I use this jquery-ajax script to send email:
$.ajax({
url: process.php,
type: "POST",
data: data,
cache: false,
...
in url
I call the php file that sends email, but ajax get it only if I specify the full path:
url: "http://www.domain.com/wp-content/themes/site_theme/templates/process.php",
but I have to use a syntax like this:
url: "../../templates/process.php",
or using a variable to declare in the html header/footer
Html
<script type="text/javascript">
var urlMail = '<?php bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/templates/process.php';
</script>
Script
url: "../../templates/process.php",
but with both the above cases the browser console retrieves this error:
POST http://www.domain.com/templates/process.php 404 Not Found 1.56s
Where am I wrong?
That's not the way to implement ajax in wordpress. All ajax request should be made to admin-ajax.php
.
In your template file:
<script type="text/javascript">
var ajaxurl = '<?php echo admin_url('admin-ajax.php'); ?>';
</script>
In your js:
$.ajax({
url: ajaxurl,
type: "POST",
cache: false,
data: data + '&action=sendmail' //action defines which function to use in add_action
});
in your functions.php:
function send_my_mail(){
#do your stuff
}
add_action('wp_ajax_sendmail', 'send_my_mail');
add_action('wp_ajax_nopriv_sendmail', 'send_my_mail');
Read about Ajax in Plugins

I would be recommended to you use system like Registry for save all "global" values in a one place.
Registry design pattern
There is my small jQuery plugin if this is may be interesting to you. GitHub rep
<script type="text/javascript">
$.Registry.set('urlMail', '<?php get_bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/templates/process.php';
</script>
And to get value from the Registry you must use $.Registry.get('urlMail');
I've solved using the code provided by RRikesh but replacing
data: data
with
data: data + '&action=sendmail'
