1a. I have found the “friendly name” in the mySQL database that coincides with the nickname (someone please confirm this is one and the same) found in WordPress. If I changed the mySQL friendly name to “white-rabbit” instead of “White Rabbit” would I break something? Would it force a change to the display option i.e. would it show white-rabbit on the page, or would it do as I would like and show mysite.com/author/wite-rabbit but show White Rabbit in the Post metas?

1b. Is there a rule that the nickname has to be one word?

2. Nothing yet.

3. A representative from WordPress has updated the documentation to clarify the use of the username in the source code. I’d still like to update the source code by removing the username if anyone knows how.

The domain is g a r d e n s a r e . c o m

/jobs/full-time/
/jobs/part-time/
/jobs/seasonal/

Each of these pages contain the same meta data as a blog post from March 29th, contain bad urls as mentioned, and do not obey CSS from the theme.

The individual listings also do not obey the CSS from the theme. The CSS issue can be seen by looking at the text in the listings. Both the left and right sides are outside the wrapper on the page. There are no other pages that do this. The only other pages that have a transparent background are the site map, privacy policy and terms of use but altering the CSS on them of course does not have an effect on these pages.

Creating custom CSS each and every time HR posts a new job is not really a useful way of handling this either. They’ll post and I might not even know it. It needs to be that they post and the page is formatted correctly from the get go.

Note that each of these is a sub-page of /jobs/. It seems like the sub-pages just don’t get told what is happening inside the plugin.

Hello mafgirl,

It is and it isn’t the individual jobs. The information for each job and any layout within the main jobs page and customization of the job list is complete, and works. What is not happening is JM is not picking up on the theme’s layout and css. It is dismissing it so that I get the data I want but not in a themed page—there is no obvious way to edit the theme of these pages. Interestingly, the main jobs page, or job summary page, is perfect. It has the data and it is themed as expected.

There are also other issues that relate to this that I have posted in other threads. i.e. the meta data for these very pages is/are incorrect.

Maybe a clarification will help. The plugin creates pages for job lists, job descriptions, etc. Other than the main jobs page (www.domain.com/jobs), all of the sub-pages (www.domain.com/jobs/pagecreatedbyplugin) are not appearing in the same layout. I need them to appear the same. Are the pages supposed to be posts, pages, or something else? If they are posts, are they some type of special post? Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you lauraupcott. I was trying to follow those instructions and that is how I got the above code. I have figured a bit more on my own but I think it is all limited by “tables” The example (BlueTree) is not using tables and that is what I was aiming to do.
