Question

I’m using Dave’s WordPress Live Search.

The problem I have, is live search – it works only for logged users. If i’m logged in, plugin works fine. I found this line:

'ajaxURL' => admin_url('admin-ajax.php', is_ssl()),

which mean plugin is using admin-ajax.php and i think unlogged users haven’t access to it.
I tried to define ajaxURL without , is_ssl():

'ajaxURL' => admin_url('admin-ajax.php'),

but didn’t help.

Is it a problem with access to wp-admin/admin-ajax.php? How can i change it?

Answer 1

In your case I would clone admin-ajax.php and rename it and remove all admin related conditionals from the file.

More specific:

• Make sure to include the new cloned file where required instead of
  the old one.
• Make sure also you are changing only the permissions
  levels from the file.
• The cloned file just put in the same directory as it is the admin-ajax.php, “wp-admin”

Good luck! 🙂
