Boostnote: Publishing to wordpress weblog not working because of WP_POST_PATH

[karstenpe]

Current behavior

Trying to publish to a standard wordpress installation ( Version 5.3.2 ) fails in boostote 0.15.2.

Expected behavior

Publishing succeeds.

Steps to reproduce

1. Create an arbitraty entry in boostnote;
2. configure wordpress blog endpoint and
3. use "Publish Blog"

Patch

I could patch the issue by changing (in compiled main.js)
var WP_POST_PATH = '/wp/v2/posts';
to
var WP_POST_PATH = '/wp-json/wp/v2/posts';
Obviously the API endpoint has slightly changed.

Maybe it helps to make it configurable,

Environment

Thanks for reporting the issue and already looking for a fix!

Could you submit a PR with the suggested change? That way we can review it and make it part of the next release.

Thank for getting back. I haven't set it up but will try!

After investigating this issue, it's not Boostnote issue. You have to specify the url with /wp-json in the configuration. This is a example from our default config:

Thanks for investigating; I will try with the next update.
Still skeptical about compatibilty with self-hosted wordpress. Let's see.
UPDATE: checked with 0.15.3 : it works, if configured exactly like proposed (trailing slash will NOT work).
Thanks!
Maybe a hint in the UI could work. At least we have this thread now ;-)
