<p>My use case is to allow content authors to write help pages in WordPress.<br />
This content is fetched and embedded into a single page application hosted on another domain.</p>
<p>AJAX requests to this site from another are typically disallowed by the browser’s security model.<br />
To permit legitimate uses the requesting browser may include an Origin header containing its domain.<br />
This plugin uses the Origin header to decide whether to allow the request or not.<br />
Allowed domains can be specified in the plugin’s Settings page.</p>


WP-CORS

Allows AJAX requests from other sites to integrate content from your site using the CORS standard.

<h3>What is CORS ?</h3>
<p>CORS (Cross-Origin Resource Sharing) is a security feature implemented by web browsers that blocks web pages from making requests to a different domain than the one that served the web page. This is done to prevent malicious websites from making unauthorized requests to other websites on behalf of the user.</p>
<p>However, there may be legitimate reasons for a web page to make requests to a different domain, such as accessing a third-party API or including resources from a CDN. In these cases, the server that the web page is making the request to can include special headers in its responses that tell the browser to allow the web page to access the resources.</p>
<p>If a web page tries to make a request to a different domain and the server doesn’t include the necessary CORS headers, the browser will block the request and the web page will receive a CORS error. This can be frustrating for developers, as it can prevent them from accessing resources they need to build their websites or applications.</p>
<h3>Does the cors error occur on WordPress?</h3>
<p>Yes, CORS errors can occur on WordPress websites. WordPress is a content management system (CMS) that runs on a web server and serves web pages to users through a web browser. As with any other web page, CORS errors can occur when a WordPress website tries to make requests to a different domain and the server doesn’t include the necessary CORS headers in its responses.</p>
<p>There are several reasons why a WordPress website might encounter CORS errors. For example, the website might be using a plugin or theme that makes requests to an external API or includes resources from a different domain. In this case, the server hosting the API or resources would need to include the necessary CORS headers in its responses to allow the WordPress website to access them.</p>
<p>Another possible cause of CORS errors on WordPress websites is if the website is hosted on a server that has CORS headers disabled. In this case, the website would not be able to make requests to any other domains, even if the server hosting those domains includes the necessary CORS headers.</p>
<p>To fix CORS errors on a WordPress website, you will need to either configure the server to include the necessary CORS headers or modify the website to make requests to a different domain that does include the necessary headers. It’s also possible to use a plugin or other tool to enable CORS support on your WordPress website.</p>
<h3>How do I enable cors without a plugin in WordPress?</h3>
<p>There are a few different ways you can enable CORS support on a WordPress website without using a plugin.</p>
<p>Modify the server configuration: If you have access to the server that your WordPress website is hosted on, you can enable CORS by adding the necessary headers to the server’s configuration. The exact steps for doing this will depend on the type of server you are using and how it is configured.</p>
<p>Be aware that modifying the server configuration or adding code to your WordPress website can have unintended consequences, so it’s a good idea to test any changes thoroughly before deploying them to a production environment.</p>
<h3>How does your plugin help with CORS support?</h3>
<p>This plugin adds support for CORS to your WordPress website, allowing you to specify which domains are allowed to access your website’s resources, and which types of requests are allowed.

<h3>Testing Your Setup</h3>
<ol>
<li>
<p><strong>Source Site</strong>:</p>
<ul>
<li>Install and activate the <strong>Enable CORS</strong> plugin.</li>
<li>Install and activate the <strong>Cors Tester</strong> plugin.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>
<p><strong>Target Site</strong>:</p>
<ul>
<li>Install and activate the <strong>CORS Shortcode Plugin</strong>.</li>
<li>It will add a page with a short code <code>[cors_display]</code></li>
<li>Edit and save the page content as follows:<br />
 <code>php<br />
[cors_display base_url="http://source-site.com"]</code></li>
<li>If you don’t provide a <code>base_url</code>, it will default to the target site’s URL. So cors will be failed.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>
<p><strong>Testing</strong>:</p>
<ul>
<li>Visit the page where you added the shortcode. If everything is set up correctly, the current time data from the <strong>Source Site</strong> will be displayed.</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ol>
