Hello, I have another question . Can I customize the REGISTRATION window/pop up to add some required fields? 2) Can I separate registration process, to have one page for employers and other different for candidates? thanks
Hi
there’s no option to separate it or add a custom field without some modifications in code.
Do you have an example of the indeed or ZipRecruiter add on from WP Job Manager?
Here’s a site that uses Indeed add-on https://www.eorbits.com/browse-jobs/
Hi if I was testing your DEMO and if I was logged as Employer I can submit resumes, and apply for jobs (that’s incorrect) and I was logged as a candidate I can see other peoples resumes (wrong). Can you confirm please? Thanks
Hi, that’s correct and it’s done on purpose, please check explanation https://wpjobmanager.com/document/the-employer-role/
Hi
in workscout/js/custom.min.js search and replace 1272 with 1290, this should help, I’ve also changed it on demo and I think it works better now on screen size like yours
Mmm it didn’t work for me. Can you help me please? I don’t want it to look like and alternative kind of header I want it to fit in just one line like a normal default header, plus the site keeps looking very narrow in general, I think the 960px layout is very small for a macbook pro 13” It looks awesome when I zoom out at 90% but at 100% looks bad…Looks like the solution is to have less menu items and a narrow looking site?
I’m afraid if you can fit the menu there’s not much else to do than to re-organize it
What I mean is that the @media for macbooks pro 13” retina is not right…it looks like it if was for a smaller screen, and I already read other people complaining about it….I guess they fixed it by themselves then. If you can’t give me support on this I’ll do it myself. Very sad since I read your support had good reviews.
Ok, how about editing responsive.css and style.css and replacing each 1289 with 1279? After saving this changes clear cache in your browser to see it.
Couple of questions – Firstly can you remove fields from the submit job form e.g. Hours per week
Secondly does https://wpjobmanager.com/document/editing-job-submission-fields/ guide work for editing fields in the job submission form with thistheme.
Trying to make company_logo required tried some variations of this -
add_filter( 'submit_job_form_fields', 'custom_submit_job_form_fields' );
function custom_submit_job_form_fields( $fields ) {
$fields['job']['_company_logo']['required'] = "true";
return $fields;
}
Thanks
Hi
you can disable hour filter in Job Listings -> Settings, this will also remove it from the job form..
The guide for editing fields works, I used in in my theme. In your code it should be true without ” “
Thanks for your help.
One more thing, I’ve added an excerpt to job spotlight via <?php the_excerpt(); ?>
However I cannot seem to change the length of the excerpt using:function new_excerpt_length($length) {
return 100;
}
add_filter('excerpt_length', 'new_excerpt_length');
Am I missing something?
There’s function workscout_excerpt_length in inc/extras.php that might have higher priority
Hi, I created a pretty elaborate application form, there are about 55 fields. I want all of those fields to come through the “Employer Notification” email, but not all of the tags show up on the “Employer Notification” page. I tried to guess what they would be, and that did not work.
How do I get all of the info entered into the form to show up in the Notification email?
Thanks.
Hi
sorry but that’s a question to https://wpjobmanager.com/support/ as it’s not handled by theme. It all happens in plugins/wp-job-manager-applications/includes/wp-job-manager-applications-functions.php function create_job_application
- Can access to resumes be restricted to paid plans? What I want is that only paying customers can browse the resumes and not the costumers that choose a free plan. Can that be done?
- In the location field, can the suggested results be limited to a certain country? What I want is that when I star typing the suggestions are only cities in my country. I noticed that field says “powerd by Google” so I’m guessing there’s a way the Google Maps API can let mi restrict results to a certain country. If I buy the theme can you guys point me in the right direction to accomplish that?
- Can some plans include featured jobs? I didn’t see how featured jobs display on the demo.
Hi
ad1. That requires a bit of coding but it’s possible, here’s a tutorial how to do it https://wpjobmanager.com/document/tutorial-require-an-active-job-package-to-view-resumes/
ad2. Yes, it’s possible and I can help with that
ad3. Yes. I just set one job as featured https://workscout.in/browse-jobs/ – it will stay at the top of list and have different color
Thanks!
