js file in content/themes/themename/js/main.js in this file I am trying to do an ajax call to this file content/themes/themename/lib/file.php
this is how my ajax call looks like
$.ajax({
type: 'POST',
url: 'file.php',
success: function(result) {
var data = jQuery.parseJSON(result);
console.log(data.name);
}
});
but the url is not working anyone can help me out?
I have tried ../lib/file.php too
$.ajax({
type: 'POST',
url: '<?php echo get_stylesheet_directory_uri();?>/lib/file.php',
success: function(result) {
var data = jQuery.parseJSON(result);
console.log(data.name);
}
});
maybe you can try with the path that relative to the root directory ex :
$.ajax({
type: 'POST',
url: '/wordpress_site/wp-content/themes/themename/lib/file.php',
success: function(result) {
var data = jQuery.parseJSON(result);
console.log(data.name);
}
});
I fixed it by doing this in my body tag of my header.php file
data-theme-url="<?php echo get_stylesheet_directory_uri(); ?>
and use the url in my javascript like this
url: $('body').data('theme-url') + '/lib/file.php',
