    There is a Job category item in Admin of your plugin. I like to add several kinds of main categories + items.

    Hours per week: (box on listing page)
    0-10 (select box)
    11-18 (select box)
    18-24 (select box)

    Type of work: (box on listing page)
    administrative (select box)
    bookkeeping (select box)
    ict (select box)

    Job types: (box on listing page)
    work with adults (select box)
    work with children (select box)
    work with seniors (select box)

    All these boxes should be shown in right column on screen in front-end.
    Is this somehow possible.

    Thanks
    Norus

    “Type of work” should probably be categories.

    “Job types” can replace full time, part time etc.

    Hours per week could be collected via a custom field (code or field customiser), but you won’t be able to add a filter for this without custom coding. We’ll be working on a tutorial for this at some point.

    We like to inform our customers as good as we can. Therefor we need several boxes in the right column when customers open the job listing page. If there are thousands of jobs you want to filter out all not needed jobs.
    My example was a simple one.
    Customers should filter for example on:
    Location – District – State – Job type – Duration – Hours per week – Kind of work – Work with type of persons
    All these filters has there own items.

    Are there existing plug-ins that adds this to a job.

    You mean filters in the sidebar of your site, rather than just on the jobs page? The jobs page/search is designed to be self-contained so it works on the page only. If you want to have external filters you’d need to theme the plugin fully and do this as a customisation.

    It’s all possible yes, but not right out of the box.

    Filters in the sidebar but only present in the job listing page.
    So these filters should also been added when a job is posted by the customer.
    Yes the code must also add these items in the table, otherwise it would not work.

    That would need to be built by a dev for you.

    Here is a guide on adding new fields: https://wpjobmanager.com/document/editing-job-submission-fields/

    If you want to stick with the default search/filters the plugin offers, use the jobs shortcode only https://wpjobmanager.com/document/shortcode-reference/#section-1

    If you do intend on building a full theme, see https://wpjobmanager.com/document/enabling-full-template-support/

    ok thanks for replying so very quick. My compliments.

    norus, i would like to have filters in the left sidebar as well (as well as a search bar on the top), so how did you achieve this?

    would really appreciate an answer! ??
