Featured jobs staying at the top of listings after being set as 'non-featured'

    Hi Mike,

    Jobs are being passed to the site from a third party. They are set as featured at the point of submission.

    I have configured a cron job to change the db value from 1 to 0 after 72 hours – making them ‘non-featured’

    This works, the db value is changed and the class job_position_featured removed. However some listings remain ‘sticky’ at the top of the listings…..

    No idea why, your thoughts/suggestions would be much appreciated!

    Thanks

    Probably cached. If you search for a term which matches those ex-featured jobs, do they disappear from sticky?

    I’m pretty sure it’s not a caching issue.

    Search has no effect on ‘stickiness’.

    I wouldn’t be so sure because searches are cached in transients. Make sure when testing what I suggested its not a search term you’ve used before. Or edit a listing beforehand (which will flush the cache).

    I stand corrected!

    Updating the ‘sticky’ jobs has now returned them to below the featured jobs.

    How would I stop this happening again?

    Thanks

    In your cron you need to flush the cache. 

    WP_Job_Manager_Cache_Helper::get_transient_version( 'get_job_listings', true );

    Should do it.

    Thanks Mike,

    I’ll give that a try and see if it fixes the problem
