jQuery - 'this' selector doesn't work inside callback function [duplicate]

Answer 1

$(this) exists in the click event but function(data) { is not part of click event rather callback function. So save the $(this) in some variable for instance that for later use.

Try this:

$('.delete-post').click(function(e) {
    e.preventDefault();
    var that = $(this);
    $.post(that.attr('href'), { }, function(data) {
        // $(this).closest('.post').remove();
        that.closest('.post').remove();
    });
});
