This plugin can also add user data fields to validate token endpoint, Unfortunately, the jwt extension does not support using the filter for validate_token function, So You Will Need To Modify Some Codes Inside Jwt Plugin Codes Go To \ wp-content\plugins\jwt-authentication-for-wp-rest-api\public\class-jwt-auth-public. php And At The End Of Function That Named validate_token In Line 302 Edit This Code From : /** If the output is true return an answer to the request to show it */ return array( ‘code’ => ‘jwt_auth_valid_token’, ‘data’ => array( ‘ status’ => 200, ), ); To : $value = array( ‘code’ => ‘jwt_auth_valid_token’, ‘data’ => array( ‘status’ => 200, ) ); /** If the output is true return an answer to the request to show it */ return apply_filters(‘jwt_auth_validate_token’, $value, $token); Now you have done, the plugin should be able to add new values by adding a filter Note : If you updated the jwt plugin, you should again edit the code because it will be removed ### REQUIREMENTS [JWT Authentication for WP REST API Plugin](https://wordpress.org/plugins/jwt-authentication-for-wp-rest-api/) ## Screenshots * [[ * This is when get token response * [[ * This Is when get validate token response ## FAQ ### How To Use This Plugin ?
