wp_nonce_field is breaking form for reasons unknown

wp_nonce_field() will echo its output by default, so set the $echo parameter to false: add_shortcode(‘signup_form’, ‘get_signup_form’); function get_signup_form() { $wp_nonce_code = wp_nonce_field( -1, ‘_wpnonce’, true, false ); $signup_form_code = <<<EOT <form method=”post” class=”popup-register” action=”/my-account/”> <p style=”text-align:center;”> <input type=”email” class=”popup-input” style=”width: 65%;” name=”email” id=”reg_email” placeholder=”Enter your email address”> <input type=”submit” class=”popup-input-submit button” style=”margin: 0; border: 1px … Read more

Cannot verify nonce

What you are doing wrong is using nonce in a context it was not intended to be used in. nonces should be used on web pages for logged in users, not just a random “it has something to do with security so it has to be right” kind of measure ;). If you need to … Read more

How to verify nonces in bulk?

Rest API: wp_verify_nonce() fails despite receiving correct nonce value

First, nonce for an action is the same when the user is not authenticated/logged-in. (because the user ID is always 0) Secondly, you’re getting false because you didn’t specify the nonce action which is wp_rest in your case: // Correct usage – a valid action name is set (wp_rest). wp_verify_nonce( $clientNonce, ‘wp_rest’ ); // Incorrect … Read more

So the correct usage would be: check_ajax_referer(‘fmsapi_refresh_nonce’, ‘security’ );

wp_nonce_field displaying twice

If you’re going to add the nonce field to an HTML string, you have to specify that you don’t want it echoed. That’s the fourth parameter; see https://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/3.3.1/wp-includes/functions.php#L1952 $formDisplay .= wp_nonce_field( ‘contact-form’, ‘_wpnonce’, true, false );

Form Security: nonce vs. jQuery

jQuery is a js library not a transport protocol, your data is sent via GET or POST, wether you use jquery or not. Think of it like this, sometimes it’s the user in the first frame, sometimes it’s javascript: Firstly nonces are not the same as sanitisation, they have different purposes Sanitisation is about verifying … Read more
