What is the potential issue with using jQuery.ajax in a Wordpress plugin for internal linking?

Using jQuery.ajax in a Wordpress plugin for internal linking can potentially cause conflicts with Wordpress' built-in AJAX functionality. To solve this issue, it is recommended to use Wordpress' AJAX handling functions instead of directly using jQuery.ajax. This ensures compatibility with Wordpress and prevents any conflicts.

// Use Wordpress AJAX handling functions instead of jQuery.ajax
add_action( 'wp_ajax_my_custom_action', 'my_custom_action_callback' );
add_action( 'wp_ajax_nopriv_my_custom_action', 'my_custom_action_callback' );

function my_custom_action_callback() {
    // Your AJAX functionality here
    wp_send_json_success( $data );
    wp_die();
}
