    <script type="text/javascript">
        var ajaxurl = 'https://WEBSITE.TLD/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php';
    </script>

    Why do you use this code in the front end of the website ? This is in a incognito browser window and not logged in. Strange that you need a file from the admin backend.

    Hi j,

    That file is used for the front end as well… It’s what controls/allows AJAX requests, including on the front end.

    That line is just adding the URL for the AJAX requests, so that things like getting the available time slots for a given date is available on the front-end.

    ok but can you not load it in the middle of the page and load it in the footer like on the link you posted?

    Thanks for the suggestion. We’ll run some tests with that in mind and include any necessary modifications to this in a future update.
