Is there a bug in the Ajax implementation?

  • I’ve been getting reports of hidden 500 errors when people try to sign up using the widget on a client’s site.

    On investigation the response from the Ajax submission is the “Cheating huh?” page.

    Looking into the code, I suspect there are a couple of problems:

    The JS variable ajax_url is being set to trailingslashit(home_url()) and “caught” with an init action, when it should really use the standard Ajax API (admin_url( 'admin-ajax.php' ) ).

    But that aside, that ajax url is set in an object called “mailchimpSF_main_js” but then the Javascript code (in mailchimp.js) tries to reference “mailchimpSF.ajax_url”

    Also, there is at least one other plugin on the site that outputs a correct ajax url, I don’t know whether that interferes or not.

    For now, I have disabled JavaScript in the plugin and the 500 errors have stopped.

  • Hi there Mike,

    Thanks for all that info – I’m going to pass this along to the plugin developers. They’ve been working on the plugin lately and perhaps this is a concern they can address. If you’re able to, you could also provide more details on the errors you were seeing on the plugin’s GitHub page here: https://github.com/crowdfavorite/wp-mailchimp

    Let me know if there’s anything else I can help with!
