Hi. As tested, it doesn’t seem to be enough to just insert that meta, as the featured jobs don’t automatically jump to the top of all job, like they would if you set the featured flag through the front end.

You guys can test it from your and by inserting the meta for a job, then posting another non featured job, you will see that the new job will appear above the featured job.

UPDATE cpk_postmeta AS pm
INNER JOIN cpk_posts AS ps ON ps.ID = pm.post_id
INNER JOIN cpk_users users ON ps.post_author = users.ID
INNER JOIN cpk_usermeta usmet on usmet.user_id = users.id
AND usmet.meta_key ='cpk_capabilities'
AND usmet.meta_value LIKE '%employer%'

SET pm.meta_value = '1'
WHERE pm.meta_key = '_featured'
AND post_type ='job_listing'

Hi. I am still having an issue with scheduled newsletters not running on schedule after a random period of them running successfully.

Only thing that works is duplicating the scheduled newsletter, and deleting the old one. This then seems to kick the schedule running again. Can you please explain what does the code for wysija_cron_queue check and do to ensure scheduled jobs run? What options in the sql database get triggered,etc?

Hi,

Yes I get that already, that wasn’t my question. Can you please answer the question regarding wysija_cron_queue and any possibility of making sure the queue doesn’t get stuck from the sql / metadata end?

The facts that it posts a couple hundred may be my servers own IO issue, but I don’t believe its normal behaviour for the job edit to create a blank attachment type post.

Lol, I know all this. The shortcode worked just fine until I upgraded to the latest wordpress. Now it just showed the actual text of the shortcode, instead of the code executing.

All I wanted to know is if,you tried this code on your end in a dev/test environment, containing the latest wp version, and does it work fine for you?

I changed it to back to [jobs]. I just wanted to see if it happens on your test environments with the latest wordpress version installed. If it’s just me, I will attempt to troubleshoot the bug myself.

The shortcode that stopped working for me was [jobs show_pagination = “true”]

Spoke too soon, I don’t know if it was intentional or missed, but you set the expired status in your code to public = false, but we want to see the expired jobs for seo.

I created a pull request for this

I didn’t add those links everywhere, I don’t know what you are talking about. That is just a normal job with the above heading. The problem with faulty widgets appears on any single job listing. There is a bug with your plugin, please have a closer look. The plugin is inserting empty spaces everywhere and filling them with urls of the jobs on the widgets actually, not just the make your listing featured, scroll across the rest of the jobs in the widget area. This is clearly a programming error.

What do you mean someone has added those links. This would be the a fault with the plugin itself. This happens across multiple job boards, so it would be defect with the plugin code for widgets?

Ye I didn’t do any do any code changes to the plugins, and this happens on any wp job listing, ones that have actual jobs as well.

FYI I found where I can incorporate this, in case any else needs to. In your main php – added the following lines, its hard coded with the values, but the point is there.

Line starting 568

$args = array(
		'posts_per_page' 	=> $aps_batch,
		'cat' 			=> $aps_cats,
		'post_type' 		=> $post_types,
		'ignore_sticky_posts'	=> true,
		'tax_query' => array(
		array(
			'taxonomy' => 'Featured Ad',
			'field'    => 'slug',
			'terms'    => 'yes',
		),
	),
	);

Thanks John. Is there a way with some extra code i can replace the category for posts to a custom taxonomy in the lligin code. I just need that particular functionality

Or scroll below the main post on a mobile device to the widgets

On the right hand side. The widgets.
