Custom search homepage

Hi there,

The keywords and location search fields are included by default when you use the [jobs] shortcode. To make other meta keys searchable, you can use this snippet:

https://wpjobmanager.com/customization-snippets/#customMetaSearch

If you’d like to add more search fields, you can use this tutorial:

Hi Daver

I tried this code in my theme and added to function.php. But no new search display in the header, any suggestion?

Hi there,

Thank you for getting back to us.

> I tried this code in my theme and added to function.php. But no new search display in the header, any suggestion?

Please note that this code helps make sure that your custom fields will be used when searching keywords.

That does not mean we will create a new search field for the [jobs] shortcode.

If you’d like to add more search fields, you can use your own template by changing this file wp-job-manager/templates/job-filters.php

You’d need to override our default template file to do this. Here’s a general tutorial:

That said, we aren’t able to actually write the code for you. You may want to look into one of these services if you need help:

Thanks!
