 * I’m getting this strange error. ([http://screencast.com/t/ONBeSwdRM](http://screencast.com/t/ONBeSwdRM))
 * So somehow the request to the admin-ajax.php file isn’t successful.
 * I have cross checked these things:
 * 1. The url to admin-ajax.php is correct and no issues there
 * 2. I directly typed in the url of admin-ajax.php into browser and getting 0.
 * Is it some configuration on server end??
 * Kindly assist me in fixing the issue

 * Hello!
    I have done adding this to the .htaccess inside the /wp-admin/ folder
 *     ```
       <Files admin-ajax.php>
           Order allow,deny
           Allow from all
           Satisfy any
       </Files>
       ```
   
 * But the error message “Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status
   of 404 (Not Found)” still show up and giving me infinite load time 🙁

 * When I go to [http://socialmingles.com.au/wp-admin.php](http://socialmingles.com.au/wp-admin.php)
   I get a login screen that is different from the normal WordPress login screen.
   Where does that screen come from?
 * It doesn’t appear that you have the wp-admin directory password protected so 
   adding the code wasn’t necessary.
 * If it’s from a plugin it may be that that plugin is interfering with the access
   to admin-ajax.php.

 * Hi Matt Knowles!
 * The login screen you are seeing I believe is generated by the s2membership plugin.
   It is one of the feature of the plugin to provide this kind of login layout.
 * Hope it helps

 * Try disabling that plugin and see if it solves the problem. If not, try disabling
   all your plugins and see if the problem goes away.

 * I cannot disable the s2membership plugin.
 * It would cause a lot of problems if I deactivate that.
 * This site is built with that plugin and the previous developer do the codings
   needed for this site.
 * I don’t know what to do for this site. It leads me nowhere 🙁
