Listing jobs in a specified category

    The documentation shows 3 types of ways to display jobs.

    [job-postings]
    [job-postings showcategory=”false|true” aligncategory=”left|center|right”]
    [job-categories-tree]

    My question is whether there is any way to only show jobs in a specified category? This would be similar to when you click the category name, but by the shortcode. For exmaple

    [job-postings category=”Internships”]

    Is there any way to achieve something like this?

    Hi @dionwiggins,

    Please update to the latest version of plugin, This is now possible, but you have to use category ID.

    You can add multiple of them, like this:
    [job-postings category="1,2"]

    or just one
    [job-postings category="2"]

    Best wishes.

    I updated to V1.71 but it does not seem to work.

    How do you determine the category ID?

    I tried 0 through to 5 with no output except when category ID is set to 0.

    EXAMPLE:

    Full-Time Positions
    [job-postings category=”0″]
    –Only this one works and it lists everything

    Part-Time Positions
    [job-postings category=”1″]

    xx

    [job-postings category=”2″]

    Internships
    [job-postings category=”3″]

    xx

    [job-postings category=”4″]

    Hi @dionwiggins,

    Are you sure you looking for the category id in the right place, Jobs > Categories ?

    url should be this, just change domain to yours
    yoursite.url/wp-admin/edit-tags.php?taxonomy=jobs_category&post_type=jobs

    Please confirm ??

    Best wishes.

    Yes, confirmed. I have 3 categories, each with 1 test job in it.

    Full-Time
    Internships
    Part-Time

    But only when I use the below do I get any jobs and they are all listed by 0.

    [job-postings category=”0″]

    Any other number from 1-4 that I have tried gives “Currently no job offers available.” as output.

    Thas weird, for example, on our test instances it works nicely: https://sandbox.blueglass.io/category/

    Resolved with recent version. I was not using the right category ID. Once you added the ID to the display, this was easy to work out. Thanks for the great support and product.
