CSS not picking up from blog

  • Where is the CSS for individual job postings and applications being taken from? My job index is as I would like but the pages mentioned are not, nor are they editable. When I attempt to edit the pages individually I get bounced back to my blog index—as if that were the page I am trying to edit. Does this makes sense? What is happening:

    I have edited each of the system pages (blog index, individual posts, 404, archives, etc.) to include a certain background color but the Job Manager pages mentioned do not pick up the background as expected.

    Maybe a clarification will help. The plugin creates pages for job lists, job descriptions, etc. Other than the main jobs page (www.domain.com/jobs), all of the sub-pages (www.domain.com/jobs/pagecreatedbyplugin) are not appearing in the same layout. I need them to appear the same. Are the pages supposed to be posts, pages, or something else? If they are posts, are they some type of special post? Any help would be appreciated.

    Hello Detlev,

    What kind of pages are you talking about, do you mean your individual jobs? If you do, they are customized in the Individual Job Template, which is right below the Job List Template that I assume you used to customize the main jobs page? If not, this is found in Job Manager/Settings/Display Settings and you will see the headings: Display Settings/Job List Sorting/Job Templates. It is the third heading you want, then scroll down to the bottom of the heading where you will find the Individual Job Template. All the stuff above are shortcodes you can use to customize your template. Gary wrote a blogpost about customizing the joblist (which you can apply to individual templates also) if you need any more help: https://pento.net/2011/02/20/job-manager-howto-customizing-the-job-list/

    Hope this helps

    Hello mafgirl,

    It is and it isn’t the individual jobs. The information for each job and any layout within the main jobs page and customization of the job list is complete, and works. What is not happening is JM is not picking up on the theme’s layout and css. It is dismissing it so that I get the data I want but not in a themed page—there is no obvious way to edit the theme of these pages. Interestingly, the main jobs page, or job summary page, is perfect. It has the data and it is themed as expected.

    There are also other issues that relate to this that I have posted in other threads. i.e. the meta data for these very pages is/are incorrect.

    do you have a url for these pages or screenshots?

    The domain is g a r d e n s a r e . c o m

    /jobs/full-time/
    /jobs/part-time/
    /jobs/seasonal/

    Each of these pages contain the same meta data as a blog post from March 29th, contain bad urls as mentioned, and do not obey CSS from the theme.

    The individual listings also do not obey the CSS from the theme. The CSS issue can be seen by looking at the text in the listings. Both the left and right sides are outside the wrapper on the page. There are no other pages that do this. The only other pages that have a transparent background are the site map, privacy policy and terms of use but altering the CSS on them of course does not have an effect on these pages.

    Creating custom CSS each and every time HR posts a new job is not really a useful way of handling this either. They’ll post and I might not even know it. It needs to be that they post and the page is formatted correctly from the get go.

    Note that each of these is a sub-page of /jobs/. It seems like the sub-pages just don’t get told what is happening inside the plugin.
