When will be the next update finally released? This version does not work well with Wordpress 5.x. The update was promised to June 2019 and is overdue, expired, failing Javascript etc.
There’s no problem with latest WordPress and WorkScout, our demo and test site run on latest WP and all is fine, no one reported anything, the only problem is with OptionTree and PHP 7.3 but it’s almost fixed
As far as we know WorkScout is compatible with WordPress 5.x. What kind of issues are you experiencing?
Issues are : 1. Deprecated: Function create_function() is deprecated in /public/wp-content/themes/workscout/option-tree/includes/ot-functions-admin.php on line 69 -> show stopper, editing pages is not possible anymore. 2. Content editing with Gutenberg is not possible, because there are some overlaying divs like background image on header, slider settings, layout, titlebar, sidebar. I do not want these information. If the page has a lot of content, theses divs are on top of my content, so I can not edit my content!
Option tree was actually fixed https://github.com/valendesigns/option-tree and doesn’t show that error. I can update that on your site today but I’d need access to it (contact me via Support Tab)
for Gutenberg we don’t plan any update now, we have WPBakery Page Builder, if you’re running into issues with Gutenberg editor, use classic editor https://wordpress.org/plugins/classic-editor/
Sorry, but when will you release the next theme update (it was announced for June 2019)? I am more interested in a theme update as investing time of debugging and correcting single parts / third libraries of the theme.
Found the issue / error of your page design div of class “edit-post-layout__metaboxes” and WP page editor. If the WP class “editor-writing-flow block-editor-writing-flow” attribute height: 100% is disabled Workscout sections are displayed correctly in under the page editor content and not on top.
Can I do the update of option-tree myself? What is to do? Maybe the update steps are interested to other customers too.
Hi
Yes you can, just download the OptionTree from https://github.com/valendesigns/option-tree and put it in your workscout/option-tree to overwrite old files. As for Gutenberg we don’t have compatibility with that as we use WPBakery Page Builder and we advise disabling Gutenberg for now. Sorry for delays but it’s vacations period and we’re also swamped with support request
Also please consider changing your review. We don’t have Gutenberg support and it’s clearly shown in item description, and the ‘outdated’ libraries you mentioned we already talked about. WordPress doesn’t use latest jQuery, it’s not loaded from theme but from WordPress core. I admit the update for OptionTree is taking too long but we wanted to add more things to that. Thank you.
As to update and why it takes longer that it should – we wanted to implement new front-end dashboard and push update with all those features at once.
Here’s dashboard: http://www.vasterad.com/themes/workscout_2019/dashboard.html
Kindly please change your review at elast till update.
What are these stars for? http://tinyurl.com/y3zyeddr They are not clickable. Do they have any purpose and if no, can I hide them somehow?
When you click Bearbaiten you should have a dropdown to rate the application, it’s then displayed there
I see. 
Thanks!
The theme seems not to be compatible with the plugin WP Fastest Cache. Can you confirm this? You can’t log in as a user in the frontend when the plugin is activated.
I don’t use that plugin but I’ve seen it couple times on our users websites, I’m pretty sure it can be avoided with properly configured, probably the login part can be excluded https://www.wpfastestcache.com/features/exclude-page/
PRE-SALES: do you provide any data-migration services from one WP Theme to yours? There are a lot of customizations in the current theme mainly related to things like after the first company registration our digital team builds and activate company profile page and other things. Are there possible in your theme?
Hi
I’m afraid it’s not and we don’t offer services like that.
Hi,
Is it possible to customize the layout of the packages in the job submission process when using job manager along with WC paid listings? They are currently showing as a list with radio buttons but I’d prefer to have the woocommerce layout, is that possible?
thank you!
Hi
technically it is but we don’t have such option at this moment, so that would require custom modification
Hi is it possible to sort the regions in a custom order? I have continents and countries: right now they display in the dropdown with the continent followed by its countries ordered alphabetically. What I’d like is to have all the continents first and then all the countries listed alphabetically. Thanks
Hi
you don’t have purchase badge, please verify your purchase first or contact us from account you’ve used to buy the theme.
Hi, I’m trying the theme out right now with the idea to purchase the theme to get regular updates if it fits my needs (which I think it will). You’ve been very helpful with a number of my questions already, so I understand if you don’t want to provide any more support until I purchase. Thanks,
And you got it from where? If some warez site, mind the malicious code that is often included as “extra”, and probably not the latest version.
i buy all my test themes and plugins from GPL sites. It allows me to really try them out and if I decide to use them in production I then buy the full license from the authors to get automatic updates. I’ve never had any malware issues. I’ve yet to find a better way not to spend thousands every time I want to try a combination of themes and plugins. Your theme is very reasonably priced I must say but if you look at the costs of some of the job manager and woocommerce add-ons (for example), it seems crazy to me to spend hundreds of dollars to see if something works as you expect, and if not, hope to god that they actually deliver on their money back guarantees.
