My problem is - I have a form "X" which requires login to submit. I am doing the ajax login before submitting the form "X". But after ajax login, the nonce of the form "X" remains same. How can I update the nonce of form "X" once the user is logged in via ajax login? I am doing like the following code -
My form "X"
Now, before user can submit the form "X" above, user have to be logged in. So user logged in via ajax login form as prescribed above.
But the nonce is getting updated also. I am verifying and returning ajax login success data as below -
You can see that after successful login via ajax form, I am again creating the nonce with same nonce action of form "X" which is
wp_create_nonce('action_name')
.But unfortunately, this nonce is not working when I am trying to authenticate form "X" submission after the ajax login. I check the browser and found the nonce is different. I will appreciate any help form the community here.
Thanks!
