  here is how it set up:
  add_shortcode(‘abc_abc’,’shortfun’);

  function shortfun()
  {
  include ‘ajax_res.php’;
  }

  —————————-in ajax_res.php:——————————————–
  add_action(‘wp_ajax_ex_abc’,’ex_abc’);
  function ex_abc()
  {
  echo ‘here!’;
  die();
  }

  ——————————-js call——————————-
  jQuery.ajax({
  type : “post”,
  url : myAjax.ajaxurl,
  data : {action: “ex_abc”},
  success: function(response) {
  alert(response);
  }
  }

  why is the output always 0. and it looks like the function hooked onto the ajax call “ex_abc” is never called.
