JSONDecodError at /blog/

[hybridpicker]

• Django Wordpress API version: 0.2.0
• Python version: 3

Trying to integrate Wordpress blog into a Django Project.
Set it up like its described in the Django Wordpress API:

First, I checked if WP Rest API isn't disabled.

Then I added these lines after pip install django-wordpress-api-plugin:

settings.py:

 INSTALLED_APPS += ('wordpress_api',)

 WP_URL = 'https://wordpress-site.com/blog'

views.py:

 import wordpress_api
 
 re_path(r'^blog/', include('wordpress_api.urls')),

Tried manage.py runserver and localhost:8000/blog.

Then this Error disappeard:

  JSONDecodeError at /blog/
  Expecting value: line 1 column 1 (char 0)
  Request Method:	GET
  Request URL:	http://localhost:8000/blog/

Hoping for some hints how to fix that problem

Did you change the WP_URL setting to a URL that contained a valid WordPress blog? (I.e. the https://wordpress-site.com/blog example setting is not a valid setting...!) If not, the module will not be able to find valid JSON data from the WordPress site to display to you at /blog/.

@cdvv7788 - it might be a good idea to build out the error reporting to clarify this. Perhaps before displaying the JSONDecodeError, if WP_URL is set to the example URL, an output could clarify to the user that they need to change the example to a valid URL?

@kallewesterling Does the WP_URL needs to be on same domain? Its working when wp and django are both on localhost.

But when testing on a dev site, its not working when using wp site on separate domain.

Are you getting the same error message as above? Otherwise I think you should open a new issue!

@kallewesterling Actually im getting 404 in /blog/ page. I havent tried using wp_url from same domain

[kallewesterling]

That is a different problem and you should open a new issue.
