Hi,
The background image isn’t showing on mobile for the ‘Home Search Jobs Form’. It is showing on desktop.
Send support ticket please
I did, you’re not responding to support tickets.
I have a question : Does the theme overide the language files of Job Manager? I can see the Dutch language files in the Wp-content/languages/plugins folder for Job Manager, but It stays on English on the site
Our response time is up to 48 hours, you’ve send the ticket just yesterday evening
Oke, and what about the question?
I replied to the ticket
Hi there, I’ve been using the theme for a while but I have a question. The theme is designed for a salary range, but the theme needs to be set up with just the one currency type for this feature. So to make this a global job board, the salary range doesn’t work unless the employer can change the currency to their local one when submitting a job. So, the only option to make this a global job board is to override the salary range settings, and use the standard WP Manager Salary field, where the employer can input whatever values they like, for example, “£30,000”, “400,000 USD”, “Competitive Salary”. Whilst we can of course remove the salary range fields from the job submission page, the search results then also have no salary meta to display, as the WP Job Manager Salary field doesn’t display in the results, only on the single job page. Is there a workaround for this that you know of? Thanks, Simon
Hi
in latest update you can use the WP Job Manager Salary, you have option to show that instead of even alongside the workscout salary field, the setting is in Customizer -> Jobs Options
OK great, thanks for letting me know. I will check that out.
- Require monthly subscription for candidates to add resume.
- Candidate resume can only be browse/accessible by logged in employers.
- Free job posts for employers.
- Able to set job post expiration?
- Active & Expired job post will have their own badge/tag/category and publicly accessible.
- Once candidate membership expired, they must login to renew, else their account will be auto deleted.
- Easy to export the database/entries from WP backend?
Hi
ad1. Yes but you need https://woocommerce.com/products/woocommerce-subscriptions/ for that
ad2. Yes
ad3. Yes
ad4. Yes
ad5. There’s no badge for expired listings, and by default they are hidden (you can show them if you need)
ad6. No option like that, the resume will simply be set to expired and unpublished, until renewed
ad7. There’s many export tools for WordPress
Pre-Sale Question: Does the setup wizard install by default the WP Bakery or Elementor? Or how can we get it to install using Elementor templates?
Hi
It’s Elementor by default
Hi there, hope all is well?
Please can you let me know where the template file is located for the job listings page, is it in the workscout or WP Job Manager set of files? Thanks
Hi
all good, thanks!
it’s /workscout/template-parts/single-job.php
Lovely thank you very much!
Apologies, I should have been clearer, I meant the template file for the job results (list of jobs). I wish to alter the way the results display. Many thanks again.
Ok, the single result on list is workscout/job_manager/content-job_listing.php , the list itself is workscout/archive-job_listing.php
Hi purethemes. Is it possible to use the ajax form to search for candidates and companies?
Hi
Candidates (resumes) search is ajax based https://workscout.in/resumes/ only companies aren’t
Is there a way to remove the maps?
yes of course
On your case site, can an ordinary candidate add their company? It’s not logical, he’s just a candidate for a job. https://workscout.in/submit-company/
Candidate cant add jobs or listings.
hello, does your theme support RTL languages like Arabic language ?
Hi
No, it doesn’t
Hi, prepurchase Question:
1) Is it possible to add employees with restrictable rights to an employer account?
2) Is there a zoom or calendar plugin?
3) When an Employer creates a new job, can they query/add fields? (such as “Do you have a driver’s license – yes/no answer” or “Upload your professional license here – upload document”).
Thanks!
Hi
there are no such options
Is it possible to implement?
Technically yes, but we don’t provide customization services
Hi, I’m wondering if there might be a bug in displaying the min + MAX salary…? It only shows the minimum salary, and the max salary only shows up in certain places (like the “featured” box, but not in the actual listing.)
Is there any way to get it to display the Min + Max salary without hardcoding it into the theme files?
The only way I could get it to show up was to manually edit the theme file “template-parts/single-job.php” line 483:
echo get_workscout_currency_symbol() , $salary_min , ’ – ’ , get_workscout_currency_symbol() , $salary_max;
Which DOES technically work, but seems like a band-aid and not the “proper” way to do it. (It will also get overwritten by future theme updates). Is there a setting I’m missing or a bug to be fixed? Thank you very much!
I should clarify, I CHANGED line 483 in “template-parts/single-job.php”
FROM: echo $salary_min;
TO: echo get_workscout_currency_symbol() , $salary_min , ’ – ’ , get_workscout_currency_symbol() , $salary_max;
because it’s showing ONLY the min salary but not the max. Changing it now shows the max, but I feel like that should not be?
Hi
well you have this whole section after that echo $salary_min that display salary max https://share.cleanshot.com/yCmsThqB if it’s set, and if it’s numeric and higher then minimum salary, so generally it is displayed there out of the box (make sure you have the latest version)
Hi,
Ah, thank you. I did see that section after the echo code that referred to max salary but thought that might be where the problem was. Looks like the code is fine, but the problem is having commas in our salary fields. We do have both min and max set, but it turns out, if we have commas in them (i.e. 30,000 – 40,000) then it does not recognize them as numeric and the min/max field does not display. It also doesn’t put the $ currency symbol in front of it. So with commas, it must not recognize it as a valid salary.
If we remove the commas from the salary fields (i.e. 30000 – 40000) then everything works.
Is this intentional, or is there anything that could be done to fix that or account for the commas?
If not, we CAN make it work, but I’ll have to go through about 500 job entries (or do an sql search/replace maybe) to remove all the commas from the salary fields. Either way, thank you for your response!
