Wordpress admin-ajax results in Error 302 redirect

Question

I have customized a plugin to make some ajax calls to admin-ajax.php and it works great. I copied the code over to another site and it no longer works for users who are not logg

Answer 1

I know this is still a old question but you can have a look.

LETS DO THE CODE FASTER IF NOT INTERESTED ON EXPLANATION:

function redirect_non_admin_user(){
    if ( !defined( 'DOING_AJAX' ) && !current_user_can('administrator') ){
        wp_redirect( site_url() );  exit;
    } 
}


add_action( 'admin_init', 'redirect_non_admin_user' );

EXPLANATION: The reason for this problem is that either some of the installed plugins are redirecting the non admin users to homepage or any pages when they try to access wp-admin like http://localhost/project/wp-admin . So this causing the problems .

SO when you redirecting non admins from accessing admin ,you can use the following code.This will also work in admin ajax call in frontend.
