Description
Currently, to handle AJAX requests for both logged-in and non-logged-in users in WordPress, developers need to define two separate action hooks:
add_action('wp_ajax_action_name', 'function_name'); // For logged-in users
add_action('wp_ajax_nopriv_action_name', 'function_name'); // For non-logged-in users
This can be repetitive and cumbersome, especially when dealing with multiple AJAX actions. To simplify this process, I propose introducing a new action hook that applies to both logged-in and non-logged-in users.
Proposed Solution:
Introduce a new hook wp_ajax_all_$action
that combines both wp_ajax_$action
and wp_ajax_nopriv_$action
hooks, allowing developers to define a single action for both user states.
add_action('wp_ajax_all_action_name', 'function_name'); // For all users
Benefits:
- Simplifies the code for handling AJAX requests.
- Reduces redundancy and potential errors in defining multiple hooks.
- Improves developer experience and code maintainability.
