AJAX Errors in WordPress Admin

Description
AJAX-based functionalities (e.g., media uploads, custom metaboxes) fail in the admin panel.

Causes
Invalid admin-ajax.php calls.
Plugin conflicts.
Nonces not verified.

Solution

  • Debug AJAX Calls:
    Use the browser's developer tools to inspect the network request. Look for errors in the response.

  • Verify Nonce Validation:
    Ensure proper nonce verification in AJAX functions:

if (!isset($_POST['nonce']) || !wp_verify_nonce($_POST['nonce'], 'your_action')) {
    wp_send_json_error('Invalid request');
}
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode
  • Increase PHP Limits: Increase execution time and memory limit in php.ini:
max_execution_time = 300
memory_limit = 256M
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode
