Already reviewed this theme as 5/5 stars but would like to say thanks again!

It really is an awesome theme, with huge flexibility. It has improved my site (which used to run Jobify) massively !!

Would love to know what features are planned for the future? Any plans to add an internal messaging system such as ‘Front-end PM’? Just a thought… so far the best job theme I’ve come across. Cheers!

Thank you!

The new update will refresh WorkScout visually, new icons sets, new header style, some small improvement, plus the bug fixes reported since last update. Functionality wise we don’t plan anything new for this update. “Internal messaging system” might be already done using Ultimate Member plugin as it integrates nicely with WP Job Manager and WorkScout

Hi there,

Love the theme so far. I’m having an issue understanding how the full width works. I have an image that goes across the entire page with the designer, but when I save it and go back to view the page, it shows it as the default width of the page.

It also seems that any image or widget I add stays within the default view rather than full width.

Hi

could you specify which exactly “full width’ option you have in mind as it might refer to few different things

is it possible to have the search from the home page open onto a separate page, currently when you use the search bar on the home page it is hard for users to see that the search is below and needs to scroll.

i see it works like this on your demo, but not on mine.. how can i get it to work like the demo with map shown also http://webbrostest.co.za/teachingjobs123/ thanks

Hi

you just need to set your Job Listings Page to Browse Jobs page in wp-admin -> Job Listings ->Settings -> Pages. (also set other pages in that menu)

Hi.

In the curriculum of the candidate, to contact the candidate the systems use a Popup with a contact 7 form. After being sent the Popup remain open. Is possible to add an additional configuration for the automatic close of the Popup after

on_sent_ok
(same as sending resume)?

Thanks

Hi

I’ll look into this for next update.

Hi

so I have solution. Edit you contact form that is used for candidate contact, and in Additional Settings Tab add this:
on_sent_ok: "setTimeout(function () {$('.mfp-close').trigger('click');}, 3000);" 

this will close the box 3 seconds (3000ms) after sending email, you can of course adjust that value

Pls where do i get my Visual Composer license and revolution slider license activated

Hi

The Visual Composer is included in theme on developers license, which means I bought it for higher price to be able to include it in my theme. You as end user can use it only with this theme, and do not get the license key that is used to auto-updates. Updates of Visual Composer come with the updates of the theme ( I always include new VC in theme few days after release). You can of course buy your own copy of VC if you want it faster or need support from plugin authors, but that’s not necessary.

Same goes for Revolution Slider

Hi, Can you please let me know which page template this particular page is using.. http://dentistjobs.com.au/jobs/ If I want to make any changes (e.g. remove the KM radius function in location or adding an advertisement banner or something..), I noticed that this particular page is not using visual editor like other pages..

I basically want to create multiple pages (e.g. http://dentistjobs.com.au/adelaide-jobs/, http://dentistjobs.com.au/perth-jobs/ etc..) so that I can have location specific data prepopulated in it.. using the same page layout and look with location specific jobs listing

If you see these two pages.. http://dentistjobs.com.au/browse-jobs/ and http://dentistjobs.com.au/jobs from mobile device, http://dentistjobs.com.au/jobs is far better.. So I want to create multiple pages (as mentioned above) using the same template of http://dentistjobs.com.au/jobs

The http://dentistjobs.com.au/jobs/ page is archive of Jobs post type, and it uses file archive-jobs.php or jobs.php, both files use sidebar-jobs.php to display filters in sidebar. The page you set in Job Listings -> Settings -> Pages as Job Listings Page is the page that uses jobs.php file. You can create other pages using shortcode [jobs] here are the option https://wpjobmanager.com/document/shortcode-reference/

Hi,

I’m now using job custom field plugin by smyle. Here are some custom tasks questions and I understand it’s out of your scope but it would be great if you can give me some hint about them..

1. If I want have a check box for employer to select to show “Negotiable” on listing instead of salary range. But at the same time, they can select that range and keep the value so the list is still filterable. Is there an easy way to modify this?

2. If I want the location filter to be a dropdown instead of type to search, is it possible? And is it possible to make it as a dropdown on Home page with job search template?

Thank you :)

Yes, you can replace this search input in template-home.php with this

<?php job_manager_dropdown_categories( array( 'taxonomy' => 'job_listing_category', 'hierarchical' => 1, 'show_option_all' => esc_html__( 'Any category', 'workscout' ), 'name' => 'search_categories', 'orderby' => 'name', 'selected' => $selected_category, 'multiple' => false ) ); ?>

Thank you!

But

1) How can I adjust to show all categories even there is 0 job in that category?

2) When I select a category, it links to www.domain.co/jobs/?search_categories%5B%5D=222&search_region=0 And nothing was filtered for category

I sent you admin detail in case you’d like to check it out :)

I’m making update that will let you configure search elements, should be ready this week

Indeed and Job Aggregator Submission XML

Hello,

So inside the job listings settings there is a bit for XML feed submission to job aggregator sites like Indeed.com.

The link goes to: http://www.indeed.com/intl/en/xmlinfo.html but this seems to be a dead link.

Does anyone know how to submit my jobs feed to these sites?

Thanks!

Hi

so your WordPress generates the RSS feed with jobs from you site, the link is yourdomain.com?feed=job_feed&job_types=freelance%2Cfull-time%2Cinternship%2Cpart-time%2Ctemporary&search_location&job_categories&search_keywords

Not sure what you mean by “So inside the job listings settings there is a bit for XML feed submission to job aggregator sites like Indeed.com.”

I don’t see any option like that.

