate and see them freely, with no need for authentication.
Thank you all for the answers.
You actually don't need to have authorization to merely GET posts or categories, so long as they aren't password protected.
If someone has implemented a modifier to rest_authentication_errors, that might be your problem: https://developer.wordpress.org/rest-api/using-the-rest-api/frequently-asked-questions/#require-authentication-for-all-requests

I am building phonegap application to show post and other pages. Logged in users can only access these pages. So, I am creating login system in phonegap with wordpress api. I am using json api,json api user for api.
After username, password entered in login form authentication cookie is generated by 'generate_auth_cookie' api and stored in local storage. It is stored as 'wordpress_logged_in_5....'=>'username|1453458845|J500gDe.....'
I am struck here. Please tell me the next steps after this. Also I need to check the user is logged in on every api call.
FOR JSON API LOGIN
Method: generate_auth_cookie
First get the nonce: http://localhost/api/get_nonce/?controller=user&method=generate_auth_cookie
Then generate cookie: http://localhost/api/user/generate_auth_cookie/?username=john&password=PASSWORD-HERE
Method: validate_auth_cookie
It needs 'cookie' var.
http://localhost/api/user/validate_auth_cookie/?cookie=admin|43089754375034fjwfn39u8
so when user sent req. of login that time you need to create nonce and then gen. auth cookie and so on. and if all good then log in to user. and save it to your site. so once user click on logout. there session will be removed.
you can also set session from here
generate cookie for 1 minute: http://localhost/api/user/generate_auth_cookie/?username=john&password=PASSWORD-HERE&seconds=60
60 means 1 minute.

OR
TRY - WP REST API V2
http://v2.wp-api.org/
downlaod plugin and install it.
https://wordpress.org/plugins/json-rest-api/
just type /wp-json/wp/v2/posts in end of your site url and you will get all post.
for get all post
www.mysite.com/wp-json/wp/v2/posts
For the search functionality - search test post
/wp-json/wp/v2/posts?filter[s]=test
much more details from this link http://v2.wp-api.org/reference/posts/
Note for best result use latest version of WP
so using this you can easily get post page etc.
I've seen this and this but before I sink a ton of time into it, I want to know if what I'm trying to do is possible. I have a Page on FB (not a profile, but a Page for business, websites, etc) and I want to post a story to it via my site automatically. I don't want to do anything else but that. I don't want to create an app (if I don't have to), just post to a Page. Is there an easy way to do this, or is this super complicated?
Also, if I have to build an app, what's the simplest way to go about this (the other guy's question was never answered)?
Thanks!
Yes, you will need to get a page access token. Simply use the user access token for an admin of the page and call me/accounts There you will find a list of all the pages and apps admined by that user. Find the page, and in that object will be the page access token. Use that page access token and HTTP POST to me/feed with the post parameters set.

You could write a script to control a web browser. The script could log in then post the message... Use a library like WatiN to script the browser.
You are either going to have to make a Facebook Application, use franks method, or do some sniffing and figure out how the publisher works and login / post with cURL and cookies.
Also there is a application called "Blog RSS Feed Reader" if you wanted to go the RSS route.
