Sorry for the delayed response.

We have extensively tested this issue, and we couldn’t replicate this issue in a fresh installation. These types of issues may occur due to older entries causing issues with new entries. This is common with systems that used other job plugins, which generated these entries and were never removed when the plugin was uninstalled. This can also occur if you customize the default WordPress-generated term slug or create these entries outside the WP Job Openings interface (with multilingual plugins such as WPML).

If these issues occur, it is better to remove all the duplicated entries and add them as fresh entries. If you already have jobs assigned to these terms, it may be hard for you to remove these entries and reassign them. In that case, you can enable the WordPress interface instead of WP Job Openings generated interface to manage job specifications. After enabling the interface, add the newly generated term slug to old entries and remove the new entries. This way, you don’t have to remove the entries already assigned to jobs.

If you need this, then you can use the below code snippet. Since you are already using the Code Snippets plugin, you can add this snippet with the help of this plugin.

function awsm_jobs_tax_custom_args( $args ) {
	$args['show_ui'] = true;
	$args['show_in_menu'] = true;
	return $args;
}
add_filter( 'awsm_jobs_tax_args', 'awsm_jobs_tax_custom_args' );

Please try this and let me know if this works for you.

Hi @anantajitjg,

I was able to remove all the duplicate specifications with your code snippet. I’ve been testing the system for a week now and it seems like there is no more duplicate entries happening too.

Thanks a lot and Happy Holidays!
