ajax response is working without wp_ajax action - ajax

Question

HTML:
<form enctype="multipart/form-data" action="" method="POST" style="margin-top: 20px; ">
<div class="row btts-form-group clearfix">
<div style="width: 20%; float: left; margin-right: 1%;">
Image : <input type="file" name="image[]">
</div>
<div style="width: 27%; float: left; margin-right: 1%;">
Title : <input type="text" name="title[]">
</div>
<div style="width: 22%; float: left; margin-right: 1%;">
More Info : <input type="text" name="more_info[]">
</div>
<div style="width: 22%; float: left; margin-right: 1%;">
Button : <input placeholder="Put the url.." type="text" name="button_link[]">
</div>
<div style="width: 5%; float: left; ">
<input type="button" class="button button-primary add_more" value="+">
</div>
</div>
<input type="submit" class="button button-primary" value="Save Change" style="margin-top: 20px;">
</form>
Here is my simple jquery code to append a row of a form:
$(document).ready(function(){
$('body').on('click', '.add_more', function(e){
$.ajax({
url : absbBtToS.ajax_url,
type : 'get',
data : {
action : 'new_slider_html',
security : absbBtToS.check_nonce
},
success : function( response ) {
$('.btts-form-group:last').after(response);
//console.log(response);
//jQuery('.rml_contents').html(response);
},
error : function(error){
console.log(error);
}
});
e.stopImmediatePropagation();
});
});
Ajax Action :
add_action( 'wp_ajax_new_slider_html', 'new_slider_html');
function new_slider_html(){
include( plugin_dir_path( __FILE__ ) . 'admin/partials/absb_bt_to_s-admin-display.php');
if( !check_ajax_referer( 'absbBtToS-nonce', 'security' ) ){
wp_send_json_error('error!');
}
show_slider_form_input();
}
And show_slider_form_input(); definition is as follows which is inside absb_bt_to_s-admin-display.php:
function show_slider_form_input(){?>
<div class="row btts-form-group clearfix" >
<div style="width: 20%; float: left; margin-right: 1%;">
Image : <input type="file" name="image[]" />
</div>
<div style="width: 27%; float: left; margin-right: 1%;">
Title : <input type="text" name="title[]" />
</div>
<div style="width: 22%; float: left; margin-right: 1%;">
More Info : <input type="text" name="more_info[]" />
</div>
<div style="width: 22%; float: left; margin-right: 1%;">
Button : <input placeholder="Put the url.." type="text" name="button_link[]" />
</div>
<div style="width: 5%; float: left; ">
<input type="button" class="button button-primary add_more" value="+" />
</div>
</div>
<?php }
Everything is cool and working as expected. But if I remove following code:
add_action( 'wp_ajax_new_slider_html', 'new_slider_html');
function new_slider_html(){
include( plugin_dir_path( __FILE__ ) . 'admin/partials/absb_bt_to_s-admin-display.php');
if( !check_ajax_referer( 'absbBtToS-nonce', 'security' ) ){
wp_send_json_error('error!');
}
show_slider_form_input();
}
It works as usual. As far I know the above code is only responsible to push response. I searched in my entire plugin no duplicate code is there. My question is how the ajax response come from? I am apologizing if I am asking something like nonsense. I just started to learn Ajax with wordpress.

Answer 1

I had the same "issue" but when I searched the whole theme folder I found that I am declaring add_action wp_ajax in other function file.
