"State" drop-down not populated when "Country" changed in public search

[Wes Reimer]

On my public member search on WordPress, there is a JavaScript/AJAX syntax error when you change the Country drop-down, causing the Province/State drop-down to not get updated (see screenshot).

If I click Search anyway (after selecting a Country), then the states or provinces DO get populated. However, if I then select a province and click Search again, the results are not filtered by province and the province field has no selection UNLESS/UNTIL I do a Shift+Reload (in Firefox and Chrome). This is after turning off smart group caching and varnish caching.

Posting here in case it's something I'm doing wrong, and also, I'm not familiar with the Issue tracker yet (it's a bit daunting, although I did search there first to see if this is a known issue).

This bug also occurs on my public Member Signup and Renewal contribution page.

I found a work-around for my member directory search however: I realized I don't need the Country drop-down for this particular directory, and there is an option under Administer > Localization to show the states of only one country when the Country select is not used on a profile.

Are you able to replicate this on http://wordpress.sandbox.civicrm.org

Thank you for replying Karund. Yes, I just did a quick test: I changed the Localization settings to include Canada and its provinces. So now if you go to the Membership page (http://wordpress.sandbox.civicrm.org/membership-page/) and change the Country it just says "Loading..." for the State.

In the Firebug Net panel I see this error in the response for the ajax call:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function wp_get_current_user() in /home/webeditor/jenkins-node/workspace/buildkit-demos.civicrm.org/build/wp-sandbox/wp-includes/capabilities.php on line 1342

In fact, you can look at the request/response directly:

http://wordpress.sandbox.civicrm.org/?page=CiviCRM&q=civicrm/ajax/jqState&&_value=1228 (United States)
http://wordpress.sandbox.civicrm.org/?page=CiviCRM&q=civicrm/ajax/jqState&&_value=1228 (Canada)

Appears to be related to this issue http://forum.civicrm.org/index.php?topic=29169.0 which was fixed (https://issues.civicrm.org/jira/browse/CRM-12916), and I confirmed that the Drupal version works here: http://drupal.demo.civicrm.org/civicrm/event/register?reset=1&id=3

So this is probably unique to WordPress, which the error above does seem to indicate. I guess I should learn how to file a bug.

Somebody already filed a bug and patch for this: https://issues.civicrm.org/jira/browse/CRM-14631

I confirmed that it works.

Another update: the fix only works if the page is not encrypted. The ajax call is http: so it doesn't work if your page is https:

[Wes Reimer]

Tried to "Force Secure URLs" to get the ajax to work, but it seems like there's a bug with that too (see http://forum.civicrm.org/index.php/topic,28043.msg120304.html and https://issues.civicrm.org/jira/browse/CRM-14744 and https://issues.civicrm.org/jira/browse/CRM-13227). I will post a separate topic.
