Question 1

How to set up WP GraphQL CORS with Apollo Client for authenticated requests?

Accepted Answer

Configure your Apollo Client's HTTP link options to include credentials by setting `credentials: "include"`, as per the README. This ensures cookies are sent with GraphQL requests, enabling seamless authentication for accessing protected content.

Question 2

Is WP GraphQL CORS compatible with Next.js frontends?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it works with any frontend framework that can send cookies with requests. For Next.js, ensure your GraphQL client is configured to include credentials, and verify CORS headers are correctly set from the WordPress backend to allow the origin.

Question 3

WP GraphQL CORS vs WPGraphQL JWT Authentication: which should I use?

Accepted Answer

Use WP GraphQL CORS for simple, cookie-based authentication in headless WordPress setups where users are logged into WordPress. For stateless authentication, mobile apps, or APIs needing tokens, WPGraphQL JWT Authentication is better suited but requires more setup.

Question 4

How to enable draft post previews using WP GraphQL CORS?

Accepted Answer

In the plugin settings, enable "Send site credentials" and "Add Site Address to Access-Control-Allow-Origin header", then ensure your frontend is logged into WordPress. This allows GraphQL requests to access draft content, as explained in the documentation.

Question 5

Can I use WP GraphQL CORS with WooCommerce GraphQL extensions?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it should work since it handles CORS for all WP GraphQL endpoints. However, specific WooCommerce authentication or session handling might need additional testing, as the plugin primarily focuses on WordPress core authentication.

Question 6

How to filter cookies for security in WP GraphQL CORS?

Accepted Answer

Use the plugin's settings to specify which cookies are allowed, filtering out non-essential ones. This enhances security by preventing unauthorized cookie access, though it requires careful configuration to avoid breaking authentication.
