 * I’m building a web application based on wordpress & wp json plugin.
 * I created a form for posting a new post with title, content and attachment but
   the attachment is not passing on
 * js:
 *     ```
       $(document).on("submit", "#add-post #post-upload", function(e) {
   
           var post_title = $("#add-post input[name='form-post-title']").val();
           var post_content = $("#add-post textarea[name='form-post-content']").val();
   
           $.ajax({
               url: url + "/create_post?nonce=*******&title=" + post_title + "&content=" + post_content,
               dataType: "json",
               success: function(data){
                   console.log(data);
               },
               error: function(data) {
                   console.log(data);
               }
           });
       });
       ```
   
 * html code:
 *     ```
       <form name="post-upload" id="post-upload" method="post" action="#home" enctype="multipart/form-data">
               <input type="text" name="form-post-title" placeholder="title" />
               <textarea name="form-post-content" placeholder="content"></textarea>
               <input type="file" name="attachment" id="attachment" />
               <input type="submit" value="Submit" />
           </form>
       ```
   
 * wordpress json api github page ([https://github.com/homicidewatch/wordpress-json-api](https://github.com/homicidewatch/wordpress-json-api))
   says it needs to have a input with “attachemnt” as a name for file input. But
   again, not working for some reason.