Hi, I’m already working with the theme, can you help me with the location field thing I mentioned in the previous comment?
What I would like is te set the Google Maps API so suggested locations are limited to Mexico and in Spanish. I would be very grateful if you help me with this.
Also, I’m using a child theme to make sure I can keep updating the parent theme in the future, so it would be grate if the necessary changes can be made in the child theme.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Hi
in latest version, in Customize -> Map Options you have an option to limit locations search results to single country, as for language, the Google Maps API detects the browser settings of the user and set the language appropriately.
Thanks a lot. Works perfectly.
Hello, the light box feature is not working for me. Also, Im going to Appearance > Theme Options > General… but I don’t see the option to add the page as the login. How do I fix this?
Hi
Please check this http://kb.purethemes.net/article/71-user-registration-in-workscout-explained you need to enable popup login/registration form in Appearance -> Customize. It was moved from Theme Options couple months (and even more updates) ago
Hi, I’ve just updated to the latest version of Workscout v1.4.6.3 but I can’t get maps to work. I’ve entered my API key and enabled maps on the jobs page but nothing happens – my job listing page still doesn’t display the map. I also tried creating a new page with a Jobs/Resume map element but that didn’t work either. It just displayed a blank rectangle with back and next arrows in the bottom right corner. Is there something else I need to do? I’m running this on localhost
Hi
are you sure you API keys is correctly configured? http://kb.purethemes.net/article/73-google-maps-api-key-for-workscout If you’re using it on localhost, you should disable key restriction
Hi, thanks for getting back to me. I tried it in Chrome browser this time (instead of Safari) and it worked with the Jobs/Resumes Map element! Errors in Safari v8.0.8 console are SyntaxError: Attempted to redefine property ‘fullscreenControl’ (workscout.map.min.js). ReferenceError: Can’t find variable: InfoBox (workscout.big.map.min.js:1:2328)
Even in the chrome browser, the map didn’t appear in my jobs listing page which is invoked with shortcode [jobs show_pagination=1 categories=”offer”]
Hi
I’m afraid I’d need to have access to it to check what’s wrong
Hi, I’ve set it up here for you http://182.160.157.156/~pollendev/browse-offers/ Note that when you open this job listing page the map doesn’t appear. Check your browser’s error console for error message
Sorry, to clarify this link works in Chrome browser http://182.160.157.156/~pollendev/map-test/ but doesn’t in Safari. So the map in this link uses the Jobs/Resumes Map element. The link I sent you in my previous post (ie. http://182.160.157.156/~pollendev/browse-offers/) is the current job listing page. It is invoked with the shortcode [jobs show_pagination=1 categories=”offer”] but the map does not appear in either Chrome or Safari even though maps have been enabled in the Customise section. Thanks hope you can help solve this, been banging my head again the wall for a while…
That’s because you haven’t set it as Job Listings Page in Job Listings -> Settings -> Pages. Check the “Setting Up Plugins Pages” section http://kb.purethemes.net/article/101-installing-demo-content-with-setup-wizard
Ok great thanks for your help. I’ve set that now and it’s working. Only problem is we have two listings on our site – one for job offers from employers (http://182.160.157.156/~pollendev/browse-offers/) and another for job seekers making requests for help (http://182.160.157.156/~pollendev/browse-requests/). Is there any way we can have both with map? By the way, I’ve tested site on two versions of Safari – on v8.0.8 maps are completely blank except for back/next buttons. on v10.0.1 works fine. Thanks
You need to also set Resumes Page in Resumes -> Settings -> Pages. You can enable map in Customize -> Resume Options
Hi, I appreciate your help but unfortunately I just realised the map page isn’t displaying the list of jobs underneath the map (it was my old shortcode that made the job listings appear under the map). Here’s a link to a new test page I created with no shortcode and which I have set as the Job Listings Page (ie. in Job Listings -> Settings -> Pages) http://182.160.157.156/~pollendev/browse-offers-new/ As you can see, the map appears but no job listings are there. Thanks again
