    After updating to the new version, I can’t connect WordPress to Make. I tried on two installations. I get the following error: Status Code Error: 401. I enable the plugin by default. Previously, all I had to do was enable it, copy the API, and it worked.

    Could you confirm what version of the connector you’re using. as well as any relevant screenshots?

    Same issue here. Running the latest version of the plugin.

    Is this related to this issue: https://ww.wp.xz.cn/support/topic/bad-practice-5/?
    It states that

    This plugin uses it’s own alternative authentication method for the WP-JSON API instead of the native application passwords provided by core WP
    […]
    After examining the code a bit further to find out why the authentication always returned a 401 in our setup, we’ve discovered it tries to login and run it’s code as the first (random) administrator account it can find in the database.

    I find this quite preoccupying. I would love clarification on this, @davidgurr .

    I don’t believe so. We’re continuing to investigate.

    Apologies for the delay – it took a while to find a way to reproduce the issue.

    We’ve just pushed a fix live in the WordPress app. This doesn’t require a new version of the Make plugin for WordPress – it should just work.

    Could those of you with the problem please try again and report back here?

    CORRECTION – I jumped the gun a little. The fix isn’t yet live – please watch this thread for news.

    The fix should now be live. If you can, please try again and let me know your results.

    Contrary to the previous message, you WILL need to install the a new version of the plugin, v1.6.5
