@zahedkamal87 There isn’t right now, but I’ve proposed a possible fix for the next major version:
https://github.com/Automattic/WP-Job-Manager/pull/1805

Issue to follow:
https://github.com/Automattic/WP-Job-Manager/issues/1804

That functionality isn’t built into Job Manager. You could probably add this functionality on job submission form with some custom JavaScript. Looks like Google’s example for that functionality might give you a bit of a head start:

https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/examples/places-autocomplete

Note that assistance with implementing or troubleshooting customization is outside of the scope of the support that we offer, per our Support Policy:

https://wpjobmanager.com/support-policy/.

If you need it, you can search for development help in a variety of places — here are a few to start:

https://jobs.wordpress.net/
https://jetpack.pro/

For preselecting the category on the [jobs] shortcode, use the search_category query string variable (not search_categories; which is what the shortcode JS ajax-filters.js sends to the ajax request handler). Right now it only accepts one term ID.

For example:
https://example.com/jobs?search_category=6

There is an issue to expand on that to allow for [multiple] term slugs here:
https://github.com/Automattic/WP-Job-Manager/issues/1300

Note that once categories are changed in the client, the client’s state is preserved during that session and overrides what might come from the query string. Opening in a new tab should clear that.

Meta search results shouldn’t be case sensitive. One possibility is that if you had tested with “complex needs” before adding the snippet, the job listing results might have been cached without using the extra search field. WP Job Manager only caches results for 24 hours so if it was that, it should be working now. One easy way to clear the cache is to re-save any job listing with the smallest change.

Hi there–

I’m not able to reproduce on a fresh install of WP Job Manager on WordPress 5.2.1. What version of WordPress are you using? Do you also have the Gutenberg plugin installed? If so, which version?

I don’t think this is an issue inside of WP Job Manager. The update does flush rewrite rules, which could have triggered a problem that was dormant beforehand. It looks like your site is running on Apache. There are some old Gutenberg issues that hint this is a problem might be related to rewrite rules.

Few things to try:
Go to WP Admin > Settings > Permalinks. Don’t change anything, just save the settings by clicking Save Changes at the bottom. This will also trigger a refresh of the rewrite rules and might fix the problem.

Additionally, if you’re using any caching plugin or utilizing caching elsewhere, try clearing all cache. If those don’t work, also try switching to a built-in theme, such as Twenty Nineteen.

Is it happening when you attempt to edit other posts or pages?

For the [job_dashboard] shortcode, there is the posts_per_page parameter you can use to change the number of listings per page.

For example, this will output 10 per page:
[job_dashboard posts_per_page="10"]

Hi there!

We have a few helper functions located in wp-job-manager-template.php that might be useful. For example, you can get the company name from get_the_company_name( $job ). Additionally, you should be able to retrieve the company name from the _company_name post meta for the job. You can see more of these fields here.

You can get the URL for the job by calling get_permalink( $job ). However, unless you have disabled moderation (admin has to go in and approve the job listing), that link won’t work immediately after the job has been submitted.

Glad it is working now, @coreymichaeldesigns!

Hi there!

You can use a variation of this snippet to load a jQuery UI theme from a different location. You can put this in your theme’s functions.php.

https://gist.github.com/jom/81c700d11e19d32574a197466b47fb6c

You’ll need to download the theme you would like from jQuery UI (https://code.jquery.com/ui/). In WPJM, the default is smoothness.

The second parameter to wp_register_style() should point to where you uploaded jquery-ui.css.

For example, you might replace:
'//code.jquery.com/ui/' . $jquery_version . '/themes/black-tie/jquery-ui.css' with
'https://example.com/assets/jquery-ui/jquery-ui.css'.

Hope that helps!

Best,

Jake

Hi Corey–

Settings are only removed on uninstall/removal (not deactivation) if the Delete Data On Uninstall setting in Job Listings > Settings is enabled. It looks like the page from the not-working.jpg screenshot has been removed. Would it be possible to reactivate the plugin and create the page again?

Best,

Jake

@napsme We don’t make changes like this lightly. We tried to communicate with theme developers before it was released, but this one was off our radar until now.

In the future, if we have to do something like this again, we’ll add additional notifications from within the plugin with documentation on how to fix it.

Jake M.

@napsme Thanks, Mary. I’ll reach out to the theme developer as well.

Let me know how it goes.

Jake M.

@aslan_eident Glad you figured it out.

The new code goes just after <form ...> but must be before the closing </form> tag.

@napsme Which theme are you using? If you’re not using a custom theme, we also want to make sure we’re reaching out to theme developers to update the template. From your active theme (or parent theme), paste in the contents of job_manager/job-preview.php (for example, look for it in /wp-contents/themes/YOUR_ACTIVE_THEME/job_manager/job-preview.php).

Hi there–

You most likely have a theme that has overridden the job-preview.php template. Check your theme (and parent theme if you have one) for job_manager/job-preview.php. That template was updated in the last release.

The most important change is adding the new action preview_job_form_start. Please insert the following just after the <form ...> element:

	<?php
	/**
	 * Fires at the top of the preview job form.
	 *
	 * @since 1.32.2
	 */
	do_action( 'preview_job_form_start' );
	?>

Best,

Jake M.

Hi there–

Where are you running into issues with this change?

If your theme has overridden that template (you will see [your-theme-dir]/job_manager/job-preview.php), you’ll need to update it. The most critical bit from the current template (/wp-content/plugins/wp-job-manager/templates/job-preview.php) is adding this action just after the <form ...> tag:

<?php
/**
 * Fires at the top of the preview job form.
 *
 * @since 1.32.2
 */
do_action( 'preview_job_form_start' );
?>
