 * I have the same problem that [Unknown-auth-controller](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/unknown-auth-controller)
 * The plugin is activated into JSON API ( **JSON API Auth** ).
 * If I disable this plugin and active **JSON API User**, working properly.
 * THX!!!!!!!!!

 * if you are using JSON API User, you don’t need to install JSON API Auth. JSON
   API User has all the endpoints of Auth plugin.

 * Installed JSON API User because Auth plugin generates an error response 🙁

 * this error occurs when you don’t activate the controller after installing the
   plugin. Go to Settings > JSON API and then activate the ‘Auth’ controller.
