Secure AJAX form handling in WordPress

Secure and simple AJAX form handling plugin for WordPress.

🔹 What this plugin does

This plugin demonstrates how to handle front-end form submissions in WordPress using AJAX without page reload, following WordPress coding and security best practices.

🔹 Why this plugin was built

AJAX-based forms are very common in WordPress themes and plugins.
This project was built to showcase:

  • Proper use of WordPress hooks
  • Secure AJAX handling with nonces
  • Clean separation of PHP and JavaScript

🔹 How it works (AJAX Flow)

  1. A form is submitted from the front end
  2. JavaScript captures the submit event
  3. Request is sent to admin-ajax.php
  4. WordPress triggers the wp_ajax hooks
  5. PHP processes and validates the data
  6. JSON response is returned to JavaScript
