Hide job listings from WP search

Hi there, @darkeghost,

I’m going to answer your questions one by one as follows ??

I want to set it up so that the job listings do not show up in a wordpress search. I have a dedicated page for all the job listings and I don’t want the jobs to show up when a user uses the search field in the rest of the site.

Job Listings are custom post types, so if you want to exclude job listings from your general site search, you will need to create a custom search that does not include this custom post type. This goes a bit out of our scope of support, however, I found some information from third-party sites that can be helpful for you:

– https://www.webtipblog.com/exclude-custom-post-type-search-wordpress/

I have also noticed that I can search expired job postings which I also do not want to happen.

Can you double-check that you have these two relevant options unchecked (see in the screenshot linked below) on the Job Listings -> Settings -> Job Listings page in your dashboard?

Let me know if that helps!

Awesome thanks for the help. I implemented the solution given from this link https://www.webtipblog.com/exclude-custom-post-type-search-wordpress/ and it worked great.

Just a side note you may want to look into, I hade both options selected in my settings from the screenshot you linked and expired listings were still appearing in the wordpress search. They were not showing up in the job listing search/page though.

Hi there, @darkeghost,

That is actually a known issue with the search and WordPress Job Manager that has been reported here: https://github.com/Automattic/WP-Job-Manager/issues/1884

I’m adding a link to this post to the issue so the dev’s will be aware of it, you can also subscribe to the issue for further updates!
