Ajax 200 Parsererror on Username entry in backend Add Member page

[swisspenelope]

Hi

As far as I know this does not cause any problems, but I have noticed the above behaviour recently on the site I am putting together. As I wanted to be sure it was not something to do with my tweaks in SWPM, I made a copy of my site on local, deactivated SWPM, then installed 3.03 as is without my tweaks, then went to the backend to add a new member … and the same thing happens.

Either way, the member still gets added and there appears to be no issue arising from this, but I just wondered …

Thanks if you can clarify,
SP

Hi, do you have a plugin or theme that uses Ajax?

[swisspenelope]

apart from SWPM, you mean?

At the bottom of the ADD view you have:`
$.validationEngineLanguage.allRules[‘ajaxUserCall’][‘url’] = ‘<?php echo admin_url(‘admin-ajax.php’); ?>’;
$.validationEngineLanguage.allRules[‘ajaxEmailCall’][‘url’] = ‘<?php echo admin_url(‘admin-ajax.php’); ?>’;
$.validationEngineLanguage.allRules[‘ajaxEmailCall’][‘extraData’] = ‘&action=swpm_validate_email&member_id=<?php echo filter_input(INPUT_GET, ‘member_id’); ?>’;

$(“#swpm-registration-form”).validationEngine(‘attach’);`

i haven’t checked – were you going to suggest disabling it?

What I meant was to check to see if you have any other plugin that also uses Ajax or your theme. If you disable all your other plugins except this one do you still see that error?

Right! Very interesting. De-activating the other 6 plugins changed nothing, but choosing a different theme (I use a child theme of Attitude, a very good theme for tweaks), this behaviour goes away.

Thanks for the learning experience. I will ignore the parsererror for now.

Just for information:

I diffed my Attitude theme files against the Attitude child theme files my site uses, because I suspected that a problem I was having with inserting media in WordPress also came from my child theme. I isolated the guilty file – it had code in it I had written to created new menus, and by first removing it all then putting it back almost line by line, I finally solved the Media Insert problem AND the Parsererror message has gone away! Still not sure what exactly was upsetting everything, as my custom menus are back in that file, and working, but the problems have not come back with them.

Live and learn …

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.
