I had a similar problem. If you have performed all the steps mentioned on the plugin's documentation page, then there might be a problem with the account you're using to get the token.

Below is a video I created which details the whole installation / setup process for the plugin. Try following the steps I outlined and test again.

Try to edit your .htaccess file by adding the following lines

RewriteRule ^(.*) - [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%1]SetEnvIf Authorization "(.*)" HTTP_AUTHORIZATION=$1

and your wp-config.php by adding

define('JWT_AUTH_SECRET_KEY', 'your-top-secret-key');

do not forget to pass your JWT_token in header API call, like

*Authorization : 'Bearer ' + YOUR_JWT_TOKEN*
