DISABLE “DUPLICATE” JOB OFFER

Hopefully, someone will be able to offer a better modification, but -if nothing better- you could use the CSS code snippet below (put it in your Additional CSS panel via your WordPress admin panel > Appearance > Customize) to hide on the jobs dashboard whatever the 3rd job listing menu option is (for published jobs, it is “Duplicate” until they reach the “Expires Soon” status, and then it hides the “Renew” option, but it still might be helpful–just make sure to test it thoroughly if you do use this, and note that a savvy user could always use the Inspect tool in their browser to unhide anything hidden via CSS, too).

/* Hides 3rd job post menu option of jobs on job dashboard */
#job-manager-job-dashboard > table > tbody > tr > td.job_title > ul > li:nth-child(3) {display: none;}

Hello @hastibe, first of all thank you very much for taking the time to try to help us, without hesitation we are very grateful.

We have proceeded to test the code and unfortunately it does not hide any menu in said section. We have even tried to modify the menu number, to see if it would resolve it, but no luck.

Likewise, we want to thank you for taking the trouble to try to help us. Many thanks!

Hmm, it works for mine! Your job dashboard CSS must be modified. What theme are you using?

We are using ASTRA (pro). So we went as you recommended to: Admin panel > Appearance > Customize. This opens Astra Customize and there we went to CSS codes, where we have all our codes included, but didn′t work. Then we installed the plugin: Simple Custom CSS and JS, but didn′t work there either, maybe this information helps ??

I don’t think Astra should be interfering, as that is a general theme and not a job board-specific one that could have CSS modifications to the job dashboard, so, my next thought is that you must have caching that needs to be cleared (result in the old CSS being loaded, without the modification).

After adding and publishing the CSS code snippet in the Additional CSS panel like you mentioned above, make sure to clear any caching via plugin and web hosting, and then check your dashboard when logged-in on an incognito / private mode window, to ensure that browser caching isn’t causing the issue, either.

@hastibe thank you for your time. We do not use cache plugins at all, as we faced tons of problems with them in the past. Anyway, we included the code once more at: Admin panel > Appearance > Customize. And then cleared the browser cache, tested in Chrome (with no luck), then in Firefox, Opera GX and Edge, with no luck either. To be very honest, we have never faced a code not working when we included it, but we have tried to follow all your recommendations, without success, the menu seems to be static there, without modifying any of its options, it is very strange.?Many thanks once more ??

Hi there!

Normally the “Duplicate” action would be used by employers to partially re-use a job listing (copy it to a new one, then change the details).

You can use this filter to disable the action completely:

add_filter( 'job_manager_my_job_actions', function( $actions ) {
	unset( $actions['duplicate'] );
	return $actions;
} );

The CSS that @hastibe suggested is not working anymore for version 2.3.0, because the dashboard template was changed.

Hello @yscik8, you don’t know how much you have helped us with this, we have been arguing with the companies that publish for 8 years, because they use DUPLICATE, to republish their offers dozens of times, repeating them over and over again, we have even canceled countless accounts for this and lost customers.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you very much, it has worked perfectly.

A big greeting!!!
