Getting AJAX load more to work with custom Wordpress related posts Query?

I"m using the tutorial from this blog post to implement Ajax Load More functionality. https://rudrastyh.com/wordpress/load-more-posts-ajax.html
I've successfully implemented this on my archive page for all blog posts. However, I've got several "RElated Posts" sections that use custom WP Queries that I can't get to work. I've tried the solution in this comment: https://rudrastyh.com/wordpress/load-more-posts-ajax.html#comment-1055
It loads new posts, but they are not adhering to the argumenets of the custom query (specifically displaying posts only in the same category).
The custom query is working (it displays 4 related posts from the same category). When i'm loading more, it is not respecting pagination (it's loading 6 posts instead of 4) and it is not respecting the query (it is loading posts not in the same category).

Update Woocommerce product gallery with Ajax

I'm trying to do a dynamic product gallery based on colours in woocommerce product page. When I click on one colour, example on red, i should see Red Gallery's photos.
To do this i replaced all woocommerce gallery block with a new one created by ajax ( who have same classes of old gallery).
The loading of new photos work fine and I get gallery photos based on colour.
But when ajax load new gallery the slider don't work, I think because the woocommere js, who create the slider, is read only on page load.
I think I should reload some Woocommerce JS Function to recreate slider with his functions, but I don't know how.
This is the php file, which one I create a new gallery, called from ajax:
global $product;
$current_id = "";
if(isset($_POST['prodid']) && $_POST['prodid'] != "" ) {
$current_id = $_POST['prodid'];
$product = new WC_Product($current_id);
}
$columns = apply_filters( 'woocommerce_product_thumbnails_columns', 4 );
$post_thumbnail_id = $product->get_image_id();
$wrapper_classes = apply_filters( 'woocommerce_single_product_image_gallery_classes', array(
'woocommerce-product-gallery',
'woocommerce-product-gallery--' . ( $product->get_image_id() ? 'with-images' : 'without-images' ),
'woocommerce-product-gallery--columns-' . absint( $columns ),
'images',
) );
?>
<figure class="woocommerce-product-gallery__wrapper">
<?php
if ( $product->get_image_id() ) {
$html = wc_get_gallery_image_html( $post_thumbnail_id, true );
} else {
$html = '<div class="woocommerce-product-gallery__image--placeholder">';
$html .= sprintf( '<img src="%s" alt="%s" class="wp-post-image" />', esc_url( wc_placeholder_img_src( 'woocommerce_single' ) ), esc_html__( 'Awaiting product image', 'woocommerce' ) );
$html .= '</div>';
}
echo apply_filters( 'woocommerce_single_product_image_thumbnail_html', $html, $post_thumbnail_id ); // phpcs:disable WordPress.XSS.EscapeOutput.OutputNotEscaped
do_action( 'woocommerce_product_thumbnails' );
?>
</figure>
This is the ajax function called on box colour click
function changeGallery(selected_gallery, productID) {
jQuery(function($) {
var select_color = selected_gallery;
var xhttp;
$.ajax({
url : 'https://mysite.it/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php', // AJAX handler
data : { action : 'load_gallery', gallery : select_color, prodid : productID },
type : 'POST',
beforeSend: function() {
},
success : function( result ){
if( result ) {
$('.woocommerce-product-gallery').html(result);
//Reload here some woocommerce JS functions?
}
}
});
});
}

The way to solve issues like this is to look at the WooCommerce source code to see how the plugin initialises the gallery to begin with. Based on this, I think you need to do something like:
jQuery( '.woocommerce-product-gallery' ).each( function() {
jQuery( this ).wc_product_gallery();
} );
See Github: single-product.js for reference.

I had same problem. The dafoxuk answer is correct, you need to reinitialize ProductGallery class on the .woocomorce-product-gallery. The problem was that this element already has a flexslider entity attached to it. To solve this, just remove that element (.woocomorce-product-gallery) and create a new identical one. (Flexslider doesn't have a way to detach itself from the element as far as I know)

Load more on button click scroll (no plugin)

