Events do not appear in IE 8 & 9 when admin and frontend schemes are different

  • When FORCE_SSL_ADMIN is true, admin_url() returns an HTTPS URL. If is_ssl() is false (i.e. the frontend page is accessed over HTTP), there is a scheme mismatch that prevents the call to admin-ajax.php from working in IE 8 & 9. This is a limitation of XDomainRequest used in IE < 10 – see #7 on https://blogs.msdn.com/b/ieinternals/archive/2010/05/13/xdomainrequest-restrictions-limitations-and-workarounds.aspx.

    Steps to reproduce (WP FullCalendar 0.8.4):

    1. Add define('FORCE_SSL_ADMIN', true); to wp-config.php
    2. Add [fullcalendar] to a page
    3. View page over HTTP in Chrome or Firefox – events appear
    4. View page over HTTP in IE 8 or 9 – events do not appear
    5. View page over HTTPS in IE 8 or 9 – events appear

    Fix: modify localize_script() in wp-fullcalendar.php:

    //$js_vars['ajaxurl'] = admin_url('admin-ajax.php');
if( is_ssl() ) {
    $js_vars['ajaxurl'] = admin_url('admin-ajax.php', 'https');
} else {
    $js_vars['ajaxurl'] = admin_url('admin-ajax.php', 'http');
}

    This can be filtered in your theme or plugin instead:

    add_filter( 'wpfc_js_vars', 'my_wpfc_js_vars', 10, 1 );
function my_wpfc_js_vars( $js_vars ) {
	if ( is_ssl() ) {
		$js_vars['ajaxurl'] = admin_url( 'admin-ajax.php', 'https' );
	} else {
		$js_vars['ajaxurl'] = admin_url( 'admin-ajax.php', 'http' );
	}
	return $js_vars;
}

    Simpler version:

    add_filter( 'wpfc_js_vars', 'my_wpfc_js_vars', 10, 1 );
function my_wpfc_js_vars( $js_vars ) {
	$js_vars['ajaxurl'] = set_url_scheme( $js_vars['ajaxurl'], null );
	return $js_vars;
}
