I’d suggest you to reach the person that was paid to biuld the site. This is expected to work, so this is a bug that they should fix. 🙂

Take care!

Hi James,
Hope you are doing well.

The approach that you described is correct and the expected bahavior would be to see a list of the posts on that category only.

Just to be totally sure, can you confirm from the post edit screen in the right sidebar that only the right category/categories are checked for the post?

If that is correctly set, then you may have some plugin or custom code messing with the main WP query.
I’d recommend disabling all the plugins and switching to a default WP theme.
If this solves the problem, then you can switch back to your theme and enable plugins one by one while testing until you spot the offending plugin.

Please let me know if that works for you.
Cheers!

Try this url https://developers.pinterest.com/tools/url-debugger/ and then add the url in the input field.

Keep me posted on what your hosting says. Make sure you send them that validator link to them.

Hi there @ob1knorrb,

You can use the url debugger provided by pinterest to get some more information:
https://developers.pinterest.com/tools/url-debugger/?link=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ob1knorrb.com%2Fcloaked-romulans%2F

As you can see, your server is returning a 403 status code (forbiden access).

You should check if you have any secuirty plugin blocking IPs.
Check your .htaccess and last contact your hosting support.

Hope this helps.

Cheers!

Hi @ashujangra,

The media tabs are created using JS.
This should put you in the right path https://www.ibenic.com/extending-wordpress-media-uploader-custom-tab/

Hi @gshell,

Hard to say what is wrong.

Please make sure g_name has a valid value.

Also, change this:

data : {
 'action': 'my-ajax-test',
 'ajax_guest_name' : g_name
},

into this:

data : {
 action: 'my-ajax-test',
 ajax_guest_name : g_name
},

In the browser dev tools, under the tab ‘Network’ you should be able to sniff the ajax request. There you can see if the parameters are being sent correctly.

BTW, if you visit localhost:81/wordpress/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php in your browser you will allways get a ‘0’ because you are not sending the ‘action’ parameter, therfore wordpress doesn’t find a handler for the request and returns 0 by default.
Try localhost:81/wordpress/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php?action=my-ajax-test and it should hit your handler.

Cheers!

Oh! You are consuming the REST API from JS. Didn’t get that part clear before.

In this case, it doesn’t make sense to use JS since it runs in the client side. You would need to hit and endpoint in site B to create the post, and you will need to deal with security.
Not practical.

I recommend to connect to site A from within WordPress server, using PHP.
Here you will find a nice tutorial on how to do it.

Sorry for the delay on my response. Let me know if you have further questions and I’ll try to address it as soon as I can.

Take care!

Pleased to help 🙂

1- An AJAX call is basically an asynchronous request from JS to an URL. In this case, the target URL is your WordPress site. That line is telling AJAX what is the URL to use. And WP built in AJAX url is always http://your-site-url/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php
If you are curious, you can take a look at that file and you will see that it parses the ‘action’ parameter and based on it will call the corresponding registered handler.
Now, you could hardcode that URL like this:
url : 'http://your-site-url/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php',
but that would work only for that specific site.
So, the right way to do it is to dinamically define this URL as a JS variable that lives in the global scope.
In your example, it is asumed that you have something like this in your PHP code when you enqueue your script:

wp_localize_script( 'my-script-handler', 'ajax_test', array(
		'ajax_url' => admin_url( 'admin-ajax.php' )
	));

This is defining an object called ‘ajax_test’ that contains the property ‘ajax_url’.

2- It looks correct, yes.

3- conole.log is a JS method to output data in the browser or JS interpreter console. Every browser has its own way to open the console. Here you have how to use the console in chrome https://developers.google.com/web/tools/chrome-devtools/console/
Along with the console, you have many other ‘dev tools’ available in the browser. One that is very useful when debugging AJAX, is the ‘Network’ panel. there you can see the request dispatched by JS and the responses. You also have a JS debuger. If you are familiar with debugging, there you can put a breakpoint in JS code and check what’s going on. That should help you to spot the missing details to get this working.

Let me know if you need furhter assistance.

Have a great day!
