I'm building a website that is using WordPress as the CMS. I have an AJAX script on a page, but I don't know how to reference (or where to store) my PHP script to be called since the URLs don't follow the folder structure. Anyone know how to go about this?

Treehouse Guest TeacherCheck out our how to build a plugin course. It gets into working with Ajax. You'll just add your code to the functions.php file instead of the plugin file but it should still work pretty much the same.

6,799 Points@Zac Gordon: I appreciate the response, Zac. Is that the only way to go about this? I'm building a search engine on top of Wordpress and I just need to run a PHP script. I just want AJAX to pull the data, because the data doesn't load unless I refresh the page. I was hoping I didn't have to watch the whole plug-ins course, and skipping to the AJAX section didn't help.
