Description

Even though in settings I have checked that anyone can post comments (+ approval), server returns 401 unauthorized on these requests.

However, those posts do get saved in the database and they do show up in the article section in wp-admin, but the email notification about new post is not sent.

If the approvals are turned off, it seems like the comments are rejected altogether and they do not show up in the wp-admin.

{"code":"rest_comment_login_required","message":"Sorry, you must be logged in to comment.","data":{"status":401}}
