Hey there,

Quick question before purchasing: is the “Claim Listing for WP Job Manager” compatible with WorkScout or just the themes listed on the front page. Didn’t see workscout listed, but thought I’d check anyway? Is there a live/demo page of how the listing appears live?

Thank you :-)

Hi

I haven’t tested it yet, but I think it should work.

Hi, how can I add description excerpt in Job Listing?

I know that field, but when I fill in some text, it’s not showing on the browse jobs page and other job listing pages. Only in the job spotlight shortcode.

do you have the latest version of theme 1.5.1.1?

That was it! Thanks. Because there were no changes mentioned in the Changelog, I thought it was just an update for Visual Composer. Many thanks!

Hi, I am seeing a JS error on the Job Category page “SyntaxError: JSON.parse: unexpected character at line 1 column 2 of the JSON data” in workscout-ajax-filters.min.js:66:17. Can you help. Many thanks.

Hi, I have a site soft launch this Monday – any news on the fix?

I just uploaded update for this, sorry for delay

Great, working again. Many thanks.

Hi. And here is another question regarging expired jobs and filled jobs: Some time before if a job was expired or filled – it was shown with a special info-plate at the beginning of a job description. for example like this one: https://prnt.sc/maxhvq + the “Apply for job” button was deactivated. But now on my job board for all expired and filled position there is no such kind of info-plate (only “Apply for job” button deactivates) which confuses candidates. Could you help to bring those info-plates back?

Yes, it is really strange. I’ve checked the code of single-job_listing.php And there is the needed part. But it is not visible on the website:

<?php if ( is_position_filled() ) : ?> <?php esc_html_e( 'This position has been filled', 'workscout' ); ?> <?php elseif ( ! candidates_can_apply() && ‘preview’ !== $post->post_status ) : ?> <?php esc_html_e( 'Applications have closed', 'workscout' ); ?> <?php endif; ?>

Wow! I’ve found the answer. WP Job Manager – Applications plugin should be activated. It this case everything is fine :-) Thank you anyway

You’re welcome :)

Hi. Could you tell me where I can set the deafault period of time for a position to be listed and expired then. At the moment positions are live for 2 month on my job board by default. And I would like to change it to 1 month. I understand that for each position the epiration date can be set manually from the Dashboard. But I would like to change the default time perion to make life easier.

Hi

it’s set in Job Listings -> Settings -> Job Submission -> Listing Duration – but that’s a setting for new jobs, you current jobs need to updated manually.

Hi, is the theme available in Spanish for the Front and Back End ?. Thanks, Mike

Hi Mike

We don’t have Spanish language included but theme is fully translatable and you can easily translate it http://www.docs.purethemes.net/workscout/knowledge-base/theme-translation/

Hey, Is it possible to set it so that only employers who have purchased a listing product can view CVs on record? If so, how do we do it?

I have purchased – logged in from another account.

Is there a way to shorten the job posting URL so that it displays as: job/physician-3 rather than the URL displaying: job/company name-location-title?

Thanks in advance

Hi

it’s not a theme functionality, but maybe this will help https://wpjobmanager.com/document/tutorial-changing-the-job-slugpermalink/

Hi,

I want to know how to display excerpt in job posting interface to be activated in this theme?

Thanks

Here’s explained how you can modify fields in job https://wpjobmanager.com/document/editing-job-submission-fields/ but there can be only one Featured Image, so I’m not sure how to handle this

I will try to add a new field for the company logo. Replacing it with a not Featured picture, to free the space of the Featured image.

Where can I find the company logo code in the theme?

The function that displays the logo is coming from WP Job Manager and it’s a the_company_logo();

we use it in workscout/single-job_listing.php and workscout/job_manager/content-job_listing.php, workscout/job_manager/content-single-job_listing.php

Is there a way to shorten the job posting URL so that it displays as: job/physician-3 rather than the URL displaying: job/company name-location-title?

Hi. I currentrly use WooCommerce for registration and log in. When a new user sign up he is redirectered to My Account page. But if already registered user sign in he is redirected to the main page of the website. How to make users who sign in be redirected to My Account / Dashboard page?

There’s no option for that currently if you’re using popup login. But WorkScout will be soon updated with new login/registration system that is much more flexible

I don’t use the popup option and it is still the same… Ok. Let’s wait for the update

https://i4recruitment.com/candidate-category/it_digital/ – Could you please take a look at the search field on this page? It’s gone a bit tall… Thank you.

