    What best practice to handle user location in website when ajax request via admin-ajax.php processed, (single, category, posts etc)?

    Because, now its not working for me.

    <?

add_action( 'wp_ajax_swp_global_request', 'swp_global_request' );
add_action( 'wp_ajax_nopriv_swp_global_request', 'swp_global_request' );

function swp_global_request(){

if (is_single()){
 // not working
}

} ?>

    Hi misterixas111,

    Requests to admin-ajax.php don’t have a “location” in the same way that theme template files do. None of the is_<condition>() functions related to WP_Query will give you anything except false in this setting.

    What exactly are you trying to accomplish?

    i had a similar issue, i loaded posts via admin-ajax but their comments and the $more content was missing.
    i echoed out is_single() and it was false, when loaded via ajax.
    so what you could do inside your template, is set the variable to true yourself like so:

    global $wp_query;
$wp_query->is_single = true;

    i guess in your case you have to submit a variable inside your request, that defines what condition you want to archive..

    Hi @jnz31,

    You should never directly modify the WordPress global variables. Changing the $wp_query variable in particular can have unexpected consequences elsewhere in your code.
