POST "admin-ajax.php" 400 in WordPress Multisite User Frontend Pages


I'm trying to use AJAX in the user frontend pages from a plugin in WordPress Multisite but the admin-ajax.php generates Bad Request 400 and always fails.

  1. Developing WordPress Plugin - AJAX in admin pages working good
  2. WordPress Multisite
  3. Test on Site_1

This is a part of my code and the output, I just shorten it, There's a class to instantiate the AJAX actions and another one after it to include the JS file using wp_enqueue_scripts action ..

Anyway the JS file included correctly and console.log function displaying all JS data object as you see in the code below, BUT it always fails and msg argument print Bad Request in statusText .. What I missed??

/* == AJAX Class == */
add_action( 'wp_ajax_wpmu_frontendpage', array( &$this, '_class_function' ) );
add_action( 'wp_ajax_nopriv_wpmu_frontendpage', array( &$this, '_class_function' ) );


/* 1. The JS file included correctly */
wp_register_script( 'wpmu/scripts/frontend/core', 'JS_FILE.js', 
    array( 'jquery' ), '1.0', true );

/* 2. Localize */
wp_localize_script( 'wpmu/scripts/frontend/core', 'wpmu_ajax', array (
    'ajax_url'  => esc_url( admin_url('admin-ajax.php') )
  )
);

/* 3. Enqueue */
wp_enqueue_script( 'wpmu/scripts/frontend/core' );


== JS FILE ==
(function ($) {
'use strict';
$.wpmu = $.wpmu || {};
$.wpmu.ajax_vars = {
    ajax_url: wpmu_ajax.ajax_url,
};
$(document).ready(function () {
    /* 1. DEBUG */
    console.log($.wpmu.ajax_vars);
    /* 2. DEBUG - OUTPUT */
    -- ajax_vars:
    --    ajax_url: "http://localwp.com:90/wpmu/SITE_1/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php"

    /* ========= Main Code ======== */
    $(document.body).on('click', '#my-wrapper .submit', function (e) {
        e.preventDefault();

        var server_data = {
            action: 'wpmu_frontendpage',
        };

        $.ajax({
            method: 'POST',
            async: true,
            url: $.wpmu.ajax_vars.ajax_url,
            data: server_data,

        }).done(function (response) {
            alert('success');
        }).fail(function (msg) {
            console.log( msg );
        });

        return false;

    });
});

})(jQuery);

Solution

  • To help others, I found the solution, That's because I made an IF condition check if not admin page and the {wp_ajax_} actions MUST triggered globally, I thought that it's good to instantiate the AJAX class when it needed in the frontend user pages only.

    -- Old Code -- WRONG

    if( ! is_admin() ) {
       /* Instantiate the AJAX class */
       add_action( 'wp_ajax_wpmu_frontendpage', array( &$this, '_class_function' ) );
       add_action( 'wp_ajax_nopriv_wpmu_frontendpage', array( &$this, '_class_function' ) );
    }
    

    -- Fix

    /* Instantiate the AJAX class without NON-Admin pages condition */
    add_action( 'wp_ajax_wpmu_frontendpage', array( &$this, '_class_function' ) );
    add_action( 'wp_ajax_nopriv_wpmu_frontendpage', array( &$this, '_class_function' )
