 * I have created a python program to create a post and media through wordpress 
   APIs, however it is not creating media or post and returning response 200.
 * The same code I have used for another website and is working.
 * Thanks

 * I found that the problem is in the Basic Auth plugin. WP-API guys recommend using
   their own plugin and this solution works for me.
 * Deactivate all activated basic auth plugins in your WordPress dashboard
    On the
   machine your WordPress is running go to the plugin folder Run
 * git clone [https://github.com/WP-API/Basic-Auth.git](https://github.com/WP-API/Basic-Auth.git)
 * Go to your WordPress admin dashboard, plugins page. JSON Basic Authentication
   should be in the list. Activate it.
 * Now creating a record via POST request should work.
