File path for AJAX script (in Wordpress)

Question

I use this jquery-ajax script to send email:

    $.ajax({
        url: process.php,    
        type: \"POST\",
        data: data,        
        cache: fa         


        

Answer 1

That's not the way to implement ajax in wordpress. All ajax request should be made to admin-ajax.php.

In your template file:

In your js:

$.ajax({
        url: ajaxurl,    
        type: "POST",
        cache: false,
        data: data + '&action=sendmail' //action defines which function to use in add_action
});

in your functions.php:

function send_my_mail(){
#do your stuff
}

add_action('wp_ajax_sendmail', 'send_my_mail');
add_action('wp_ajax_nopriv_sendmail', 'send_my_mail');
