    I need to create more than one frontend job submission form with different categories in each. Can someone please guide me how to do that? I remember I’ve read something somewhere about copying template or something like that but couldn’t remember where i read it from, neither could I figure out how to physically do that. I also use a child theme so I don’t know if that makes any difference.

    I’d really appreciate if somebody can help. Thank you.

    Hi! It’s possible to override the submission form by using our template override system:

    https://wpjobmanager.com/document/template-overrides/

    However, I don’t think you’ll be able to use that to create more than one form (that will exist at different URLs), as WP Job Manager always uses the same template file to create the form (either the one included with the plugin, or the one which uses the override). I can’t think of a way to let you use different forms, UNLESS you put a lot of conditionals in the yourtheme/job_manager/job-submit.php file, maybe based on page IDs or something? This is the one you need to override, for the record:

    Hi Richard,

    This is simply out of my capability as a non-dev with no coding skill, but thank you evry much for helping. I really appreciate that.

    I actually saw one premium plugin ouitside of WP repo that can create multiple forntend job submission forms. But the author’s way of selling it was so shady and deceiving that really turned me off. It’s a long story and I don’t want to go there. It did look like a good quality plugin, however. But I neved tried it so I don’t know for sure, eitehr. Just a shame the brain behind it is not trust-wortbhy at all. It was the only one that can create multilple frontend forms with my research on this.

    The reason I’m bringing this up is to hope WPJM can step up and add this feature some day as well.

    Thank you.

    Hi! I’m sorry you had a bad experience there, that’s a shame. This isn’t something we’ll be adding to the plugin, though I’m sure you could do it with conditionals. You may want to look into one of these services for help:
