Hi @minamooi,

It’s possible that there might be a conflict with one of your other plugins. I did some further testing to make sure the files were actually being removed, and when the application was deleted it did also delete the associated files. On my test site all the associated files were stored in a folder for the specific application, in a job_applications folder.

Try disabling all of your plugins except WP Job Manager (and add-ons). Then try testing again to see if the issue persists. If that resolves your issue, you can find what was causing it by enabling each plugin one by one while continuing to test.

Let us know how it goes!

Hi @minamooi,

I did some testing, and when the application is first deleted it goes to the trash folder and the file is still available, but when the application is permanently deleted from Trash the file is also deleted. Is it doing something different for you when you permanently delete it from the trash?

There is also a setting to purge applications and files after a set amount of days in the Job Applications > Settings > Management. You can set that to the same amount of time you have job postings available, then it’ll delete the application and any files associated with it after that time period.

Hi @fotogo,

How to make always visible the options: Modify – Mark as filled – Copy – Delete which is displayed under the titles of job offers in the dashboard please?

For that you can change your theme to one that already has them always visible (I did some testing and they are always visible in the Jobify theme) or you can override it to always show them with custom css or by overriding the template file, following the directions here:

https://wpjobmanager.com/document/template-overrides/

Again, custom code like this is outside our Support Policy but you could download the Jobify theme and see how it is overriding the template for the Job Dashboard, then replicate that in your existing theme.

Hi @k4dm,

Those dots may be showing up because of something with your theme, or another plugin on the site.

Try disabling all of your plugins except WP Job Manager (and add-ons). Then try testing again to see if the issue persists. If that resolves your issue, you can find what was causing it by enabling each plugin one by one while continuing to test.

If that doesn’t help, you can also try switching to the Twenty Twenty theme via Appearance > Themes, and test again. If the issue is resolved then you know it’s a problem with the theme, and you’ll need to contact the theme author for further assistance.

Let us know if you have any other questions or trouble after those steps!

Hi @fotogo,

I have used Google Translate to translate your message. I apologize for any language errors or misunderstandings.

By default on the Job postings page the categories shouldn’t be selected. It is possible either your theme or some other plugin is causing them to be pre-selected.

You can also customize a link to only select specific categories, as well as other specified filters. You can find information on that here:

Let us know if you have any other questions!

Hi @mariussixbase,

There is not an option to do that by default, you would need to use another plugin to manage sharing those listings on social media, such as the Jetpack plugin with the Auto Share New Posts feature.

Let us know if you have any other questions!

Hi @troy4444,

While WP Job Manager has support for Google Job Search since version 1.28.0, it is only providing the structured data for Google to use, it does not submit the jobs to their search page.

Google will eventually crawl your site to index that information, similar to site maps. You can find more details on that here:

https://wpjobmanager.com/document/google-job-search-integration/

That page does also mention that you can use an SEO plugin to help speed up that process, but you would need to send any questions about that plugin to the specific plugin developer.

If you have any other questions, give us a shout!

Hi @shaunloveideecom,

We can’t provide help with custom coding, but you are correct that overriding a template (or using a theme that overrides it) is the way to go.

This page has the list of template files used by WP Job Manager:

https://wpjobmanager.com/document/template-overrides/

And should get you pointed in the right direction!

Hi @aga2442,

We can’t provide help with custom coding, but you can find some details about overriding templates with custom code here:

https://wpjobmanager.com/document/template-overrides/

You would need to override the template for the Job Dashboard.

If you have any other questions, give us a shout!

Hi @taliabarlev,

We can’t provide help with custom coding, but the default behavior of the target=”_blank” should be to create a new tab. It is possible there is a browser setting that is causing it to overwrite the previously created tab from the first link. Have you tried in a different browser or on a different device?

Hi @drvirus00,

We can’t provide help with custom coding, but we have some resources on customization here: https://wpjobmanager.com/document/common-customizations-and-feature-requests/ that may point you in the right direction!

Hi @sebastiantovilo,

We can’t provide help with custom coding, but there are some resources on the ‘get_post_meta’ function that may point you in the right direction:

Hi @ga4arts,

It is likely something about the feed that MailChimp doesn’t like. The RSS feed does use CDATA fields for some of the sections, MailChimp may be having issues with those. I would recommend reaching out to their support for further help from here.

Let us know how it goes!

Hi again,

It definitely isn’t required for the schema markup, and without it Google Jobs should get the location as a single text string in the _job_location field. The Geolocation Data is able to improve the integration with Google Job Search.

And it seems that step by step I am getting closer to the solution. So please give me a little time to try to finalize that. If I am not successful with that, I will get back to you (I will in any case).

Sounds good! Let us know what you find!

Hi @schnuffi,

It would need to have the structured data on to be able to get the location for Google, as well as some additional steps for the geolocation. Have you already followed the steps here to set that up:
