Ajax & WordPress on Front End - Database not updating

Question

So I\'m working on a WordPress website. I\'m having a bit of a difficult time getting the user input to update the database.

JS:

var ID = $(this).at

Here is the issue, for ajax requests we use http://example.com/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php.
Also your data string should cantain &action=editItems ( same as you use in wp_ajax_editItems )

You ajax request code should look like...

  $.ajax({
    type: "POST",
    url: "/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php",
    data: dataString + '&action=editItems',
    cache: false,
    error: function(xhr, status, error) {
      var err = eval("(" + xhr.responseText + ")");
      alert(err.Message);
    },
    success: function (html) {
      $("#name_"+ID).html(name);
      $("#createDate_"+ID).html(createDate);
      $("#stats_"+ID).html(stats);
      $("#dateExpire_"+ID).html(dateExpire);
    }
  });
