Hey folks, the WP site I manage is a pretty complex one and we’ve just switched to SlickStack (and are very happy about it), but we don’t want to keep feeding the complexity into the app anymore, so we’re moving some parts to external apps.

We need to have authorization linked to the WP backend, and will use WPGraphQL to do it. They also have a plugin named “wp-graphql-jwt-authentication”.

To make the plugin work they say we need to add an Authorization header to nginx. Is this possible with SlickStack? If not, do you suggest any other method to do so? I really need to be able to authenticate with WP backend in this external app so we can make the migration.

Thanks!

@OP do share your solution please! 🥲

what is WPGraphQL used for exactly? I heard about it long time ago but not sure about the use case…

No need to configure anything else, slick stack works with WPGraphQL out of the box, along with the JWT token plugin.

The purpose of WPGraphql is to query the WP DB using GraphQL. It’s useful to reduce fetch size, etc etc
