I get 404 for single job post pages

Do you have a page setup under domain.com/job ? If you do, it may conflict.

You should also try disabling all other themes and plugins, going to settings > permalinks and saving to see if that fixes it. if it does, there may be a conflict with another plugin.

Hope that helps you solve it.

hi

well, there is no any /job page other than /jobs page on which the jobs listing shortcode is added

now you actually mean deactivate all my plugins under Plugins section?

just got confused with your settings > permalinks

I’d appreciate if you could specify in more details what exactly should I try

thanks in adv, you are really helpful

hi

it’s me again
I tried what you specified but no change
I deactivated all the plugins then reactivated what needed but no change, I still get the 404 error page for individual job listing pages

it’s embarassing since all other features look to be working pretty well and cdidn’t meet with same issue from other users, makes me explode

now I have no idea what else I could try, all I know, I want to remain with this plugin but need some further assistance I would be thankful for

Sorry, to clarify,

1. Turn off all other plugins
2. Switch to twenty twelve theme
3. go to settings > permalinks and save

At that point, retest. The permalink save causes rewrite rules to be written (hopefully correctly!)

hi Mike

thanks for your helpful advice
I did exactly what you described step-by-step and it worked till I started to reactivate my plugins

I am using Genesis and the Metro Pro theme
your solution even worked when I reactivated the Metro Pro theme till I reactivated the coming soon and another plugin called Event list
after this I got 404 again
very embarrissing especially considering that I am just about to launch the website

so my question relates to the Metro Pro theme, is it compatible with your plugin?
or, might it be possible that your plugin conflicts with the Easy Coming soon or the Event list plugins?

just trying to help you as well to figure out an eventual bug

I’m puzzled now since I want to remain with this plugin

any further advice would be more than welcome

Going back, after enabling something save the permalinks again. This will again refresh the rules. If it breaks, you have the culprit.

Start with the theme – it may not be that.

FYI this doesn’t mean there is a bug with job manager. I see this issue occur when themes + plugins do not regenerate permalinks correctly. This can break any plugin using custom post types.

hi Mike

I did exactly as you specified and I got the culprit as you said so ??
well it turned out that the Event list WP plugin causes this error
now the problem is I need this plugin as well

so the question still remains, what next steps should I take to overcome this issue
I really hope there is a solution, something, anything …

That plugin has this code inside:

public function add_eventlist_feed() {
		global $wp_rewrite;
		add_feed('eventlist', array(&$this, 'print_eventlist_feed'));
		add_action('generate_rewrite_rules', array(&$this, 'eventlist_feed_rewrite'));
		$wp_rewrite->flush_rules();
	}

I think that may be causing it. It’s in includes/feed.php if you want to try commenting out the $wp_rewrite->flush_rules();.

I looks like it deos this on init. If thats the case, thats really bad practice. You should raise a ticket with the plugin author about that if confirmed.

thanks Mike, you are a genious

but let’s make our lives easier, at least let’s try ??

so, it looks like there is another plugin which promises to be even more robust than the one I started with, it’s the Events Manager
I will give it a try and if it solves my problem, than let’s consider this 404 issue is also a solved one, at least I hope so
I’ll get back though whith the result

thanks anyway you were more than helpful

Hello and thank you for this great plugin.

I have same issue as amery but I reading this post I think I have identified inFocus theme as responsible for the conflict.

How could I make Job Manager working on inFocus ?

Thank you.

I seem to have same kind of problem. But I do not have this Event list plugin.

When the problem occurs I only have to save permalinks again. Only I do not know what and when this problem starts.

So at some moments, I just see that this has happened. And I do not know how long the 404 are running on my site.

Then save the permalinks again it is good, and a few days later it is happening again.

How can I solve this? Or can you give advice how I could see what is triggering this problem.

hi guys,

after all I left default settings of the JobBoard plugin and will explain why we might not bother regarding this issue

all of you should take in account that job posts get listed on several websites causing duplicate issues as from contextual perspective

now, most of the time unless you are a big organisation listing your own job vacancies on the first hand, there is no need for indexation of these job listings as you should rather be focusing on multiple categorization of your job types aimed to optimize for Google
that being said in most of the cases (including mine) you should not worry about your job posts getting listed under a separate /job/ folder because you are supposed to disallow (robots.txt) it from being indexed by Google and all the job listing pages under this folder
you should also use noindex, nofollow (or follow) for the HTML <head> section meta tags

in this regard the default URL structure can remain with the following scopes:

domain.com/jobs/ – main job listing page (Google bot allowed)
domain.com/jobs/category01/ – a category job listing page (Google bot allowed)
domain.com/jobs/subcategory01/ – a subcategory job listing page (Google bot allowed)
domain.com/job/job01 – individual job description page (Google bot disallowed)

I hope that once and for all this issue is solved at least from an SEO perspective
