    I am working on a site running on XAMPP on my PC, if that makes any difference. I entered one job into Job Board Manager and saved, went to the job archive page, clicked on the job title, and got the 404 File Not Found. I read the instruction in the FAQ that said to resave the permalink settings to refresh, so I went to Settings>Permalink and resaved them. I am still getting the 404 File Not Found.

    I included the link above in the case that there is a formatting issue (the post title is very long, so the permalink is long and I was wondering if that length may have something to do with it), but it’s not a live site so it won’t be clickable.

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

  • have you tried others permalink options? please try with Plain and let me know the result.

    I tried Plain and something odd happened. All the pages turned to Plain permalinks (re: ?page_id=15 for instance), as you would expect, but the single job pages turned into this pattern ?job=general-labor-pastry-production-processing-plant, where “job” is the parent page. And the links work now.

    I just toggled it back to the PostName permalink type and it works now. I had toggled it to something else yesterday, as an experiment but I don’t remember exactly what–it wasn’t plain, though–and it didn’t work then. Thank you. I should have tried all the options first.

    Shoot. Toggling didn’t work. The single job page that opened actually belonged to a different job board that I tried. I’m going to delete that other job board and try again, clean.

    hi, this is localhost server config issue, hope this will work good on live server. please test on live server and let me know the result.

    Ok, yes, it works with Plain, but it doesn’t work if I toggle it back to PageName.

    Yeah, it appears to be so, but I don’t really understand why, since all the other job board plugins I’ve tried have worked with no issues on the localhost in XAMPP. (And, yes, that sounds like the time for the sarcastic, “Why don’t you use one of those plugins,” ?? It’s not like that, really. It’s just frustrating because my client has specific needs for an application form and literally every other plugin has a built-in or for-purchase form builder which doesn’t meet those needs, while they block my attempts to redirect to the forms that the client does want. So, you’re it for us and I just have to get my head around it.)

    I can’t set this page live until it’s ready to go, but I’ll let you know then (and hopefully the client will be patient if it doesn’t work perfectly right out of the box.)

    Yes! Once it was live, no problems.
