Specifically AVOID using “hashbang” (“!#”) in order to make AJAX powered WordPress sites crawlable. You really don’t want to use the “hashbang” method on a WordPress site. The “!#” is more like a hacky patch for sites that cannot provide a static analog to it’s AJAX version. Its use in general is not recommended by … Read more
WP Ajax runs both public as well as closed calls via admin.php. This means that you don’t have access to the whole wp environment, such as do_shortcode(), which is inside /wp-includes/shortcodes.php. This still can get worked around (and as well for oEmbed). See the following example that you could use in your AJAX callback to … Read more
If you do not die, execution will continue and might generate extra output which might break whatever information you are trying to send from the server to the browser. Strictly speaking, you might not need to die, but there is very little point in taking the risk. In more general terms, WordPress Ajax shows its … Read more
you can use FormData an example: let form_data = new FormData; form_data.append(‘action’, ‘myAction’); form_data.append(‘first_name’, ‘my first name’); form_data.append(‘phone’, ‘my phone’); axios.post(myVars.ajax_url, form_data).then(function(response){ console.log(response.data); })
I have observed the same issue with contact-form-7 a while back. But note that registering shortcodes based on is_admin is doing_it_wrong (see gmazzap`s answer) There are the two reasons that seem legitimate at first sight (and why they are wrong): (Unlikely) The plugin author tried to optimize the script to only register shortcodes when they … Read more
Did you manage to get the editor working without your javascript included? If so try to create a template what includes a working tinymce editor and then rewrite your javascript to copy that template using the WithDataAndEvents argument of the jQuery clone() function set to true. For example: $(‘.cloner’).click(function(){ $(‘.container’).append($(‘.template’).clone(true).removeClass(‘hidden’)); });
The second parameter for tb_show is the URL, so you’ll want to use something like.. <?php $ajax_url = add_query_arg( array( ‘action’ => ‘getTheContent’, ‘query_var1’ => ‘value1’, ‘query_var2’ => ‘value2’ ), admin_url( ‘admin-ajax.php’ ) ); ?> tb_show(tag, ‘<?php echo $ajax_url; ?>’ ); I’d guess you need to pass the action and any additional query vars manually(as … Read more
Here’s a very lengthy answer of my own question that goes beyond just addressing the question of generating unique nonces for subsequent Ajax requests. This is an “add to favorites” feature that was made generic for the purposes of the answer (my feature lets users add the post IDs of photo attachments to a list … Read more
1) Why use admin-ajax.php instead of encoding your json in a separate file like themes/example/json.php and encode your data there? Using admin-ajax.php means that the WordPress Core is loaded and available. WIthout that, you would need to hand load the files you need, which is a complicated process and prone to failure if you don’t … Read more
wp_send_json() handles all parts of returning content in an AJAX call. First off, it sets the content type of the returned content to application/json with the proper charset. Secondly, it automatically calls wp_die() after sending the JSON result, which is necessary in an AJAX call in WordPress. You could consider using wp_send_json_success() for successful requests … Read more
