Google Jobs JSON object and imported locations?

    I’m using this plugin to bring jobs from an RSS feed into WP Job Manager. I’ve mapped the location data using the ‘Location > Job Address’ box, but when it comes out in the JSON object for Google Jobs to pick up, the data looks like this:

    “jobLocation”:{
    “@type”:”Place”,
    “address”:”Denver, CO 80012″
    }

    I would expect this:

    “jobLocation”:{
    “@type”:”Place”,
    “address”: {
    “@type”: “PostalAddress”,
    “addressLocality”: “Denver”,
    “addressRegion”: “CO”,
    “postalCode”: “80012”,
    },

    Google is, consequently, reporting that my jobs are missing location info even though they’re not.

    When I revert to using the _job_location custom field I’m getting the city and state breakdown right, but as soon as I try to add postalCode it stops breaking out properly.

    Is there a different way to import the postal code data into the job using your plugin?

    Hi @arothman

    when it comes out in the JSON object for Google Jobs to pick up, the data looks like this:

    I cannot replicate this on my test site, so we’ll need to see your import settings and data to understand what’s going wrong. Please replicate the problem at https://www.wpallimport.com/debug/ and open a ticket at https://www.wpallimport.com/support/ with the details.

    I’ve created a test account and I’m getting similar behavior. The city and state are imported, but I can’t import the postalcode without breaking the JSON object.

    Can you give me any direction on where the postalcode should be imported to? The walkthrough video shows adding address, city, and state, but no zip. I just need to see an example of proper postalcode import and I should be able to figure it out from there.

    I’ll open a support ticket with the demo link though, thanks!

    Just checking back on this one. Where on a job should the zipcode be placed in a normal situation? None of the videos or screenshots I’ve seen show anything other than city and state. How do I include the zipcode correctly in a job listing?

    Got my answer! If I want to import the zipcode rather than relying on Google to geocode it, I just need to put it in the geolocation_postcode custom field. All working now.
