Wordpress Authentication documentation

[rebeccali]

Current behavior

Using the wordpress authentication for user doesn't work - documentation would be useful.

Expected behavior

Using the user authentication should work seamlessly, but there's no documentation or feedback on the problem besides publish failed.

Steps to reproduce

1. Make a new wordpress website like blank.wordpress.com, with username user, password pass
2. In the boostnote application, put the blog address as http:// or https://blank.wordpress.com, and auth method USER, username user, password pass.
3. Try to publish a note - this fails.

Environment

• Version : 0.11.12
• OS Version and name : Ubuntu 16.04

To make it work on a self-install, I had to use Basic-Auth plugin to allow API connection using User/Pwd. Assuming you'd need something similar on a wordpress.com site.

@jsavalle I use the cloudway to build my Wordpress, where should I add the Basic-Auth?
I don't know how to finish the following steps?
Installing
Download the plugin into your plugins directory
Enable in the WordPress admin

This didn't work for me on my self-installed copy.

Could anybody that has WordPress working make a small step-by-step guide on how to set it up? We could potentially add it as a wiki page, and link to that from within the app.
