Your url is definitely wrong. You are trying to access a server path instead of an url. $.post("/home/xxxxxxxxxxxx/public_html/wp-content/custom-php/votifier.php",. Can't you just use /wp-contents/custom-php/votifier.php? If you output something in your PHP file you could check whether or not it is reachable by just entering the full url in your address bar bestlist.com/wp-contents/custom-php/votifier.php

| May 23, 2020 at 1:33 | comment | added | Himad | On the Firefox dev tools, go to network and select the AJAX request that gets sent when you use the button. What's the response status code? No message at all? If the path is wrong then you should at least be getting a 404 status code. | |
| May 23, 2020 at 1:30 | comment | added | ScottUSA | okay, I added that to the PHP script and nothing. I know the button is working. So, it has to be the JQuery. I checked page source and I can see my JQuery script in the header and it looks good. I guess I have to learn AJAX for WordPress. | |

Can you modify the PHP script and add die('Example'); as the first line? If your request is correctly going through you should see the message as the response.

| May 23, 2020 at 1:12 | comment | added | ScottUSA | regarding the AJAX Thanks. About the network tab: I'm using firefox. The WordPress site doesn't show anything, but the network tab for my localhost looks normal. Stats of 200, Method is post, domain is localhost | |

That's not the correct way to deal with AJAX requests in WordPress. You should hook to the wp_ajax_ action. Anyway, if you're using chrome, what does the network tab show about that request response?