Still, we don’t know what version of theme you have and we can’t be sure if it wasn’t modified in any way.
And what do you mean by “you buy test themes from GPL sites” – so you basically pay someone else who “stole” our theme and all he does is offer a copy of our work for money? Sounds like a great business, I’ll have to pivot my company.
I know what GPL is, but we’re on Envato split license https://help.author.envato.com/hc/en-us/articles/360000534646-What-is-Split-Licensing-and-the-GPL-
Good morning, guys.
I would like to know if there is any way I can modify the message on the “My account” page. If there is no way to avoid that page, I would at least like to modify the message. How can I do that? I mean the one that says: “From your account dashboard you can view your recent orders, manage your shipping and billing addresses and edit your password and account details”.
I’d like to ask another question that I think could help everyone. How could I modify the creation of page titles for individual job openings so that the page title includes the location of the offer?
So that you can see what I’m talking about you can see this link: https://www.totaljobs.com/job/general-ledger-accountant/scisys-job87134144 As you can see who published the offer only wrote: “General Ledger Accountant” but the Page Title is actually: “General Ledger Accountant in Chippenham (SN14)”.
This is something that all employment platforms do, even create predetermined meta descriptions. It would be helpful if you could give us some guidance on how we can do that. Thank you very much and have a nice day!
Hi
this message is in file workscout/woocommerce/myaccount/dashboard.php – you can remove/change it there
Regarding post titles, I’m pretty sure you can do something like that using SEO by Yoast, to create a page title template with the title of job and the location from meta field.
Thank you! I had just done it with Yoast when I saw your answer. Again, thank you
Hi again guys, I tried to change the structure of the permanent links on the web so that the URL would include the category, for example: www.myjobs/job/ category-name / london-writter I made the change according to the advice of the plugin documentation: https://wpjobmanager.com/document/tutorial-changing-the-job-slugpermalink/ The problem is that when I click on a job offer I get a 404 page. Can you tell me how to solve this problem? What could be causing the error? Thank you!
Have you tried going to Settings -> Permalinks, and just clicking Save there without any changes in that screen?
Hi, a couple more questions: 1) Is it possible to change the job types on the job list page from a checklist to a multi-select dropdown exactly like the categories? 2) If not, is it possible to have all the job types in the checklist UNselected by default? at the moment, a user has to unselect all the ones they are not interested in; 3) when using the “Add alert” button, is it possible to have the alert set-up already pre-populated with the filters that had been selected on the job lists page? Basically the same behaviour that exists on the single job page when you click ‘alert me to jobs like this’ ?THANKS!!!
Hi
ad1. No it isn’t
ad2.. No it isn’t, it’s how the WP Job Manager does that, we don’t control it in theme. having that unchecked would hide all jobs from the list that have that job type assigned
ad3. I’ll check it but afaik it’s not possible.
Hi, thanks for your replies: 1) ok; 2) I understand but surely for the categories, that logic does exist, so I would presume we could also apply it to the types? ie essentially make the ‘boxes unchecked’ be equivalent to ‘no filter’? I’ll ask the wp job manager people as well 3)ok thank you
It’s not that easy and like I said, controlled by WPJM
I’m curious about a small flaw in the purchase/package set-up: if an employer buys a package (eg 1 job listed for 30days), posts a job, then waits until day 29 and deletes the job, it seems their package is reset and they can again post a job for 30 days. Is there a way around that?
Hi
I’m pretty sure it isn’t working like that, but this is all handled by WP Job Manager WC Paid Listing add-ons, this is not theme functionality, so support for this is handled here https://wpjobmanager.com/support/
I’ve double checked it and it does do that, it’s quite problematic.
I see, but still, like I explained, it’s not something in our theme functionality scope.
sure I understand. I’ll post it as an issue to wp job manager but thought you might have some more pull to get an answer from them given your position. I think this would affect most of your users, not just me.
For anyone else who might be curious about this, I got an answer from wp job manager and there is a built-in ‘grace period’ of 3 days
Thanks for sharing!
Hello, Is there any reason not to answer my questions? I contacted you through the support form and comments, but I have not received a response. Other people have written comments after me and you have already answered them.
Sorry, I just replied, this account is handled by more than one person and not all of us can reply to all questions, especially if they are a bit more technical, so that’s why some users get their answer first
one more question: when using the regions plugin, there are two distinct behaviours: 1) on the job list page, it helpfully has a text/search box that searches among all the regions 2) on the job submit page there is only the dropdown. How can I get the text/search box on the job submission page as well? The reason is that if you have thousands of cities in your regions, it’s impractical to scroll down through all the options.
thanks!
Hi, search input field in dropdown is enabled automatically with more than 10 items in dropdown as far as I remember so if you will have many items (regions) in dropdown search field will be displayed automatically.
you’re absolutely right, I was testing with fewer regions. Thanks. It turns out this is still not a viable option for thousands of locations as it slows down the page load massively (if you know anyway to speed that up that doesn’t impact function I’m all ears!)