I have a custom taxonomy in WordPress called Case studies.
Home.php is a page. Within home.php I have ran a loop to get all the case studies:
<?php
// only display 5 posts at first, then load 5 more on button click
$args = array('post_type' => 'case-studies', 'posts_per_page' => 5 );
$the_query = new WP_Query($args);
if ( $the_query->have_posts() ) {
echo "<div id='customers' class='case-studies-container'>"; // If there are results, create a single div in which all case studies will sit.
// run a loop to get data from all the posts that exist
while ($the_query->have_posts() ) {
$the_query->the_post();
tp_get_part( 'templates/snippets/case-study-card',
array(
'heading' => get_the_title(),
'subheading' => get_field( 'case_study_subheading'),
)
);
}
echo "<div><input type='button' id='loadmore' value='Load more'/></div>
</div>" // case-studies-container closed;
wp_reset_postdata();
} else {
// no posts found
}
?>
On #loadmore button click, I want it to load 5 more posts from the DB and display them. To accomodate this, I have the following JS within *home.php*
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){
$('#loadmore').click(function(){
// alert('Hello world');
// load more case studies here
jQuery(function($){
var column_width = $(this).data('column-width');
var max_num_pages = $(this).data('max-num-pages');
var ignore = $(this).data('featured');
var post_type = $(this).data('type');
var button = $(this),
data = {
action:'loadmore',
query: loadmore_params.posts, // that's how we get params from wp_localize_script() function
page : loadmore_params.current_page,
security : loadmore_params.security,
columns : column_width,
exclude : ignore,
max_num_pages : max_num_pages,
post_type : post_type
};
$.ajax({
url : loadmore_params.ajaxurl, // AJAX handler
data : data,
type : 'POST',
beforeSend : function ( xhr ) {
button.text('Loading...'); // change the button text, you can also add a preloader image
},
success : function( data ){
if( data ) {
button.text( 'Load More' ).prev().before(data); // insert new posts
loadmore_params.current_page++;
$('.case-studies-container').find('.case-card').last().after( data ); // where to insert posts
if ( loadmore_params.current_page == max_num_pages )
button.remove(); // if last page, remove the button
// you can also fire the "post-load" event here if you use a plugin that requires it
// $( document.body ).trigger( 'post-load' );
} else {
button.remove(); // if no data, remove the button as well
}
},
error : function(error){ console.log(error) }
});
});
});
});
</script>
And the following AJAX written in ajax-loaders.php:
<?php
function ajax_handler(){
check_ajax_referer('load_more', 'security');
// prepare our arguments for the query
$args = json_decode( stripslashes( $_POST['query'] ), true );
$args['paged'] = $_POST['page'] + 1; // we need next page to be loaded
$args['post_status'] = 'publish';
$args['post__not_in'] = explode(',',$_POST['exclude']);
$args['max_num_pages'] = $_POST['max_num_pages'];
$cols = $_POST['columns'];
$type = $_POST['post_type'];
query_posts($args );
if( have_posts() ) :
// run the loop
while( have_posts() ): the_post(); ?>
<div class="<?php echo ($cols ? 'col-'.$cols : 'col-3') .' '. ($type === 'case-study' ? 'case-studies' : 'article__item'); ?> grid__item" id="<?php echo get_the_id(); ?>">
<?php
tp_get_part( 'templates/snippets/case-study-card',
array(
'filterable' => true,
'post' => $post,
'type' => get_cpt_term(get_the_id(), 'case-studies')
)
);
?>
</div>
<?php
endwhile;
endif;
die;
}
add_action('wp_ajax_loadmore', 'ajax_handler'); // wp_ajax_{action}
add_action('wp_ajax_nopriv_loadmore', 'ajax_handler'); // wp_ajax_nopriv_{action}
?>
With all these files set up, on button click, nothing happens? If I uncomment out the alert, the alert occurs which means the trigger is occurring, but unsure on where my load more functionality is going wrong?

How to add inline css/js inside a wordpress shortcode

I'm working on creating a shortcode which is meant to change the css and js dynamically for that shortcode based on the situation. Now the problem is that I not getting a clue about how to use add_action() inside a add_shortcode(). Let me give you an example snippet code so that you guys can better understand me:
add_shortcode('example', function( $atts ) {
//extracting the shortcode attributes
extract( shortcode_atts( array(
'value1' => null,
'value2' => null,
'value3' => null
), $atts ) );
//Now here I wll do my code for the shortcode
// But the shortcode needs some js and css to work
// so, I'm trying like this
//For the CSS
add_action('wp_head', function() {
echo '<style type="text/css">
.class {
background-color: '. $value2 .';
}
</style>';
});
//For the JS
add_action('wp_footer', function() {
echo '<script type="text/javascript">
var a = '. $value3 .'
</script>';
});
});
Now obviously it is not working, so I was hoping if any of you can guide me how to the similar thing in the proper way.
If you can, please help instead of negative voting the question.

There should be a better way to do this, but currently to just make it work, remove the add_action() part, just make a string with your code and return it:
add_shortcode('example', function( $atts ) {
//extracting the shortcode attributes
extract( shortcode_atts( array(
'value1' => null,
'value2' => null,
'value3' => null
), $atts ) );
//For the CSS
$result = '<style type="text/css">
.class {
background-color: '. $value2 .';
}
</style>';
//For the JS
$result .= '<script type="text/javascript">
var a = '. $value3 .'
</script>';
return $result;
});

Yii update Button label

I'm implementing a like button in yii,when i click on the button it calls a controller action which increases the number of likes by 1, i show the changed value in the Button label,how do i do it?
here is my view,what do i change ?
<?php $id =$data->id;
$foo = $data->likes;
echo CHtml::ajaxbutton($foo.' '.'Likes',
array('post/like/'.$id),
array(
'type'=>'POST',
'success'=>'js:function(data){
')
);
?>

You should try the following
<?php $id =$data->id;
$foo = $data->likes;
echo CHtml::ajaxbutton($foo.' '.'Likes',
array('post/like/'.$id),
array(
'type'=>'POST',
'replace'=>'#buttonId')
),
array(
'id'=>'buttonId'
);
?>
However, I suggest using sending parameters as data for AJAX like this:
<?php $id =$data->id;
$foo = $data->likes;
echo CHtml::ajaxbutton($foo.' '.'Likes',
array('post/like),
array(
'type'=>'POST',
'data'=>array("id"=>$id),
'replace'=>'#buttonId')
),
array(
'id'=>'buttonId'
);
?>

http://www.yiiframework.com/doc/api/1.1/CHtml#ajax-detail
replace: string, specifies the selector whose target should be replaced by the AJAX