The number has to be without any format because we use function number_format_i18n to format it correctly, but to fix it remove the part “&& is_numeric($salary_max)” and remove the number_format_i18n
Thank you for the reply! I actually already went in and did an sql search/replace and just replaced all my ,000 (comma 000) with plain 000, and that made the formatting work correctly.
ALMOST everywhere, at least…. it seems the “featured carousel” and “salary filter” checkbox are not formatting salaries with commas. In those locations, they show up as 100000 instead of 100,000 from the actual post/listing. But you are correct, I definitely want to keep the numbers without any formatting to keep them in proper WP Job Manager format. So, all good there. 
Pre-purchase question: Is there a way or inbuilt system to for automated job scraping. So the site does not start out empty.
Hi
no, we don’t have anything for that.
Pre-purchase : I can see how t register and login as a candidate or employer but not as the site owner. Can you give me the link to see the site owner dashboard. Thanks
Sorry, we don’t provide admin access to demo page.
Hello I add “Accept to Privacy Policy” but I need add something more, how can I add “Accept statute” below?
You can define new field in Listeo Editor -> User Fields, and then add it registration form in Listeo Editor -> Registration, you have option for checkbox field there so you can duplicate similar function as “Privacy Policy”
Please remember to remove the Job ID field, I read in another comment that it was left in by mistake. Thanks
It’s actually now an option in core and you can hide it in Customize -> Jobs Options -> Single Job https://share.cleanshot.com/rYrMT8r7
Thank you!
Hello, on your demo page: https://workscout.in/companies/ is it possible to enable the map feature + searching by location?
Hi, we don’t have such option currently
can i make candidate pay for subscription
Only for submitting resumes, and you need WooCommerce Subscriptions plugin
Can I use this theme to create a private business broker listing site similar to BizBuySell? Can I modify filters etc to reflect business information instead of job information?
I think it would be easier to achieve with our other theme, Listeo https://themeforest.net/item/listeo-directory-listings-wordpress-theme/23239259
How secure are your themes from outsiders being able to scrape user information? Or are there other precautions one should take in order to prevent data scrapers to grab platform user information?
That’s not really in theme functionality scope to prevent web scraping. We don’t have anything for that purpose
Understood. but you do have some form of paid wall?
No, you’d need 3rd party plugins for that, an extended license
thanks
Hi,
so the location is running very slow on typing for eg. arizona it takes 18 – 20 seconds and cache is there, i have tried everything, we are on cloud server with highest memory ram and everything that is required, Please check https://turn-to.com to see the issue and please provide a fix for it.
Hi
you have almost 400k job listings on that page, I don’t think I’ve seen a higher number of jobs on a WordPress based site.
There’s no “fix” for that, it’s a WordPress theme, it’s not made for such big data volume. If you search by radius it actually need to take each job latitude and longitude value and using a mathematical formula calculate a distance from searched point, and then it selects the jobs that match. And it’s doing that for 400k jobs. I’m actually surprised it works , you must have some really good server. I’ve seen sites with 10k jobs that the radius based search killed (but that’s on cheap shared hosting). That’s really a lot of jobs listing, the biggest sites in my country has 1/4 of that, and I can assure you they are not using a WordPress theme for that.
To summarize, I’m sorry but there’s nothing I can do here. For this volume of data, considering how WordPress stores the data in database, this would require some optimization or using some tools that are beyond my experience.
It seems that the Indeed.com import no longer works because Indeed has deactivated this publisher interface. Can you confirm that?
Is there a way to import several thousand job posts from a job board like Careerjet.com or other one in just one step?
Do you offer individual customization and plugin development for workscout? If so, which is the best way to communicate with you? Thanks!
Yes I can confirm that. For importing you can try with https://wordpress.org/plugins/go-fetch-jobs-wp-job-manager/ or if you have csv/xml with jobs you can use https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-job-manager-xml-csv-listings-import/
It seems that indeed.com has been working properly again for a few hours.
Do you offer individual customization and plugin development for workscout? If so, which is the best way to communicate with you? Thanks!
Well the official indeed add-on was discountinued in Novemebr 2020 https://wpjobmanager.com/document/indeed-integration/
we don’t provide customization services
Hello,
I’ve tryied to make the search by location work correctly but it seems that there’s a bug somewhere, even on the demo website if you search for jobs in Paris, it doesn’t show any, even if you have one listed. And from what I’ve seen on my development website even if I use Google Maps JS API the radius doesn’t work so if there’s a job listing in a city nearby it will never show it. Can you please look into it and see if you can fix it ?
Another question is also related to locations for job listings, as I would like to create links that will filter automatically the jobs in a certain location and I cannot currently seem to find a way to do that (maybe with query parameters?). I am not looking to use the regions plugin because I would need to add thousands of locations and the that taxonomy would load extremly slow on the admin side while editing a job listing (tried it already and it’s way too slow), so I’m currently sticking to the maps integration instead but I want to be able to have a way to create the dedicated link to the jobs in a city.
Thank you for your help.
Hi
actually demo page doesn’t use radius based search, I just realized the API key has expired but still I think it wasn’t active as it generated quite a lot of costs with users playing around the search engine and suggestions. Anyway, I can assure you it works correctly if you have correctly configured the API key and it’s not restricted to your domain but to your server IP. If you are sure it’s correct but the city doesn’t show, you need to maybe increase the default radius, it’s 50km by default, you can change it in WorkSout Core -> Map settings.
If you’ll have problems with that please contact us via Support Tab
as for locations, the only way to do it is to have links like https://workscout.in/browse-jobs/?search_location=Paris (which btw shows 2 jobs in paris on the demo page)
