Here is my code snippet :

wp_enqueue_script( 'ajax-script', get_stylesheet_directory_uri().'/js/myajax.js', array('jquery'), 1.0 );
wp_localize_script( 'ajax-script', 'ajax_object', array( 'ajaxurl' => admin_url( 'admin-ajax.php' ) ) );

My problem is when ever i use that ajax_object it won't work. Also myajax.js file won't load to the site. But works fine in Admin panel.

Why that enqueue script & localize script not working in front end ?

  • If the file is not in the sourcecode of the frontend, please be sure your enqueue-function is not placed in a conditional (like is_admin). Can you confirm this?

    what action hook do you use to enqueue the scripts? you should be using the wp_enqueue_scripts action on the front end.

  • @Milo wp_head works as well (wp_enqueue_scripts is better)

  • Thanks for the comments guys. But actually enqueue script is not at all my problem. I could have added that to the header manually. My problem is Ajax request not working. Getting this error in console. ReferenceError: ajax_object is not defined $.post(ajax_object.ajaxurl, {

  • @JitheshKt - you couldn't add it to the header manually, as your localize call would fail because your 'ajax-script' handle wouldn't exist. so have you used the wp_enqueue_scripts action or not? update your question to show the full code you've used to enqueue and localize.

May be try get_template_directory_uri() instead of get_stylesheet_directory_uri(), if your js file is in your theme, it should work frontend.

little help I know^^
