    I use contact form for an applicant to apply for a job.
    How can I make the form send the job title and job location along with the data the applicant has filled in?

    Any ideas?

    Hi there, @ianmuir,

    Are you using the Applications add-on to do that? If so, we can’t provide support in the forums for paid plugins, can you contact us privately via the support form?

    If you are using the core WP Job Manager free plugin, can you share your site URL so I can take a better look at it? You’re also welcome to share more information and details about your question.

    Feel free to attach a screenshot in your next reply if you think it can be useful to me.?If you don’t know how to make a screenshot, here’s a quick explanation:

    NO. Im using contact form.
    Only using WPJM core

    I need to know if contact form can pass the job details as well as the user input.

    Hi @ianmuir,

    If you use the core plugin, you have three application methods:

    – Email addresses only
    – Website URLs only
    – Email addresses or Website URLs

    Forms can be used and integrated into the core plugin via the Applications add-on (that’s why I asked in my previous message):

    “Simple” contact forms don’t pass the job details with the user’s input.

    Hi
    If I bought your applications plugin, can that do what I want?

    It depends on what specifically you want it to do. ??

    As Stef mentioned, Applications comes with a form:

    https://wpjobmanager.com/document/applications/#section-4

    If you have a specific use case in mind, let us know and we’ll be better able to answer this. ??

    Does the form in the applications plug-in send the job description and location along with the users input back to the person who posted it?

    No. It does send a notification to the employer, but that notification basically let you know someone has applied to X job. There’s a link you can follow to see that application in your employer dashboard.

    While you can add additional fields to the form, they are populated by the candidate – they don’t pull in geolocation data or the job description. They are sent in the notification, however.

    Best,
