Hi there,

I posted a while back about my site not returning EE_Event data when retrieving post information:

https://eventespresso.com/topic/cant-create-instance-of-ee_event-since-update/

I haven’t managed to revolve this but have narrowed it down to being related to the calls being made via an Ajax request. If I run the below code normally within a pageload it runs fine and extends the post object to include the EE_Event object.

$wp_query = get_posts(array('post_type'=>'espresso_events','suppress_filters'=>false));
        var_dump($wp_query);

But if I call the same code via an Ajax request using WordPresses admin-ajax.php functions it isn’t including the EE_Event object. This used to work prior to the last update.

My Javascript is:

 
$( '.home select[name="course_name"]' ).live('change',function() {
		  //start search button spinner
			$('input[type=submit]#searchsubmit').hide();
			$('#spinner').show();
		  var courses_select = $('select[name="course_name"]');
		  var venues_select = $('select[name="venue"]');
                  venues_select.attr("disabled",true);
		  //get sub category values
		  //get tags
		  var data = {
			'action': 'sts_search_course_name',
			'course_slug': courses_select.val()
			};
			// since 2.8 ajaxurl is always defined in the admin header and points to admin-ajax.php
			$.post(ajaxurl, data, function(response) {
var results = JSON.parse(response); 

                                        if(results['error'] === 'no results'){
                                                alert('No results found');
                                                $('#spinner').hide();
                                                $('input[type=submit]#searchsubmit').show();  
                                        }else{
                                                //remove current options
                                                venues_select.find('option').remove();
                                                venues_select.append($("<option></option>")
                                                                    .attr("value","")
                                                                    .text("Choose one"));
                                                //set up venues
                                                $.each(results['venues'], function(k){
                                                    venues_select.append($("<option></option>")
                                                                    .attr("value",results['venues'][k].ID)
                                                                    .text(results['venues'][k].post_title));
                                                });
                                                venues_select.removeAttr("disabled"); 
                                                $('#spinner').hide();
                                                $('input[type=submit]#searchsubmit').show();    
                                        }
				
			});
		  
		  
	});

And my callback function fails even if I just run:

function sts_search_course_name_callback(){
    $wp_query = get_posts(array('post_type'=>'espresso_events','suppress_filters'=>false));
        var_dump($wp_query);
}

Any ideas on why this may be?

Really appreciate the help and sorry about the long delay in response, been away for a few weeks and only just picked this up again. All plugins and WordPress are up to date.

Thanks

Damian
