* This example assumes the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
* See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

loHttp = CreateObject('Chilkat.Http')

* Use your WordPress login, such as "admin", not the application name.
loHttp.Login = "wp_username"
* Use the application password, such as "Nths RwVH eDJ4 weNZ orMN jabq"
* See WordPress Application Passwords Plugin
loHttp.Password = "app_password"
loHttp.BasicAuth = 1

* Note: For this to work, you'll likely need to update your .htaccess file on your WordPress server.
* Otherwise you'll get this error:
* 
* 401 : Sorry, you are not allowed to create posts as this user
* 
* Your default .htaccess file probably looks like this:
* 
* <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
* RewriteEngine On
* RewriteBase /
* RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - 
* RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
* RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
* RewriteRule . /index.php 
* </IfModule>
* # END WordPress
* 
* Add the following line immediately after the "RewriteEngine On" line:    RewriteRule .* - [E=REMOTE_USER:%{HTTP:Authorization}]
* Your .htaccess file should look like this after the edit:
* 
* <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
* RewriteEngine On
* RewriteRule .* - [E=REMOTE_USER:%{HTTP:Authorization}]
* RewriteBase /
* RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - 
* RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
* RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
* RewriteRule . /index.php 
* </IfModule>
* # END WordPress

loJson = CreateObject('Chilkat.JsonObject')
loJson.UpdateString("title","This is a test post")
loJson.UpdateString("content","<p>This is the HTML body of my post</p>")
* The status can be "draft" or "publish"
loJson.UpdateString("status","draft")

* Add tags -- but you need to know the ID of an existing tag.
* See Chilkat's other WordPress example for creating a tag, or getting the ID of an existing tag.
lnTagIdx = 0
loJson.I = lnTagIdx
* When Chilkat sees the literal string "[i]" in the JSON path, it replaces the "i" with the value of the "I" property.
loJson.UpdateInt("tags[i]",56)
lnTagIdx = lnTagIdx + 1
loJson.I = lnTagIdx
loJson.UpdateInt("tags[i]",75)
