Use sessions <?php session_start(); // your fomrfields $post_fields = array( ‘key_one’, ‘key_two’, ‘key_three’ ); $form_data = array(); // copy needed form data from $_POST array foreach ( $post_fields as $key ) if ( isset( $_POST[$key] ) $form_data[$key] = $_POST[$key]; // save your form data in a session if no form data was saved before if … Read more
This is the final code I am using. Thanks to webaware for pointing out that I was not using the correct datatype. jQuery(document).ready(function($) { $(‘.audience_intel_container .close’).click(function(){ $(‘.audience_intel_container’).fadeOut(‘fast’, function(){ }); }); $(‘.audience_intel_container button’).click(function(){ console.log(‘clicked’); var formdata = $(‘#audience_intel_form’).serialize(); $.ajax({ type : “post”, dataType : “html”, url : audience_intel_js.ajaxurl, data : ‘action=audience_intel&’+formdata, success: function(response) { alert(response); $(‘.audience_intel_container’).html(response); … Read more
I would like to recommend you to read The Rewrite API: The Basics article. Especially pay attention to the Add Custom Endpoint section where you can find how to create what you need.
I would suggest that you remove the php from the form and instead write out the relevant HTML in your shortcode code. Loop through wp_dropdown_categories and create a dropdown Loop through clocations and build your collection of checkboxes Drop the wp_nonce_field and code up something simple yourself using a hidden field. Essentially the code doesn’t … Read more
If your form has been incorporated into WordPress as a page template, which I encourage, then get_permalink(8); // or 12 should do it. If not, then http://example.com/?p=8 and http://example.com/?p=12 should always work. http://example.com/?page_id=8 and http://example.com/?page_id=12 uses the proper parameter for pages but ?p= works fine when I test it.
I suggest you use <input type=”submit” /> or <button type=”submit” />. <input type=”button” /> is valid but doesn’t submit the form by default (without you adding any ajax/js magic to it.
Use wp_enqueue_style to add additional stylesheets to a theme. Additionally, you can use it with a Child Theme to preserve your edits in case the original theme is updated. function wpa_form_style() { wp_enqueue_style( ‘my-form-styles’, get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . ‘/my-form-styles.css’ ); } add_action( ‘wp_enqueue_scripts’, ‘wpa_form_style’ ); or if you only need your styles for a specific page, conditionally … Read more
You can change the form action to admin-ajax.php?action=your_action and this will work, but it’s not best practice. The ajax submition should be added via javascript, not by changing the form action (also your js function should prevent the form from submiting normally, returning false – see here an example: http://net.tutsplus.com/tutorials/javascript-ajax/submit-a-form-without-page-refresh-using-jquery/), and php handling of the … Read more
In my experience, the only way to check the values of the fields is by directly accessing the $_POST vars: if( ( isset( $_POST[‘upload_image’] ) && !empty( $_POST[‘upload_image’] ) )
Reviewing wp_dropdown_users() there is apparently a ‘selected’ parameter. So in theory, you could probably pass the posted value in here. // set to the posted value, but you might be able to do this differently, depending on how you are storing the data $selected = isset($_POST[‘author’]) ? $_POST[‘author’] : false; $args = array( ‘name’ => … Read more
