 * Hi there,
 * Whenever we try to vote on an idea, it keeps giving us the error “OOps, something
   went wrong” — is anyone else getting this issue?

 * No 🙂
 * Is the user logged in ? Any other plugins activated ? What is the active theme?

 * Yes — the user is logged in, and I’ve tried deactivating all other plugins and
   the issue still persisted.

 * It’s a custom theme the previous developer created.

 * Is there a way for me to see what is the actual error causing the issue?

   same error.

 * Are you using https ?
    Eg https in the backend and regular http on the front 
   end. You can try to see What’s going wrong using the WordPress debug mode WP_DEBUG
   set to true in wp-config.php Then with Chrome Browser display the inspector activate
   its network tab and see the response content that admin-ajax.php is returning

 * I’m using HTTPS on both the front and back end of the site.
 * I’ve turned on WP_DEBUG, but there aren’t any errors displayed that relate to
   the plugin.

 * I think it’s the https thing. I’ll try to understand why this is happening.

 * Hi [@asitha](https://wordpress.org/support/users/asitha/)
 * Sorry for the delay, i think i’ve found the issue. In the file `wp-idea-stream/
   includes/ideas/functions.php` at line 872 (see [https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/wp-idea-stream/trunk/includes/ideas/functions.php#L872](https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/wp-idea-stream/trunk/includes/ideas/functions.php#L872)),
   could you try to remove the `, 'relative'` part i’m using in the admin_url() 
   function so that it will look like (once removed) :
 * `'ajaxurl' => admin_url( 'admin-ajax.php' ),`
 * If it’s fixing your issue, i’ll run a bunch of tests on multisite to see if no
   regressions and will include this fix in next version.
 * Thanks in advance for your help.

 * Unfortunately that did not work either. I even tried to change it from ‘relative’
   to ‘https’ which did not help either.

 * That is amazing!
 * If you go in WP Admin > Medias are you able to use the new UI to fetch the medias,
   or are u able to edit a comment directly from WP DashBoard. In other words are
   you able to use AJAX in back end ?

 * Ajax works fine in the backend. I was able to fetch media etc from there.
 * As for the network tab in inspector, when I click to vote it shows admin-ajax
   being loaded each time I click it. Returns a status 200 OK.

 * Were you able to figure anything out on this?
