Verify Nonce returns false – Request Nonce returns correct value

2 Views

I’m trying to verify that the nonce I created exists but for some reason it keeps returning false, why is this happening?

Creating my nonce:

<?php wp_nonce_field('test_slider_action','test_slider_options_nonce'); ?>

Verifying my nonce exists: 

if($_POST && wp_verify_nonce($_REQUEST['test_slider_options_nonce']))
    echo "TEST";

if I dump my $_REQUEST I get the correct value, but if I dump my wp_verify_nonce it returns false. If it matters, both my $_POST check and form / nonce creation is on the same page. What else do I need to get it to verify?

  1. You need to pass the action to check your nonce against, wp_verify_nonce has two parameters.

    if($_POST && wp_verify_nonce($_REQUEST['test_slider_options_nonce'],'test_slider_action'))
    echo "TEST";
