I’m fully familiar with how to check for conflicts. I’ve done it many times. That’s not the issue here, and saying that “…we can imagine that you’re unfamiliar with checking for conflicts” is condescending and unfair. Besides, I’m running my site on an up-to-date DreamHost server with PHP 7.4, etc., so I already know that my host is not an issue.

I’m simply unwilling to treat any WP plug-in as the tail that wags the dog.

Thank you for offering your assistance.

Sorry, this just isn’t worth it. Too many hoops.

Same result: “Something went wrong while optimizing the SEO data of your site. Please try again later.”

Sorry, but I had to move on. It’s a great plug-in, but it’s not compatible with WP 5.4.2, and I’ve run into too many snags.

I’ll come back and revisit the software if it’s updated.

No, the name of the page did not change.

Just to clarify: I have changed the following in Settings—

Jobpost Custom Post Type Slug: careers
Job Category Taxonomy Slug: career-category
Job Type Taxonomy Slug: career-type
Job Location Taxonomy Slug: career-location

However, the page title is “Jobs,” not “Careers.”

Bingo! Thank you very much. That took care of it.

The application form does appear if the job posting is saved rather than previewed in draft form.

I’d still like to know what the “Expose in Applicant Listing” control does, but I’ll mark this topic as resolved.

When you say “Switch to Text mode, and get out,” where’s the option to switch?

That’s the one thing I’m missing.

I was going to add a screen shot, but apparently cannot.

The check box in question appears on the WP Profile page:
Visual Editor (Disable the visual editor when writing)

If the checkbox is inactive, the VE alters, if not takes over, the display of Classic Editor pages.

If the checkbox is activated, you can use the Gutenberg editor but you cannot actually add/edit anything.

Catch-22

The minute you click on the check box to make the Visual Editor active, which you apparently have to do if you want to use any of Gutenberg’s features when you use it to edit a page, then Classic Editor uses the “oldstyle” Visual Editor. I see the typeface switch to Georgia and I know it’s active.

Apparently, one can edit a page/post with Gutenberg even without switching on that check box, but one will be unable to add blocks or otherwise alter the page without switching on that check box. That’s why I’ve avoided Gutenberg heretofore.

That would mean subjecting Classic Editor pages to the Visual Editor’s vagaries if I had to add a word here or there, simply because the Visual Editor was active.

Thank you for the comprehensive answer to my question! I really appreciate it.

Also, again, what is the purpose of the “Expose in Applicant Listing” radio button?

This site is under development, and I’m not supposed to share it publicly.

If there’s some way I can send you the URL privately, that’s fine, but if I post it here, anyone who’s logged in can see it.

Thanks, Joy. That’s very helpful.

It’s starting to look as if I have to enable the Visual Editor to be able to use Gutenberg on any pages at all, which means that the Classic Editor will be in Visual mode on all the other pages.

Visual Editor used to strip out code, and otherwise mess up pages from the TinyMCE, so I have avoided it. But I don’t want to have to resort to a page builder just to put a few blocks of content side by side with some art.

Ech. Fun.
