[Plugin: Job Manager] “Invalid argument” when adding new site

  • I’ve got multiple websites running off a single WP3 install. The Job Manager plugin is activated Network-wide.

    Before I create a new website, everything is fine. But whenever I create a new website, and go into any of the Job Manager pages (in the back-end) for any website, an error message appears at the top:

    Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/wordpress/www/wp-content/plugins/job-manager/admin.php on line 70

    Additionally, the text area box for Job Information is missing. (Which isn’t surprising, given what line 70 is.)

    If I uninstall the plugin, and then activate it again, then everything is back to normal. Obviously, I don’t want to uninstall the plugin whenever I need to create a new blog, so any fixes to this problem? Thanks.

    Lines 70-74 in /admin.php:

    foreach( $options['job_fields'] as $id => $field ) {
		if( 'textarea' == $field['type'] ) {
			$textareas[] = $id;
		}
	}

    I haven’t played around with MultiSite at all, so I’m not quite sure how it handles plugins. I’ll look into it.

    As a temporary work around, is it possible to view the plugins list as the new site? If so, deactivate/reactive Job Manager in that view, it should create the new options for the site.

    Activating the plugin on an individual basis, rather than Network Activate, seems to be a solution. Not ideal, but not really a problem either. Thanks for such a fantastic plugin.

    Good to hear that this is a work around.

    I’ll setup a test MS install and see if I can get it working with network activate.

    I’ve looked into this further, it seems there’s a bug in WordPress, it doesn’t call the activation routine on plugins when a new site is created:

    There is a plugin to help with that, available here:

    Unfortunately, Job Manager isn’t quite compatible with this plugin at the moment, that will be fixed in the next release of Job Manager.
