Page set-up

Hi gdavis55,

Would you be able to describe what it is you’re looking to do with this first page?

In order to have the jobs categories to be on a page it has to originate from the plugin page, the content can’t be added onto an auxiliary page.

There are ways to add content to the jobs listing page, before and after the jobs list. This can be found in the Display Settings tab.

Thanks for the reply.

Right now the job listing page is seen when the careers is clicked.

I was hoping to add a page before th Job Listing page with some text on the company, benefits of working there, etc. Then have a link to the Job listing page.

For example: clicking Careers in the main nav would go to a intro page on the company and benefits of working there. Then a link on this page would go to the job listing page.

Is something like this possible?

Thanks,
Gord

Hi Gord,

It is not possible if you want to display any jobs or category information dynamically created by the plugin on this intro page.

If you don’t then I would make a /careers.html page, have this info on it, then change the jobs listing page to /jobs.html that way you link to it from the careers page. This seems overly simple though so I’m probably misunderstanding.

I think you have it. It is pretty simple. I want to put a page before the jobs listing page, with only text and no dynamic content, in the way you explained.

So I can create a new page called ‘Careers’, rename the jobs listing page to ‘jobs’ and link to it from the careers page?

I’m not sure exactly how to rename the job listing page, but I’ll see what I can figure out and let you know if I get stuck.

Thanks,
Gord

Thanks for the help so far. I have the site set-up the way I needed.

One other question…

On this page
https://cfaengineering.com/careers/

I have a header with an image and title (Careers – Employee Development) and a sidebar with the job categories. The header was styles using the settings of the theme I’m using on this site.

When I click on any of the sidebar categories I’m taken to the right page but the header and sidebar are gone.

Is there a way to get them back?

Also, is there a way to get the page ID #s of the Job category pages?

Thanks,
Gord

Hi Gord,

You’re welcome I’m glad it’s moving along for you.

You would have to go into the php file that is creating the pages, find the part where it is creating the “page-header” class, and have it instead make the “special-header” class like the code below. It would also need to create the h3 tag and “subtitle” class within the div that has a class of container. This is the html you want, you’d have to search for where this is being generated:

`
<header class=”entry-header special-header” style=”padding: 25px;background-image: url(https://cfaengineering.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/header-about-vision.jpg);”>
<div class=”container”>
<h1 class=”entry-title” style=”color: #ffffff;”>Careers</h1>
<h3 class=”subtitle” style=”color: #ffffff;”>Employee Development</h3>
</div>
</header>
`

Since I am not familiar with your theme this is all very vague advice so I can’t help a lot.

If the header html was put in by yourself in the Job Manager backend you can just tweak the html to the above and you’ll be fine (in the Display Settings Tab, Before a Category Job List).

For the sidebar, you may need to have the checkbox checked to show related categories (found in the ‘Admin Settings’ tab). Or, in the ‘Careers’ page settings in the WordPress dashboard, you have to have the sidebar activated. Otherwise I don’t know why it wouldn’t be on every page.

For the page ID # I’m sorry I’m not sure what you mean by that. Is it the permalink?

Seems like this is resolved.

For future reference. I would have simply named the MAIN Careers Page as Careers and then set the Permalink slug for the main job-manager to /jobs/ but it looks like you went with Careers and Career-2 which from an SEO point may not be the best but it works too.

For Page content i,e side-bars that’s a feature of your Theme and when you set-up your pages layout what default layout you use for each page ?

This site looks like it does not use a sidebar but is instead using a Landing Page or Full Width Template.
