  • Many developers and top agencies have learned how to use WordPress as a headless CMS, where WordPress stores the content, but Modern JavaScript driven websites and applications display the content and provide customized interactivity.

    One of the key components to using WordPress as a Headless CMS involves authenticating to allow full read, write and delete access to everything the WordPress REST?API provides.

  • The different types of authentication available

  • How to work with the JWT Authentication Standard

  • How to build login and logout forms
