Wordpress admin-ajax.php 400 Failed to load


Am using this script 'WordPress CPT Ajax filtering' found here on GitHub.

Everything work as i need it apart from the 'All' filter, click this and all post disappear and i get the error below, but the other cat filters work.

XHR failed loading: POST "**/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php". send @ jquery.min.js:2

anyone experience the same-thing or know how to get it to work?

Solution

  • I think the way you are getting your ajax URL here : https://gist.github.com/chadamski/410f9deb4c9d7bfe51beef5720c5991d#file-ajaxcptfilter-txt-L42 is wrong.

    Use on of the two options.

    Option 1

    In your header add this:

    <script type="text/javascript">
        var ajaxurl = "<?php echo admin_url('admin-ajax.php'); ?>";
    </script>
    

    Now use this ajaxurl in your ajax request.

    Option 2

    Use script localization.

    wp_localize_script( 'FrontEndAjax', 'ajax', array(
        'url' => admin_url( 'admin-ajax.php' )
    ) );
    

    Here FrontEndAJAX has to be replaced with name of your js file where the ajax code is written.

    If set correctly, you can get your url as : ajax.url

    Fix action

    I am not sure if you are running this on the frontend or just the admin area. If its on the frontend you need to add this.

    add_action( 'wp_ajax_load-all-filter', 'prefix_load_all_cat_posts' );
    add_action( 'wp_ajax_nopriv_load-all-filter', 'prefix_load_all_cat_posts' );
