I am unable to get the user info from the REST API. The user has not any post created. I have installed the Basic-Auth plugin. Whenever I try to get the user info, I get the following error.
Request :
{
"code": "rest_user_cannot_view",
"message": "Sorry, you are not allowed to list users.",
"data": {
"status": 401
}
}
But whenever I request the other user, I get the info.
{
"id": 1,
"name": "asdf",
"url": "",
"description": "",
"link": "/",
"slug": "asdf",
"avatar_urls": {
"24": ";d=mm&r=g",
"48": ";d=mm&r=g",
"96": ";d=mm&r=g"
},
"meta": [],
"_links": {
"self": [
{
"href": ""
}
],
"collection": [
{
"href": ""
}
]
}
}

Reset to default 5This is by design and within WP_REST_Users_Controller::get_item_permissions_check() we e.g. have a non-zero check with count_user_posts( $user->ID, $types ).
We note that count_user_posts() is filterable with the get_usernumposts filter so one could change 0 to 1, for the /wp/v2/users/\d+ route:
add_filter( 'rest_request_before_callbacks', function( $response, $handler, $request ){
if ( WP_REST_Server::READABLE !== $request->get_method() ) {
return $response;
}
if ( ! preg_match( '~/wp/v2/users/\d+~', $request->get_route() ) ) {
return $response;
}
add_filter( 'get_usernumposts', function( $count ) {
return $count > 0 ? $count : 1;
} );
return $response;
}, 10, 3 );
but I would rather recommend creating a custom rest route instead of modifying an existing one like this.
