WP Job Manager

الوصف

WP Job Manager is a lightweight job listing plugin for adding job board functionality to your WordPress site. Being shortcode based, it can work with any theme (given a bit of CSS styling) and is really simple to setup.

Features

  • Add, manage, and categorize job listings using the familiar WordPress UI.
  • Searchable & filterable ajax powered job listings added to your pages via shortcodes.
  • Frontend forms for guests and registered users to submit & manage job listings.
  • Allow job listers to preview their listing before it goes live. The preview matches the appearance of a live job listing.
  • Each listing can be tied to an email or website address so that job seekers can apply to the jobs.
  • Searches also display RSS links to allow job seekers to be alerted to new jobs matching their search.
  • Allow logged in employers to view, edit, mark filled, or delete their active job listings.
  • Job statistics for employers about job listing views and search impressions.
  • Developer friendly code – Custom post types, endpoints & template files.

The plugin comes with several shortcodes to output jobs in various formats, and since its built with Custom Post Types you are free to extend it further through themes.

Automatic installation

Automatic installation is the easiest option as WordPress handles the file transfers itself and you don’t even need to leave your web browser. To do an automatic install, log in to your WordPress admin panel, navigate to the Plugins menu and click Add New.

In the search field type “WP Job Manager” and click Search Plugins. Once you’ve found the plugin you can view details about it such as the point release, rating and description. Most importantly of course, you can install it by clicking Install Now.

Manual installation

The manual installation method involves downloading the plugin and uploading it to your web server via your favorite FTP application.

  • Download the plugin file to your computer and unzip it
  • Using an FTP program, or your hosting control panel, upload the unzipped plugin folder to your WordPress installation’s wp-content/plugins/ directory.
  • Activate the plugin from the Plugins menu within the WordPress admin.

Getting started

Once installed:

  1. Create a page called “jobs” and inside place the [jobs] shortcode. This will list your jobs.
  2. Create a page called “submit job” and inside place the [submit_job_form] shortcode if you want front-end submissions.
  3. Create a page called “job dashboard” and inside place the [job_dashboard] shortcode for logged in users to manage their listings.

Note when using shortcodes, if the content looks blown up/spaced out/poorly styled, edit your page and above the visual editor click on the ‘text’ tab. Then remove any ‘pre’ or ‘code’ tags wrapping your shortcode.

For more information, read the documentation.

WP Job Manager is a total disaster for any website aiming for a modern and professional look. The outdated, unattractive design of the job listings is a major turn-off for visitors. After trying to integrate it into popular WordPress themes like Avada, Astra, and Divi, I was met with a terrible result: the site looked cheap and unprofessional. To fix it to a decent standard, I would have to spend a fortune on a designer and developer. The plugin developers must be living in the past because they’ve failed to update the design to meet current standards.This has led to a surge of scammers selling their ‘premium’ themes for WP Job Manager on platforms like ThemeForest. I personally bought Cariera, Jobify, and WorkScout – all of which turned out to be empty promises. These themes are unstable, display inconsistently across different browsers, and conflict with other essential WordPress plugins. Reaching out to the developers is like shouting into the void. But the biggest issue is that WP Job Manager is completely unsuitable for niche-specific job boards. The lack of ability to add custom fields and filters is a crime for a plugin like this. I’ve had to resort to using additional plugins like WP Job Manager Field Editor and Search and Filtering for WP Job Manager, but they’re just as buggy as the main plugin. And their developer never responds to support tickets. Developers, wake up! You’ve created a product that nobody needs in this state.

The ridiculous requirement to log in with Gravatar has caused us to lose access to our account. Without account access, it’s impossible to reach a human in support. Password reset links don’t work, so you can’t reset your password either. The whole system is a complete mess. This is a paid plugin and should include support, but if you get logged out, you’re left with no support at all. Will find another pluging with proper support.

It’s one of the best job listing plugins, and many job board themes are relying on it. However, you really need to have some dev experience to make it work for your specific case. That’s where the premium plugins come into play.

The free version is limited to posting simple job board ads. Visitors can then click to email you to apply. The job application form is a paid add-on, but it is very limited to only hosting one form for all jobs. The back-end view for managers looking at job applicants is very limited as well. I expected more from Automatic.

I have come back to this plugin time and time again as its very robust and user friendly to setup. Also great support when needed. Plenty of solid addons also available for the plugin, looking forward to the new releases and enhanced features. Thank you.
