Thank you for the reply. However I am not asking about job tags or job types. I am asking about the “employment type” ?? Its a drop down menu item. Please have a look in the word press menu -> job listings -> job type.

Well then a extra big thank you kind soul ??

Ok. Sounds like I need to add it to my ticket list to the theme support ??

The theme adds the user roles automatically when users register. Its a well thought theme really and they have made a terrific work for a beginner like me – just that they have not thought people would add a forum I think ??

But thanks for the info and help! I will add the thoughts regarding action hook in my ticket to see if they have a solution ??

Last question on this matter. Would they understand my question if I wrote like the below text or would you write in a different way so that the terminology is correct for you guys that know coding?

“Hi, I have added asgaros forum plugin to my site. I want to restrict the forum to be accessible only to the candidates and have been in contact with asgaros support about this. They suggested to try to add a action hook so that it triggers some code that would assign the corresponding forum user group to the user. So when a candidate register on the site the action hook adds that user to the forum user list also. Do you know if this is possible with in your theme and how to add that function?”

Yes you are correct, the theme has those user roles and when people register they choose either of those two only.

Since I am trying to create a job board I also want to help people that is not employed. I thought a forum would do that – make people not feel alone in the process and to be able to talk and help each other as its a quite though time for most people. With that said I only want candidates to access the forum, so that employers wont see – because that could be a bit intimidating and maybe cause issues for some people etc.

I have created a candidate user group already. On that note: could the forum perhaps recognize this if I use the same names for forum groups as when people register to make it automatic or do you think I need one of those action hooks you mention? (if the latter is it difficult for a person that has some knowledge? I dont even know what it is so I wont be able to do it either way, but I ask for reference if I will have to ask someone)

Thank you for the reply and your time Jim ??

Since the question was asked I have been working on the site and has the forum up and running. Love the simplicity – though however the search function does not work ?? Its not live yet so have not tested the user roles as people register to the site.

My question (which I will test when more ready) is now more towards when people register to the site (using the themes registration) then choose either to be candidate or employer. I wonder if this translates to the forum and if I also can allow only candidates to see/use the forum. As of now I have not found this setting somewhere to restrict or allow specific users access. The only thing I found was “usergroups” (custom user groups) in asgaros settings – but I dont know what that does really?

Thank you for the reply. I instead made a new page with login and register and made your awesome plugin redirect instead ?? Works as good! ?? Many thanks!

Asking in another way:

Can this plugin block the whole site and instead only show a custom message containing a custom message with shortcodes for registration and login form?

Asking in another way:

Can this plugin block the whole site and instead only show a custom message containing a custom message with shortcodes (from an other plugin) for registration and login form?

I am looking to do the same. This would be an awesome feuture just to tick a box/setting “block whole site and show custom message” or something like that. Maybe its hard to do tho?
