job-industry/category-name change template

    By default it would appear the plugin is relying on the ‘archive.php’ to display the job-industry specific jobs. Is there a way I can name a file to display these categorised jobs, as I need the archive file for the main blog.

    I tried to create ‘category-wpbb_jobs.php’ but this had no effect.

    I have tried:

    taxonomy-wpbb_job.php
    taxonomy-wpbb_job_industry.php
    archive-wpbb_job_industry.php
    category-wpbb_job.php
    category-wpbb_job_industry.php

    I would have thought the archive-wpbb_job.php file I create would override the ‘archive.php’ for anything broadbean related? Is this not the case?

    I would recommend you take a look at the template hierarchy for which files you might want in your theme to control the view of certain things. This is a good resource:

    https://wphierarchy.com/

    Jobs are a post type named wpbb_job
    Job industry is a taxonomy named wpbb_job_industry

    Hi Mark,

    I have been using that as a resource, but no matter what I do the file just routes straight to archive.php. I am aware the taxonomy is named that but you have kind of just defected my question a little.

    Can you just advise me on how to avoid wordpress using archive.php do I need to call the file something like:

    taxonomy-wpbb_job_industry.php

    I have literally tried everything any hep would be great right abaout now.

    Even if I create taxonomy.php is still falls back to archive or index.php – I know my hierarchy works because I am using it elsewhere on the theme.

    It looks like (from my included mentions on Twitter) that you have been getting some kind assistance from Tom. If taxonomy.php is not being used for taxonomy term archives I would suggest deactivating some of your plugins or trying with the default 2017 theme to do some debugging.

    I was doing my best to assist you with learning the template hierarchy, which is the correct way to use the appropriate template file – sorry if I didn’t answer correctly ??

    Other sites I am working on at the moment are working correctly using the template hierarchy e.g. taxonomy-wpbb_job_industry.php for showing all those taxonomy term archive files.

    Mark, thanks for the reply I appreciate your time on this ??

    I figured out that the issue was with a conflicting script from another plugin so I sincerely apologise – if you could shed some light on my other question that would be great ?? I just need a simple way to change the slug of ‘job-industries’ to just the category name with -jobs appends on to the slug…

    This has been resolves. Thanks again for all your help Mark – I am starting to feel like I live and breath this plugin!

    Thanks again!
