Continuing/Moving my Topic Reply from Upgrade to Ghost v4, but a lot of 503 error : I’m creating a new Topic for this issue because my post there relates not to an upgrade to v4, but to a v4 fresh install. (When I had successfully Upgraded the site from v3 to v4, at first everything worked – that is…

@denvergeeks the 401 response is expected with current implementation. We are looking into other ways of handling this request, but for current version: “it’s not a bug, it’s a feature” :slight_smile:
