Hi thanks again for this. I just wrote a really long reply but it disappeared. I didn’t have any luck even with the basic example in ‘AJAX in plugins’
Just to check theres not anything glaringly obviously wrong heres my code…
In functions.php
add_action( 'admin_enqueue_scripts', 'my_enqueue' );
function my_enqueue() {
wp_enqueue_script( 'ajax-script', get_template_directory_uri() . '/js/my_query.js', array('jquery') );
// in JavaScript, object properties are accessed as ajax_object.ajax_url, ajax_object.we_value
wp_localize_script( 'ajax-script', 'ajax_object',
array( 'ajax_url' => admin_url( 'admin-ajax.php' ), 'we_value' => 1234 ) );
}
In my_query.js
jQuery(document).ready(function($) {
console.log('myquery');
var data = {
'action': 'my_action',
'whatever': ajax_object.we_value // We pass php values differently!
};
// We can also pass the url value separately from ajaxurl for front end AJAX implementations
jQuery.post(ajax_object.ajax_url, data, function(response) {
alert('Got this from the server: ' + response);
});
});
and at the bottom of admin-ajax.php
// Same handler function...
add_action( 'wp_ajax_my_action', 'my_action' );
function my_action() {
global $wpdb;
$whatever = intval( $_POST['whatever'] );
$whatever += 10;
echo $whatever;
wp_die();
}
I just get a 400 error

But I think I’m going to give up and find a proper php coder to help me. Its really not working for me
