    // Use your WordPress login, such as "admin", not the application name.

    // 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
