    Hi Guys!

    Great plugin!

    I’ve used the below to get a list on the search form which works great.

    <label for=”search_location”><?php _e( ‘location’, ‘job_manager’ ); ?></label>
    <!–<input type=”text” name=”search_location” placeholder=”<?php _e( ‘Any Location’, ‘job_manager’ ); ?> />–>
    <select name=”search_location” id=”search_location”>
    <option value=””><?php _e( ‘Select Location’, ‘job_manager’ ); ?></option>

    But i’m struggling to get the same list to link through using the below form method that I have on a separate page. Categories works but location doesn’t.
    <form method=”GET” action=”YOUR_JOBS_PAGE_URL”>

    Please help guys thanks!

    What happens? You should see ‘search_location’ in the query string after posting the form.

    Thanks for replying.

    I do get that yes but it doesn’t seem to do anything just lists all jobs. However, when I use the job board search for location it doesn’t add search_location it just adds #s=1 on the end?

    I have a salary field in the job board search added using functions i’m not sure if this is causing issues?

    Can you send the URL to your search results page (with query string).

    Sure.

    Your actual search form uses a dropdown – you need that to pick up the querystring variable and populate the select box.

    Thanks buddy.

    Any chance you could provide an example i could copy and paste it would be really helpful. I’m sure it would benefit other users too! Please ??

    E.g. per option something like:

    <?php selected( isset( $_GET['search_location'] ) && 'XXXX' === $_GET['search_location'], true ); ?>

    Thanks.

    Like this

    <label for="search_location"><?php _e( 'location', 'job_manager' ); ?></label>
    <!--<input type="text" name="search_location" placeholder="<?php _e( 'Any Location', 'job_manager' ); ?> />-->
	<select name="search_location" id="search_location">
    <option value=""><?php _e( 'Select Location', 'job_manager' ); ?></option>
<option value="Aberdeen"><?php selected( isset( $_GET['search_location'] ) && 'Aberdeen' === $_GET['search_location'], true ); ?></option>
<option value="Norfolk"><?php selected( isset( $_GET['search_location'] ) && 'Norfolk' === $_GET['search_location'], true ); ?></option>
	</select>
