Description
AJAX does not work in themes in theme preview https://wp-themes.com/ website.
I do not know why it is disabled, maybe for security reasons. But this makes many themes look broken.
Please allow AJAX requests.

The reason for why this doesn't work as expected is that the previewed theme isn't used for wp-admin. For security purposes, I don't think I'm comfortable changing that at present.
It looks like the REST API works, so themes would probably be better using that regardless.
Due to the small number of themes this probably breaks, and the fact that the previewer breaks themes in all sorts of ways, I'm marking this as a wontfix, although with the caveat that hopefully one day with a previewer rewrite we'll get a real preview environment for it.
Hi and welcome to Trac!
Can you provide a link to an affected theme so we can see what can be done?
Ajax requests are not blocked as far as I'm aware, but due to how the previewer is built, it's entirely possible that it doesn't operate as expected.
