@ Jess -- Sorry, I changed some things in my theme and the download link disappeared from the plugin page. It's back now. By the way, this plugin is also available on the WordPress website.

Hi! Is this plugin still available for download? Maybe I haven’t had enough caffeine yet this morning but I can’t see a download link. I’m hoping it works for me as I’m not quite ready to upgrade yet.

Thanks!

Charles, the plugin wass not designed to work in WP2.5 (and especially not in WPMU as far as I am concerned, because I did not research the problem in that application at all). WP2.5 uses an entirely different authentication method for AJAX actions than previous versions. Thus, using the plugin in WP2.5 is actually going to break all AJAX stuff (so don’t).

As for debugging AJAX problems, FireBug is an extremely useful extension. It allows you to see what is sent in an HTTP request and what is returned. Using this information and the WP code, it is possible to pinpoint the exact problem.
Unfortunately, there is only one fun part about debugging: finally finding a working solution.

Hi Bas, Not sure the WP team has entirely resolved the problem, I have just had a hell of a week sorting out an AJAX posting bug which ended up being a problem with the hardened php extension on an installation of WPMU 1.5.1 (I also tested a new fantastico install of WP 2.5.1). Turned off the extension, turned off the bug. More details here – I’d be very interested to hear your thoughts on what might have been the problem – other than me just being a Dilbert . Best Charles.

@ Steven — Schakel de plugin uit, je hebt hem niet meer nodig in WP 2.5

Hee Bas, ik heb gebruik gemaakt van je plugin maar na het updaten werkte hij helaas niet meer in 2.5. Heb jij misschien een oplossing? Ik hoop dat je me kan helpen. Alvast bedankt.

@Miller — As far as I know, WordPress and Feedburner are not linked via AJAX. Not quite sure what you mean, though.
Perhaps your blog just got really popular. See it from the bright side!

On another note….. I noticed that my feedburner stats have skyrocketed since updgrading to 2.5 – there must be an AJAX compatibility issue there as well. Maybe a next project for you.

Hey Bas,

Interestingly, I was still having the ‘you don’t have permission’ error after updating to 2.5. Not only did it effect firefox, but it also spread to safari and IE. I thought I was screwed! I de-activated your plugin, and now everything works like a charm. Just wanted to pass the word along to those who still have it activated.

Thanks for letting users know the latest status on your plugin! I have been using AJAX Referer Fix for quite awhile, now that I have upgraded to 2.5 and after reading this post, I am going to retire this plugin. However, I want to thank you for providing me with this plugin in times of need.
