I have a simple pop up form code written in javascript. It is in js/script.js folder inside themes folder.
I am using jquery ajax method to communicate with a php file to store data in db.
The php file is in themes folder. Also i would like to use the wordpress functions in that php file.
The display of pop up and form works fine. But when i submit it, i get 404 error. I am confused as to how to tell wordpress to include this php file.
THanks
EDIT: I could make the jquery code work by giving the full URL to the php file. However, now i want to be able to use the wp functins in that php file.
If you want to able to use the WordPress functions the your ajax call should be to the wp-admin/admin-ajax.php and you should use
wp_ajaxhook,take a look at What’s the preferred method of writing AJAX-enabled plugins? I posted a nice example of how to do that there.
