WP Ajax broken if enabled for logged in users

    Hi.
    If the settting “Also optimize for logged in users?” is enabled, the
    ajax settings from the WP object is set to an empty object.

    You can try the following on the browser console:
    wp.ajax.settings

    It should be set to something as follow:
    {url: “/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php”}

    The problem arise if you use built in WP ajax functions like wp.ajax.send(…).
    Since the url is not defined, it defaults to the current page url, breaking the ajax functionality.

    Didn’t check your plugin code in deep but looks like it’s affecting the WP javascript global object.

    Disable the setting is enough to prevent this issue but is there a way to have autoptimize enabled for logged in users without affecting some core functionlality?

    Thank you.

    do you have “also aggregate inline JS” on? did you try with that option disabled?

    From the codex-page you linked;

    The wp object is used to namespace much of WordPress’s custom Javascript functionality on the admin and editor screens

    (emphasis mine).

    Taking into account AO is not active on admin screens, this can only occur on an editor-screen when using front-end editing (e.g. with a page-builder), in which the solution indeed is to simply un-tick the “also optimize for logged in users”.

    hope this clarifies,

    Hi Frank, aggregate inline js didn’t work for me.
    I was manually loading wp-util js on front-end which is loaded by default in back-end, so my solution was to add that file as an exception in AO settings instead of disable AO for logged in users which in my case makes a big difference.

    Thank you.
