 * Hi.
    I found the problem. My wp-admin was ip restricted to specific ip for security
   reason. Do you know if it’s possible to keep the security and make the plugin
   work for ip not in the white list ? I use IIS server.
 * Thank a lot.

 * admin-ajax.php in wp-admin, despite its name, is the preferred way to do AJAX
   in WordPress until the REST API is fully supported.
 * The WordPress Codex has an article on hardening WordPress, which talks about 
   how to secure wp-admin without blocking access to the AJAX endpoint. I don’t 
   know if any of the recommended articles talks about IIS, though. [https://codex.wordpress.org/Hardening_WordPress#Securing_wp-admin](https://codex.wordpress.org/Hardening_WordPress#Securing_wp-admin)
 * Hope that helps!
