    Hi!

    I have been annoying myself with this for hours.

    I am trying to set up a Podbean podcast to upload forums into a wordpress hosted website, created with Elementor.
    I tried following the instructions here:
    https://help.podbean.com/support/solutions/articles/25000005113-setting-up-my-podbean-podcasts-to-automatically-post-to-my-wordpress-site
    I have realized that now the application password is embedded into wordpress so i tried not installing the plugin and just using it as it comes with wordpress.
    At first I was getting an error saying:
    “User not found..”
    Now I get this error:
    “Error: WordPress API connection failed , api response : Sorry, you are not allowed to do that.(rest_forbidden)”

    I have tried creating the user in many different ways, with different users, etc… There must be something I am not doing, but haven’t found anything online….

    Help please!!!!

    Hi there,

    I do not see any sites under your @catholicwire WordPress.com account when I check on our end. You can confirm by visiting this page: https://wordpress.com/sites.

    Is it possible you created your site under a different login?  Is it the case that you are using another provider like GoDaddy, Bluehost, Hostgator, etc. instead? What is the URL of the site you are needing help with?

    Happy to check in our system so we can take a closer look.

    No, I am sorry, I wasn’t clear.
    The site is a self-hosted website, developed with an installation of wordpress and elementor. Not hosted by wordpress.

    Hi there,

    In that case, please contact support at Elementor directly for help with this. The forum you’re posting in now is for the hosting provider, WordPress.com. We can only help with sites that are hosted on our servers, and we cannot help with issues involving plugins made by completely different companies.

    For general help with the version of WordPress you’re using, you can ask the WordPress.org community over at https://wordpress.org/support/forums/

    I see. This is not a problem with Elementor, but with the wordpress development platoform, but I didn’t know the forums for the platform and the hosting were separated.
    Apologies and thanks.
