Title: SWPM cannot process this access request Last modified: February 11, 2023 --- # SWPM cannot process this access request * Resolved [juanguillermo](https://wordpress.org/support/users/juanguillermo/) * (@juanguillermo) * [3 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/swpm-cannot-process-this-access-request/) * Hello! I am developing a web application that uses WordPress as a backend (Headless). That is, I consume the WordPress resources and database from the app created in Vue with Node.js through the Rest API. * User creation is simple and I have it figured out. What I’m having problems with is the login. * Apparently (and according to WordPress) SWPM is blocking the login. * More details now: 1. I send my app username and password to WordPress by Rest API using node-fetch( GET method). 2. In WordPress I have an Endpoint inside a Custom Plugin (code below). 3. This endpoint retrieves the URI parameters and sends them to wp_signon to sign in. 4. If wp_signon succeeds in logging in, it returns the user’s data. If not, it returns an error array. * This is the custom endpoint en WP: * ```wp-block-code // Register REST API endpoints class Login_REST_API_Endpoints { /** * Register the routes for the objects of the controller. */ public static function register_endpoints() { // endpoints will be registered here register_rest_route( 'wp', '/login', array( 'methods' => 'GET', 'callback' => array( 'Login_REST_API_Endpoints', 'login' ), 'permission_callback' => '__return_true' ) ); } /** * @param WP_REST_Request $request Full data about the request. * @return WP_Error|WP_REST_Request */ public static function login( $request ) { $data = array(); $data['user_login'] = $request["email"]; $data['user_password'] = $request["password"]; $data['remember'] = true; $user = wp_signon( $data, false ); if ( !is_wp_error($user) ){ return $user; } else { return $error = json_encode(array('error' => true)); } } } add_action( 'rest_api_init', array( 'Login_REST_API_Endpoints', 'register_endpoints' ) ); ``` * So far so good. The problem appears when I activate the SWPM plugin. * I start getting this response (the asterisks are intentional, to hide the real info): * ```wp-block-code { "code": "wp_die", "message": "

But if it’s inactive, I get the 200 code, user data in the body, and WP login cookies in the header. * Insomnia’s settings say that it automatically stores these cookies and sends them when they are needed. * Now (the interesting thing) if I reactivate the SWPM plugin and do GET, I get code 200, the user data and NEW WP login cookies + SWPM login cookies. * From then on, all the requests you make to WP will be code 200. Logically, in each login request the cookies change. * Now, if I copy these cookies to my fetch code in Node.js, I also get 200 code from WP, even if the SWPM plugin is enabled. * Logically, these cookies expire and it is not something that can be used in production, but this information may help to solve the problem. * Plugin Support [mbrsolution](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mbrsolution/) * (@mbrsolution) * [3 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/swpm-cannot-process-this-access-request/#post-16462420) * Hi, * Are you following our instructions below? * [https://simple-membership-plugin.com/simple-membership-api-creating-member-account-using-http-post-request/](https://simple-membership-plugin.com/simple-membership-api-creating-member-account-using-http-post-request/) * Kind regards. * Thread Starter [juanguillermo](https://wordpress.org/support/users/juanguillermo/) * (@juanguillermo) * [3 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/swpm-cannot-process-this-access-request/#post-16462445) * Hello! * Yep, in fact, I am creating the user using the SWPM API. * However the documentation doesn’t say anything about Login. * Do you have an API for login? * What part of the plugin is blocking login through the WordPress API? * Regards.