If you will have thousands of locations/items in dropdown then yes it might be an issue but we didn’t have that kind of case. Dynamically loaded results would be required but WorkScout doesn’t have anything like that built-in so a bit custom development would be required.
ok, thanks
Hi! Is there any easy way to make a button created with VC (orange button) look like the other buttons (green buttons)? http://tinyurl.com/y3k5j8w2
Hi, you can adjust button style in options: https://nimb.ws/6qSvX2
If you want same amount of radius on the edges set “rounded” not “round”.
Thanks, but I mean the entire style: background color, font weight, ... I want the button to look exactly like the other green buttons. Can you give me some class or some custom css styling so that the buttons match each other?
Please send us message using this form: https://themeforest.net/item/workscout-job-board-wordpress-theme/13591801/support
with link to your website and admin login&password if possible
I did. Thanks for the offer!
Hi, I recently bought your theme and I was very happy with the purchase until I found several major problems. I pose them to you in the hope that you can help me.
1- The new job offers that are published do not have a button to apply.
2- In the mobile version you don’t see part of the header image or the phrase that indicates the number of jobs published. Also in the mobile version the first icon that appears after the header image, does not have the link working. In the desktop version the link works.
3- When a user registers, he is automatically directed to the Account Page. What can I do so that when a user registers, he goes to the Dashboard? In “Login/Registration options” I activated the option “user page to candidate (and employer) Dashboard redirect” but it didn’t work correctly. I don’t sell anything now and only use Woocommerce for registration.
4- In the dashboards menus appear several options related to sales. I created new menus for candidates and employers but the options of the new menus appear plus the ones that already existed related to Woocommerce. I just want the options decided by me to appear from the menu. How could I eliminate the rest of the options?
I apologize for so many questions, but this is an important project and it urges me. Thank you!
Hi
ad1. To have apply button, you need to provide email or url in the field “Application email/URL:” or have the Applications add-on
ad2. I don’t see that happening on our demo, can you share link to your site?
ad3. It doesn’t work from the popup form, only from static page (it’s being reworked now)
ad4. Please check http://www.docs.purethemes.net/workscout/knowledge-base/user-dashboard-navigation/ – and FYI, as admin you see both menus at once
Okay, thanks for your answer. I will send you the URL through the support form. Have a nice day.
hi when will the major updates as mentioned be available?
The update will be in few parts, first one should be tomorrow, this update will replace OptionTree with CMB2 to make it PHP 7.3 compatible
Hi, you previously mentioned the potential to integrate OpenStreetMap as an alternative to the google maps API into the theme. Any updates on this? thanks!
Hi, not yet, sorry.
thanks for replying. You had mentioned it would be included in a June update, when is it planned for in the end? Or do you have suggestions of good 3rd party plugins to deal with this?
Hi, unfortuantely any plugin won’t work. I am sorry but update with OSM support will be delayed. Can’t tell how long at this moment, sorry.
ok, thank you. on a related note, I’m curious as to how initials and full names for locations are linked (is there a database somewhere internally?). ie currently, if I type “UK” in the lcoation search, it will filter for all jobs that have “UK” OR “United Kingdom” in their location field. How does it do that and is there a full list of countries for which that works? FYI, that is without using the regions plugin, and with the google API in place but no billing set up so not with google autocomplete or anything like that.
Hi
It either works by simple text comparison search, or by geocoding the address. There’s no any internal database for that
that’s what i thought but I also thought geocoding was not enabled unless you had billing set up for the google API and I certainly did not do that. Strange.
I guess it’s possible the text comparison also looks at initials
Hello,Greetings,
Does this theme uses advanced custom fields or something similar and is it possible to make one more custom post type, in this case “events” with title, description and date for users where they can click “attend” or something like that?
thank you very much in advance for the availability!
Hi
no, there’s no such option out of the box, it would require custom modification.
How do I import the Demo Data?
Hello, a pre-sales question. In the registration of new users I see that two roles are created. Is it something native to the theme or a functionality that is added through external plugins? If an external plugin is needed, could you tell me which one? And one last question. Is it necessary to use WPBakery to make the Theme look like in the demo? Thank you and excuse my bad English.
Hi, user roles are built in theme. WPBakery is required.
every time I have to search my query in comment .Is there any section/ page where I can see my issue only

domain/post-a-job/.. Does the admin need to sign in everytime ? Is not there field of Salary & Last date of application in post a job section? Do we have the provision to add ?
As admin you can add jobs in wp-admin -> Job Listings -> Add new.
Salary needs to be enabled first in Job Listings -> Settings -> General -> Salary filter.
for last day of application use https://wpjobmanager.com/add-ons/application-deadline/
what do you mean by “provision to add”?
