WordPress POST AJAX call, var_dump($_POST) NULL and AJAX response empty when inside ob_start

by

If you want to use the same function you have to detect ajax call (echo) from shortcode (return) like this :

function get_attr_href() {
  ob_start();
  var_dump($_POST);
  include 'articlesTabs.php';
  $html = ob_get_clean();
  if(wp_doing_ajax()){
    echo $html;
    wp_die();
  }
  return $html;
}