OK, I’m slowly figuring this out but still having problems (ignore previous post). So it looks like I need to add a jobs listing element as well as well as set the Job Listings Page (ie. in Job Listings -> Settings -> Pages).I’ve done this now using the shortcode below which is meant to hide the categories drop down and only show categories of type “offer”. It seems like the map only shows jobs from this category, but the jobs listing still displays all jobs regardless of category and the category drop down list box still appears. This is the link to the page http://182.160.157.156/~pollendev/browse-offers-new/ and here’s the shortcode I’m using for the jobs listing [jobs per_page=”12” orderby=”none” order=”ASC” show_filters=”false” show_categories=”false” show_pagination=”false” show_more=”false” show_description=”false” categories=”offer” job_types=”” featured=”false” filled=”false” keywords=”” ]
Hi
if you want to show jobs from specific category just link this page http://182.160.157.156/~pollendev/job-category/offer/
the filters sidebar won’t pick up this settings from shortcode on the main browse-jobs page
OK thanks, but how can I change settings for this though since it’s not an actual page eg. how to I hide the titlebar? And how can I display more than one category – with the shortcode you can display multiple categories by comma separating them.
Sorry for delay. I’m afraid it’s not possible currently, but I think I have idea how to make it work, let me get back to you later on this
Hi Sir,
I am using theme to build a job board website. Using this theme I need to add functionality in my website of taking an online exam/quiz from the candidates who are applying for the job, and then i need to give them rating stars based on the test scores. That rating score should become part of candidate profile so that it would be visible to the company wherever the candidate applies for job.
I wanted to confirm is your theme extendable enough that i could simply add these features in my website using this theme? If yes would you kindly elaborate that how could I achieve this?
Looking forward for your response. Best Regards, Ahsan.Suleman ahsen.suleman@gmail.comHi
there’s no such functionality in theme or with the WP Job Manager add-ons, so you’d need to hire someone to add it for you
Hi Lukas, how could I make that every Job had multiple Job types? Similar as Category. Also than how could I update the post-a-job form with multiple selection.
Hi
just enable it in Job Listings -> Settings http://www.awesomescreenshot.com/image/2314873/cfde716d50d8b99d89f969b986e6c3af – this will also change it on Post A Job page to multi select form http://www.awesomescreenshot.com/image/2314877/f76d33d482685ceca96224f15fccb23a
Hi, how do I change the homepage background image?
I don’t have homepage options in theme options or customize…
thanks
Hi

Hi, i have a question about the icon fonts.
I want to add my own icon font in this workscout theme. Where can i include my own icon files like css, ttf, woff, svg, etc.? And how can i make the icons selectable with the icon picker, which file i musst change to add my font name or selector name?
I will be happy for any information.
Thank you very much.
Hi
I’m sorry but it’s way too complicated to explain and not really in theme support scope. Maybe this will give you some idea how to add it http://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-themes/how-to-easily-add-icon-fonts-in-your-wordpress-theme/ and here’s how to add your own icon set to Visual Composer https://wpbakery.atlassian.net/wiki/display/VC/Adding+Icons+to+vc_icon
Thank you very much.
I tried now to add my own icon in visual composer the steps 1,3 and 4 is ok but in step 2 i con’t understand in which file, function or where and how i can but this line:
vc_map_update param “icon_type” add: __( ‘Your icon set name’, ‘js_composer’ ) => ‘your_icon_set’
I found this https://wpbakery.atlassian.net/wiki/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=524310
To understand, what is the name and what is the category?
Hi, I have a couple of doubts.
Why does the template allow you to create job offers from the front-end to registered users as candidates?
- When you are creating an offer from the front end, once you have reached the preview, a button appears to continue the process by choosing a job listing. When I click it I redirect to paypal but I first want to be redirected to the page of woocommerce with my packages, the user chooses one and then can pay with paypal or bank transfer.
