error: "Request failed with status code 401"

[Laurynas-Sirgedas]

When I was trying to reach http://localhost:3000/api/get-products I get an error
{ success: false, products: [ ], error: "Request failed with status code 401", }

An issue occurred because I've followed all instructions and set the WordPress site address to http://localhost:3000
When I set the Site address (frontend) to a normal domain (the same as WordPress Address) address, then the issue disappears

Is there a more elegant solution to this as using the normal WordPress address will cause the permalinks to link to the wordpress site not the headless Nextjs site

• Thanks for bringing this up 👍
• When we set site address url to frontend url, by default wp rest endpoint gets that frontend url as base point.
• So an actual backend url required an update for REST api only. I have made the changes to the Headlesss CMS Plugin

So this is resolved, Please pull the latest changes from https://github.com/imranhsayed/headless-cms or download the latest version of the plugin.
Now you should be able to set the SITE URL to the front end url from WordPress General Settings

@imranhsayed,
Many thanks for the wonderful work.
However, this is not resolved for me, even though I have the latest version of HCMS. When I set site to localhost:3000 in Wordpress General settings, I get the same result of

{ success: false, products: [ ], error: "Request failed with status code 401", }
when I try to reach: http://localhost:3000/api/get-products

It was the same for trying to use function getStaticProps() with this endpoint: /wp-json/rae/v1/header-footer?header_location_id=hcms-menu-header&footer_location_id=hcms-menu-footer.
However, this particular problem was solved by adding "index.php" in url, like so:

/index.php/wp-json/rae/v1/header-footer?header_location_id=hcms-menu-header&footer_location_id=hcms-menu-footer

But still not elegant, and would be perfect if this was resolved with the Wordpress General settings.

Any chance you could look into this?
