I’m desperately trying to get ajax callbacks to work without success. I believe I have the the correct semantics, but since it doesn’t work, I’m not so sure. I have ‘wp_ajax_edit_title’ for the action trigger. The $action in the request is ‘action=edit_title’.

add_action(‘wp_ajax_edit_title’, ‘bp_ group_wiki_edit_title’);
I’m not sure if the ajaxurl is correct. I have: http://my_domain.com/wp-load.php

edit: Spending hours searching through code… Couldn’t someone mention:
1) BP sets ajaxurl to wp-load.php
2) BP replaces any URL with ‘wp-load.php’ with the referrer in the header !!!
3) In function bp_core_add_ajax_hook() is where the mangled uri is converted back to an ajax request.
4) bp_core_add_ajax_hook() executes on action bp_init.
5) My plugin inits using action ‘bp_init’. Since my plugin inits after BP, the BP action ‘bp_init’ processes AJAX request before my plugin loads,
6) A bug has been filed for the race condition.

WORKAROUND:
1) If possible move all ajax add_action() calls to the Plugin’s initialization function.
2) Trigger the initialization function using ‘bp_init’ action @ priority 5

Hopefully this works for you as well as it did for me