Thank you, very good theme.
Hi
it looks like you have both WC Paid Listings and Simple Paid Listings activated – and you can’t have both so disable the Simple Paid Listings plugin
If I do a search on the home page to find a job in a certain place then I’ll go to the page (as an example) http://www.office-post.nl/browse-jobs/?search_keywords=&search_location = Denhaag. If I had another search (location) give a different place than it is unresponsive. I know that on this site, especially jobs for Rotterdam, but would like it if there is a visible reaction and the google map shows my search. I have just looked at the preview page of scout work and there it works fine: https://workscout.in/browse-jobs/?search_keywords=&search_location=Texel%2C+Nederland#s=1 So in other words the place you specify, in this case Texel is shown on the map even if no vacancies here. Hope you can help me. Thank you very much!
Hi
when I check your search results now they are not working correctly, no matter what I type or filter it always shows the same list of jobs. Make sure your API key is configured correctly and update your theme to latest version
I did the update, but it is still not working. The Api key is working just fine… Could it be something different? Hope you can help me…
Are you sure all the api services are enabled like it’s described in documentation? http://kb.purethemes.net/article/73-google-maps-api-key-for-workscout. And are all your jobs geolocalized?
Yes i’m sure. I have done exactly as shown in the example.
My problem is unfortunately still persists. Would you please once more have another look at this issue. I would like to finish this project quickly and effectively for me and my client. Hope for an answer. Thanks in advance for all the effort!
I changed the api-key, but it’s still not working… Would you please respond…
If you have Domain Key restriction set in API configuration, try to disable it. You have just 4 jobs on the map, which means only 4 of them were geolocated, so the search by radius won’t work for others
Hello, do you have a login for the backend? I would like to test it first in the baking
Hi
I have even better, you can run your own trial site here http://purethemes.theme-demo.net/workscout 
Job application is not using the application addon email templates e.g. I am seeing “Hello, A candidate has applied online for the position …” whilst the template says “Hello, A candidate ([from_name]) has submitted their application for the position …”.
Hi
this is not handled in any way by theme, but by the Application add-on, support for this is provided by WPJM https://wpjobmanager.com/support/
Hi,thanks.
Finally resolved this with WPJM, thanks again for the heads up.
Trying to edit the Resume Form. I’ve followed the tutorial to add and remove some fields, but I need to edit the contents of the “Education” and “Experience” expanding fields. I also would like to add another that acts like those two for “References”. How would I do that?
Update: 1. I figured out how to edit the contents of Education and Experience. Still need to know how to make a new one like that for “References”
2. I added all the other fields I want to the form, and got the results to show up in PREVIEW by adding code to”content-single-resume.php” but the new fields do not show up when I submit the form and “view” the completed resume. How do I make that happen? The additional form fields don’t do me much good, if the results aren’t submitted.
Hi
to add fields on front-end you need to hook into submit_resume_form_fields, for backend it’s resume_manager_resume_fields, check how it’s done for Rate field in workscout/inc/wp-job-manager.php line 412
Ok, am I adding it to this php file? Where the info isn’t showing up is on the front end resume when I view it as an employer.
The other question was how do I add another field that’s like the Education and Experience field?
Hi
sorry. No you don’t have to (actually shouldn’t) add it to that file, use your functions.php file in your child theme. Contact me via Support Tab I can send you a file with example of added custom fields that are like Education field
Dear Support! Hungarian language is available?
Hi
it’s translatable theme so you can translate it http://kb.purethemes.net/article/70-how-do-i-translate-theme but unfortunately I don’t have Hungarian language pack for it.
Thanks 
Hi,
I’d like to know that does this theme support BuddyPress? I kinda want it to be more link linkedin. Or at least there’s company profile that employer can update news and can notify candidates who are following that company once the news are updated.
Hi
there’s currently no any special support for BuddyPress in WorkScout.
Thanks!
