README
WP Plugin: No-Admin-Ajax
A WordPress plugin that changes the WP AJAX routine and rewrites the ajax requests to custom url rather than /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php
back-end.
Install
Recommended installation to WP project is through composer:
$ composer require devgeniem/wp-no-admin-ajax
Use cases
- Rewrite all admin-ajax.php queries into custom url so you can allow
/wp-admin/
to only certain IP-addresses. - You can use this to confuse bots which might try to use vulnerabilities in admin-ajax.php.
Configuration
Variables
This plugin url is by default /no-admin-ajax/
. You can use filters to change it or you can set the default value by yourself by using:
// This turns the no admin ajax url to -> /ajax/ define('WP_NO_ADMIN_AJAX_URL','ajax');
Notice: Value set here can be filtered too, this just sets the starting point for the custom url.
Notice 2: After plugin installation and other changes be sure to refresh your permalinks by just going to Settings > Permalinks > and saving it without any modification.
Hooks & Filters
You can customize the url by using filter no-admin-ajax/keyword
.
<?php // This changes /no-admin-ajax/ -> /ajax/ add_filter( 'no-admin-ajax/keyword', 'my_custom_no_admin_ajax_url' ); function my_custom_no_admin_ajax_url( $ajax_url ) { return "ajax"; }
You can run commands before ajax calls by using no-admin-ajax/before
or no-admin-ajax/before/{action}
<?php // Writes log entries after hearthbeat action for debugging do_action( 'no-admin-ajax/before/heartbeat' , 'my_custom_no_admin_ajax_debug' ); function my_custom_no_admin_ajax_debug() { error_log( 'DEBUG | heartbeat action was run by: '.$_SERVER[“REMOTE_ADDR”] ); }
