# JSON API returning no response

 * I am working to get the json api plugin working properly on a fresh install of
   wordpress.
 * I am using jquery to instigate a json request and Firebug is reporting that the
   request is in fact sent, but there is absolutely no response. Firebug is displaying
   the GET request in red in the console with a status code of 200 OK. Its kinda
   bizarre. I’ve tested to make sure I can make other json requests and they come
   through fine.
 * The jquery I’m using is this:
 *  $.ajax({
    url: “wordpressinstall/?json=1”, dataType: “json”, success: function(
   data) { console.log(data); } });
 * Has anybody experienced a similar problem?

 * Alright. I believe I’ve found the answer to my dilema here.
 * I have wordpress installed in a directory underneath the main domain aka: wilfordwelch.
   com/wordpressinstall. I had created a page under the main domain (wilfordwelch.
   com/blog_titles) which was outside of the wordpress system. But I was using javascript
   to call into wordpressinstall.
 * Apparently, a fit is thrown when this happens. Apparently, if your going to make
   json requests you must be within the same directory. The exception, I assume,
   is if you use jsonp with a callback.

 * Or, another option is to set uri handling to default in wordpress and stick with
   the example.com/?json=1, etc, etc approach.
