Wordpress / Elementor How to pass data from one site to another


I have a problem. I have one page that has a slider and a button. On the second page, I would like to read what value the user sent. I tried to do it using cookies and session, but the problem occurs when I want to display the data on the second page. The second page is as if delayed and shows the previous value.

Solution

  • Looks like the second page is opening before your ajax call finishes processing. I recommend opening the window to the second page, only after your ajax call returns. Change button code to be:

    <button id="button">Open New Tab With SESSION</button>
    

    Change jQuery bits to be:

    $(document).ready(function() {
        
        $('#button').click(function() { 
            $.ajax({ 
                type: 'POST', 
                url: `${window.location.origin}/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php`, 
                data: { action: 'set_session_variable', buttonValue: test.value }, 
            success: function(response) { 
                console.log('SESSION set successfully');
                console.log(test.value);
                window.open('https://*****.com/second_page/', '_blank');
            } 
                
            }); 
            
        });