Hi,

Its under Job Listings >> Settings >> Indeed Integration

With an option to enable “XML Feed” Next to that:

“The generated feed can be used to submit jobs to Indeed (see here). Your feed will be found at: https://domain.coml/indeed-job-feed/

See here link above directs to: http://www.indeed.com/intl/en/xmlinfo.html

But there is no way to submit feed to Indeed?

I think it’s a question to Indeed, I can’t help here, sorry :)

Hello In the job editing screen in Admin panel there is an option of inserting Recruiter Phone number, where the default country is US, Is there a way to change the default country from US to some other country like UK

There’s no “Recruiter Phone” filed by default in WP Job Manager and WorkScout, so that must come from some other plugin you have

Hi puretheme,

which shortcode do I need to place on the page to create browse-companies page? http://workscout.in/companies/

Thank you very much

Hi

first you need to have plugin WP Job Manager – Company Profiles installed, the shortcode is [job_manager_companies]

Hi there, the notification for users to sign in to submit resume or job listing, the sign in button does not work:

http://webbrostest.co.za/teachingjobs123/post-a-job/ http://webbrostest.co.za/teachingjobs123/submit-resume-2/

how can i fix this and also have option to register not only sign in.

thank you

Hi

I can’t open any of those links – ERR_CONNECTION_TIMED_OUT

please try now

Try to update to latest version 1.3.2, if it won’t help I’d need admin access to your wp-admin, you can send it via Support Tab https://themeforest.net/item/workscout-job-board-wordpress-theme/13591801/support

I noticed the forgot password function is not working in demo site. So I believe it will be same in my site as I also have woocommerce selected as your demo. Can you please check on demo if forgot password function is actually not working and suggest a fix if so. Thanks

Also, Can I make an advance search form like seek.com.au home page. So that you can search and/or with keyword, job category, location. On the demo site, the search form is there but only has keyword and location criterias. I want to add job category in the search form on home page. Is it possible? Thanks

Hi

I’ve just tested the “forgot password” on demo and it works just fine. What doesn’t work for you? the form? or you don’t get the email? I just went through the process and didn’t have any problems.

As for search, it is technically possible but in current version not available in a theme, you’d have to modify template-home.php to add it. I’ll try to add more search options in upcoming update

Thanks

Hello Similar to category drop down can I have a predefined region dropdown with AJAX filter. I have installed Predefined region plugin and i got the region dropdown but how to get the AJAX for the search box in the dropdown similar to the one in category dropdown

If you have Regions add-on you can edit file sidebar-jobs.php and replace in line 42 “chosen-select” with “chosen-select-deselect”. You need to also enable in Job Listings > Settings> Job Regions -> Filter by Region

Thank you, it works great, I tried to activate the same in homepage and even though the text field is showing but the design is not same. you can view the link at http://niprojects.in/id-ss

That needs some more changes in CSS, I’ll be updating WorkScout this week and I’ll add option for that

Thanks for your support.

On the ‘Post a Job’ page (http://workscout.in/post-a-job/), for non logged in user, how can I remove these words “Have an account? If you don’t have an account you can create one below by entering your email address/username. Your account details will be confirmed via email. “

It’s in workscout\wp-job-manager-resumes\account-signin.php

Thanks a heaps..

You are like a Robot. Always respond so well and quickly. You are champ on themeforest..

how can i move company fields to be first before job information to post a job?

You have to either modify those fields using submit_job_form_fields filter or edit it in wp-content/plugins/wp-job-manager/includes/forms/class-wp-job-manager-form-submit-job.php line 145 -194

Thanks for your continuous support. A quick question. Where is the setup for online job application with resume. I tried to do a dummy application using my saved online resume but when I checked at the employer end, it did not received. Is there a setup to enable online job application with resume?

Thanks

Thanks. I bought the resume manager add-ons but not the applications add on yet. Until I buy application addon, How can I disable that function. So basically, the candidate can only apply by sending inquiry and not by online resume? Is there a button where I can disable that functionality altogether. Thanks

I found it. Thanks

Ok, I guess I misunderstood your question. Thanks

Hello Is it possible to have distinct link to display jobs of a particular job type. Suppose we have 2 different job type, contract and permanent, I need to show a search result page with permanent job selected.

Thank you, Please let me know the file name which the page used to display the shortcode, as I need to make changes in the layout of the page

Sorry but which page? You have the pages in your WordPress dashboard, not in files. Unless you want to edit archive page that is jobs.php file in workscout

Thank you, it is job.php file where I need to make changes

Hello

At the moment the job type filter in search result page work as ” OR ” it means if we select more then one job type it will give result for both selected job type, I want to change it to ” AND ” so that only the job which are listed in two or more job type will be listed when 2 or more field are selected.

Please let me know the file name where the query for search is located for job type

It’s handled by the plugin, you’ll find it in wp-content/plugins/wp-job-manager/wp-job-manager-functions.php – function get_job_listings()

Thanks a lot, I appreciate your help. Support in Themeforest by you are much faster then the support link

how can the email template be edited for resumes, the email that is emailed to admin. thank you

It’s in file wp-content/plugins/wp-job-manager-resumes/templates/resume-submitted-notification.php

How can I add more “Font awesome icon for category”? I see there are few options there. I want to add my own small icons for categories. How can I do that?

Thanks

Hi

you can’t easily add new icons to FontAwesome ( it might be complicated http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11426172/add-custom-icons-to-font-awesome ) but you have there a field for a custom image icon that can be used instead of FontAwesome http://i.imgur.com/0oYWYbq.png
