Jobs not showing on [jobs orderby=date] page

@ouegy can you clarify what you mean by manually save in the backend? The job listings themselves or the jobs page?

@jonryan Clicking ‘update’ on a job from the dashboard.

Hi there,

Just to clarify – when someone submits a listing on your site from the front end, it doesn’t show up in the [jobs] page unless you click on the Update button for that particular job on the backend?

If that’s the case, it’s not something I can reproduce. Do you have the ‘Moderate New Listings’ option ticked inside Job Listings -> Settings -> Job Submission?

Also, can you try temporarily deactivating other plugins on the site to check whether one of them is causing the problem? – https://wpjobmanager.com/document/detecting-plugin-issues/

Let me know what you find out.

Thanks,
Davor

Hi Davor,

Yes, that is what is happening, although the listings are submitted from a third party website.

That option is not ticked.

Adding a job from the back end has no problems.

Thanks,

Ian

I don’t think this is a plugin conflict either.

I have this happening on 3 different sites, which have different versions of WordPress and Job Manager installed, as well as different plugins…

I do have a CRON job running, to check whether the job should still be “featured”, although this code has been in place for quite a while with no issues.

/* Cron job to check whether job still needs to be featured */
add_action('my_daily_event', 'do_this_daily');

function my_activation() {
	if( !wp_next_scheduled( 'my_daily_event' )) {
		wp_schedule_event( current_time( 'timestamp' ), 'daily', 'my_daily_event');
	}
}
add_action('wp', 'my_activation');

function do_this_daily() {
	global $wpdb;
	
	$results = $wpdb->get_results(
	"SELECT ID, post_date_gmt
	FROM wp_posts
	WHERE post_type = 'job_listing'"
	);
	
	$jobdates = array();
	foreach($results as $oneitem) {
		$jobdates[$oneitem->ID]=$oneitem->post_date_gmt;
	}
	
	foreach($jobdates as $key => $value) {
		$postdate = $value;
		$id = $key;
		$today = time();
		$postdate = strtotime($postdate);
		$difference = round(abs($today-$postdate)/60/60);
		if($difference > 72) {
			$wpdb->query( $wpdb->prepare(
			"UPDATE $wpdb->postmeta
			SET meta_value = replace(meta_value, '1', '0')
			WHERE meta_key = '_featured'
			AND post_id = %d", $id ));
                        WP_Job_Manager_Cache_Helper::get_transient_version( 'get_job_listings', true );
		}
	}
}

I have resolved this but I don’t know why this works:

The shorcode I was using [jobs orderby=date show_pagination=true]. The new job posts did NOT show up.

I changed the shortcode to [jobs orderby=date order=desc show_pagination=true], and now they show up.

Hi there,

Glad to hear that! I am marking this ticket resolved. It seems there is a conflict on your site.
