Issues with translation

    Hi.
    Great plugin and easy to make custom styles on the page too. I have a strange problem though.

    I tried to translate the plugin using poedit. I wanted to change the term job to intern/internship, so I created an en_UK.po/mo. After applying the translation, i saw a strange issue that the job listing page started displaying on archive.php instead or the templates (override without changing the structure, as mentioned in your website). After removing add_theme_support( 'job-manager-templates' );
    it works fine, but then the category pages output url becomes something like this: xxx.xx/?job_listing_category=development (which should be xxx.xx/category/development). Is it something to do with my translation?
    Sorry about the long post. Can you please help me out?
    Thanks

    I’ve never seen this occur, but officially the plugin does not support archives. Themes add this.

    After changing strings that affect archives, you should go to Settings > Permalinks and save so the permalinks are refreshed.

    I have not created a custom archive page for jobs at all. Its just the single-jobs.php as the template in the root folder, and the job_manager folder that contain edited templates.
    Right now I am running without the theme_support() for job-manager-templates. I am not sure whether it has anything to do with the strings in the translation or not. I did try to refresh the permalinks by saving them over and over again. Nothing worked. Question: Is it likely to happen if theme_support function is turned off for the job-manager-templates, I mean the permalink issue for category pages?

    Oh, by the way, the permalink structure has changed for job-regions as well, which is showing xxx.xx/?job_listing_region=xxx

    So, this is the present scenario.
    With translation
    translated language file = on (en_BG)
    add_theme_support tag is present in functions.php
    Result: permalink structures are fine. Job listing page is being displayed in the archive.php template (generic template in the theme – it is based on _s )
    Without translation
    Everything works fine.
    With Translation and theme_support function
    Everything is fine, except the permalink structure for job-regions and job-categories

    I wonder if it has anything to do with the translation or not?
    Also, if it is so, can you tell me how do I get to remove the job string from the plugin to internship – just this word.
    Can’t find any help for this problem anywhere.
    Thanks

    I just checked it with twenty-fifteen theme. The problem is present there as well.
    In the exact way as mentioned above.

    Its just the permalink that confuses me, which I think, would affect the SEO value of regional pages and category pages.

    Can you please help me out?

    One thing; if you enable theme_support you are aware it will use a custom post type archive (using the post type’s translation) rather than a regular page with our shortcode?

    I’d avoid theme_support unless you know how to theme these archives etc. You don’t need theme_support to change the single job listing permalink.

    Hi Mike,

    Yes, I understand that part about CPT pages, and I am not using any custom pages.

    Anyway, I think I should just leave it as it is for the moment.

    Thanks for the reply.

    Ok – the guide above will let you change the single permalinks though. Look there hope it helps ??

    Thanks Mike.
    I already done that with the category/location/title structure. I must say your documentation is really helpful, and is detailed. I am thinking about going for the core bundle addon set.

    Keep up the good work mate.
