Job category link

@jcphoto

you need to add a shortcode to each of the pages like this:

Page category fashion: [jobs category=”fashion”]

page category two: [jobs category=”category two”]

etc.

Hi @jcphoto,

@braehler is correct, thanks for your help! You can read more about the different options for the shortcodes in WP Job Manager here: https://wpjobmanager.com/document/shortcode-reference/

I have added this shortcode [jobs category=”healthcare”] but it’s ot working on my page https://www.webkrish.com/stagingoikos/healthcare/

Could you please check?

Hi @jcphoto,

I’m sorry, I read through the page and the other answer too quickly! The correct shortcode syntax is [jobs categories=”healthcare”], and you can add multiple categories separated by commas if needed.

Hi @michaelnutt, thanks for your help it’s working now.

Can you help me with 2 more queries, please?

1. How do we get job post counts for each category? https://prnt.sc/-4lO6nmhOtQe

2. How to get WP job manager search bar?

Hi @jcphoto,

For your first question, there isn’t a built in way to show that. You would need to write some custom code to count how many jobs are in each category. This page has some details on custom code to show a list of all the job categories and may be helpful in getting you started:

For your second question, the Job Search is part of the [jobs] shortcode. You can also create a custom job search form, following the steps here:

HI @michaelnutt,

Thanks for all your help ??

I’m going to mark this thread as resolved. If you have additional questions about WP Job Manager in the future, feel free to open a new thread.

Our client sells Job “ads” and Company ads. After the user purchases an ad, they’re directed to a form to fill out that will create that ad. Currently the form has fields for both Job and Company ads.  If the user bought a Job ad, he can then get the Company ad at no cost if he fills out the second part of the form. We don’t want to give these ads away for free.

We need two forms – one for Jobs and one for Company. Our developer says there is only a way to make one form for the creation of the ad and that’s why both products are listed on the form. I find it hard to believe that a program as complex and thorough as this would be limited to making only one form. Can you direct me to where I need to go to make another form?

Hi @sbiese –

It isn’t possible to add a second form in WP Job Manager. We have a feature request open for this here:

https://github.com/Automattic/WP-Job-Manager/issues/2236

I’ve added your request to that issue. However, there is not currently a timeline for when or if the feature might be added.

Also, in the future, please make a new thread per www.remarpro.com community guidelines.
