Cannot work while logged into Wordpress. Why?

The API logs the API user in. Which would mess up the current session for the actual user. This is essentially what was happening to some users of the API.

The restriction could theoretically be removed. i.e. if the current user is logged in, it could just do things as that user...However, the API was designed for 3rd party apps to connect to Woo... Like from another server. Not on the same server/same page.

To remove the restriction, just comment out the 2 returns in template_redirect, and then in class-wc-json-api we need to modify logUserIn.

I have noticed a growing desire for people to use the api for some kinds of widgets on the page, as it avoids having to deal with messy WP Ajax and plugin stuff.

I am very open to removing this restriction.