Add this in Customize>Additional CSS:

body .list-search input { margin-top: 0; }

Hi,

I have one more questions apart from my support message to you guys.

People can’t visit the company link above the apply button on single job listing. Because the slug that being autogenerated when filling the job posting form is with a ”-” minus symbol/ While the one that accessible from the Companies directory is “%20”

So if using workscout.in as example, from single-job listing: the code will be workscout.in/company/pure-theme -> this one will direct visitor to 404 page.

The one that accessible through Companies directory is: workscout.in/company/pure%20theme

I don’t know is this the Company Page WPJM plugins that cause it or how.

How can we solve this? And how can we make that link more standout?

Hi

can you show it on your website? because on our demo it works fine, example https://workscout.in/job/clinical-psychologist/ – Rose Clinic links to /company/Rose%20Clinic/

Hello, I saw that you mentioned in a couple of posts that you were working on a new registration script based on one developed for a recent theme.

1. If you are an existing logged-out candidate and want to apply for a job, I find a bit of an odd behavior from a candidate point of view. I do have User Restriction enabled as my client requires and I am using the WooCommerce option as the registration engine.

Here is the path for a candidate on a job page to login via “Apply for Job” button: - Apply For This Job popup displays with Sign In button. - Redirected to My Account page with choice of Login/Register forms. - Use Login form. - Redirected to Home page (away from the job to apply to).

The problems is that the candidate is taken away from the job they are interested and now needs to go find it again. Is there any way around this to return the candidate, after login, to the job page they were trying to apply for?

Or have the login form display within the popup after clicking on apply for job if they are not logged in and stay on the page after login?

2. On the Browse Jobs page, is there any possibility of seeing a list of job locations (cities) as one of the filters on the sidebar? This would be in addition to the existing location search field. I have seen this on job board website but am not sure that this type of filtering is possible with the WP Job Manager.

Regards, Frank

Hi Frank

ad1. Yes, the new script will stay on the page the user logged in or redirect back if you don’t want to use popup. A little bit more patience please, I hope to be able to update it next week.

ad2. I think you can try this plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-job-manager-locations/ – it adds ‘region’ taxonomy to group jobs but you can probably rename it to cities.

Hi,

I want to translate the string that says “I want to register as”.

Where can I find this?

Hi

use LocoTrasnlate for that, or Say What plugin if you want to keep it in English. The text itself is in /workscout/inc/registration.php and /workscout/inc/wp-job-manager.php but it’s translatable string

Hi Lukas,

I have further questions

1) Is there an option for the candidate to customize the Subject of the Application Email that going to be sent? because most of Indonesian employee required specific email subject for application via email (https://prnt.sc/m7deq3)

2) Is there an option to attach extra PDF document such as academic transcript in the application form? (https://prnt.sc/m7deq3)

3) There is some text overlap in the mobile screen, the jobs counter overlay the category section after I turn on “or browse jobs by category” options. (https://prnt.sc/m7dfpt)

4) A small fix is needed for the cart button in the mobile screen, it looks little bit unproportional (https://prnt.sc/m7dh1a)

5) How to put the “POST JOB FOR FREE” section in the menu bar next to login and register button?

6) There is a “w” character left in the “Post Job” page

Have a great day, Lukas!

I have send the message, but I don’t know did you guys receive it or not. I will resend it again.

I’ve resend the message, please take a look :D

I replied to your 27 questions.. That must have been the longest support email we’ve got. Please continue asking questions via email, thank you

Is this theme available to download whit the envato monthly subscription? Thanks in advance.

Hi, no it’s not.

Hey man. Building on this engine. I am using wpdiscuz for comments. Shows fine on blog post. But i need this comment system implementet on a single job post. How to?

Hi

Jobs by default don’t have comments, here’s how you can enable those https://wpjobmanager.com/customization-snippets/#enableComments

this will also require adding
<?php if ( comments_open() || get_comments_number() ) :
                    comments_template();
                endif; ?>

to single-job_listing.php

Hi,

Happy and Prosperous Year, a brief consultation, in the plugin of Envato Market appears the notice that thema WorkScout has a new update 1.5.1.1

However, when I click on Update Available to update, it goes to the message Updating … but then it shows the following message:

Update failed: Update package not available

In the same way from Apaciencia -> Themes on the theme WorkScout, the message “New version available. Update now” appears.

Is the update available or is there some type of error? I see that in the themeforest page of the theme it shows that the last update was January 10

Thanks for the help
