Wordpress plugin works only for logged users

I'm using Dave's Wordpress Live Search.

The problem I have, is live search - it works only for logged users. If i'm logged in, plugin works fine. I found this line:

'ajaxURL' => admin_url('admin-ajax.php', is_ssl()),

which mean plugin is using admin-ajax.php and i think unlogged users haven't access to it.
I tried to define ajaxURL without , is_ssl():

'ajaxURL' => admin_url('admin-ajax.php'),

but didn't help.

Is it a problem with access to wp-admin/admin-ajax.php? How can i change it?

This is old, but I was looking into this. Rather than changing the core, you can duplicate the hooks of the plugin and add ''no_priv'' versions. I am sure this is more elegant than duplicating a file in the core.

See: http://codex.wordpress.org/AJAX_in_Plugins

From that page:

"Ajax on the Viewer-Facing Side As of WordPress 2.8, there is a new hook similar to 'wp_ajax_my_action':

'wp_ajax_nopriv_my_action' executes for users that are not logged in. So, if you want it to fire for both visitors and logged-in users, you can do this:

add_action('wp_ajax_my_action', 'my_action_callback');
add_action('wp_ajax_nopriv_my_action', 'my_action_callback');"

In your case I would clone admin-ajax.php and rename it and remove all admin related conditionals from the file.

More specific:

  • Make sure to include the new cloned file where required instead of the old one.
  • Make sure also you are changing only the permissions levels from the file.
  • The cloned file just put in the same directory as it is the admin-ajax.php, "wp-admin"

Good luck! :)
