Resumes made public

    I manage an architectural firm site and they are using the WP Job Manager plugin combined with the Resume feature.

    We’ve noticed that when someone applies for a job and submits their resume, you can easily find it when you search their name on Google. We had a very uncomfortable situation with one of the applicants.

    Is there ANY way we can turn this off? So when someone submits and application and resume, only we who manage the site (and the one receiving the notifications) can see the resume.

    Thanks

    Hi there,

    Thanks for reaching out to WP Job Manager support.

    Do you currently have a paid license key for the Resume Manager add-on?

    If you do, please `use this form to get support for our paid add-ons:

    https://wpjobmanager.com/support/

    We are not allowed to support premium plugins in these forums.

    However, if your license key has expired and there was no renewal, we can continue the conversation on this support forum.

    Looking forward to hearing back from you!

    I don’t know anything about this plugin so they will have to answer, but I believe there are content restriction plugins that will redirect to a 404 for unauthorized use of a page or file. Look for content restriction plugins, page restriction plugins, media content restrictions, etc.

    Basically, you’d create a category or taxonomy called “restricted” or whatever term you preferred, make it available for the resume files. If anyone not logged in, or not part of a specific assigned user group tries to access the file it’ll kick back a 404 or restricted access message.

    Also, in light of that, check out another plugin called Ultimate Category Excluder. You create the restricted category name in the primary WP categories, not custom taxonomies, and then check all the boxes so it doesn’t show up in searches, archives, etc.

    It might be more what you’re looking for.
