Import from wordpress json, admin permission denied

Help
1

I’m sure it’s my fault, but I can’t seem to import from a wordpress taxonomy json.

I get this:

[ERROR] Failed to import term "Nueva Trova":

      message: "You don't have permission to access this.",
      extensions: [Object]

  ],

  }
}

As I said, I have a token that is admin, and it’s granted read, but not write? Seems like admin should be able to do anything.

Maybe I’m missing something in the docs.

I finally figured it out, and it had to do with the fact that I was trying to write to categories but it was setup as category. I didn’t think of that, but I’ve adjusted my script and now it works. I will be open sourcing this on GIT when I’m done for anyone looking to export from wordpress with custom post types and importing/creating in Directus.
