    Unfortunately following those instructions does not result in display switching between list and grid view. Page continues to show list view always irrespective of radio button setting.

    Turns out that the Job Listing Contents toggle also does not do what it is supposed to. Keep showing Logo and details inspite of changing to without.

    Know what the issues is?

      Dear Prakash,

      It seems that you have made so many customization in the plugin due to which its functions stopped working.

      Please revert those changes, things will start working again.

    Hi, i would like to ask
    (1) How to edit the php files? should we do it through FTP?
    (2) I used short code to view only 10 job posting per page. But when i click on page number “2” or click on next, it stays on the same page, even though it display “2” and “Next.”
    (3) Is it possible to display the job categories in different pages, e.g. one page only for Full time job, and another page links to part time job and another page display only internship.

      Hello Medhav,

      1) Yes, you can do it through FTP & also can via CPanel.
      2) It might be due to SJB plugin conflict with your website plugins or code. Please deactivate all plugins except Simple Job Board and then see this issue. If issue is not resolved then switch your theme to any WP twenty theme and see the issue again. Let us know if the problem still persists.
      3) Yes, you can use a shortcode on post page i.e. [jobpost category=”category-slug”]

      Please deactivate your website all plugins except SJB, switch your theme to any WP Twenty theme and then see this issue. Let us know if the problem still persists.

      Hello Emily,

      Have you modified the Job Board core files? If yes then please undo these changes and then take a try to save the default form fields again.

      Also, deactivate all the plugins except Job Board with the default WP Twenty theme and then try to save the form fields. Maybe your installed plugins or theme conflict with our plugin.

      Let us know if you are still facing an issue.

          Hello Emily,

          We suggested you just for testing purpose. We are not saying you for switching your theme permanently. Sometimes, the code or script used in the theme or third party plugin disturb the plugin functionality that’s why we recommended you to switch the theme for a while.

          If your site is configured on development server then take a try to switch the theme to default WP Twenty theme and deactivate the plugin one by one so you can find out which plugin or code is breaking the functionality of Job Board.

          Thanks & Regards,

    Hi There. Please can you direct me in the right direction as a starting point. I need to create a custom thank you page when the application is submitted. So instead of the page refreshing with a Thank You Message like it currently does, there needs to open a new custom page.

    I know I need to work with the following 3 files, however I just need direction on which parts I need to configure on the following pages:

    simple-job-board-public.js
    class-simple-job-board-ajax.php
    class-simple-job-board-public.php

    Please could you direct me regarding this.

      Hello Rudi,

      For this customization, first you have to understand the code structure of the Job Board and then modify it as per your needs.

      Also, hooks are available to extend the functionally of Job Board. If you know the usage of WP hooks then please utilize them. If not then we strongly suggest you please take help from a programmer.

      Note: Don’t make any change in Job Board core files, after the plugin update your modifications will be lost.

    Hi,

    The plugin is great and very ease to use.. I just need one help. instead of using pagination, can I simply define the number of jobs I want to show on front page?

    My idea is to add the job-post shortcode on an independent page called ALL JOBS and show only 3 or at the max 5 recent jobs on the front/landing page without pagination, kindly assist.

    Thank you

    Hello Krishna,

    There are two solutions for removing pagination:

    – You can only hide it with CSS display “none” property.

    – You can use SJB templating feature, override the pagination template into your activated theme and then remove the pagination code.

    Thank you for writing to us. Let us know if you need our further assistance.

        a) At the end of the form there is a field to send a file, but how to translate the “Browse” and “No file chosen” ? And also the “Submit” button ?

        b) I have now purchase the multi file attachement plugin “Simple Job Board Multiple Attachment Fields” but I want to choose the order of the attachement fields. Because there is always the field “CV attachement” at the end and I want it as firs attachement field.

          Hello Daniel,

          Here are the following answers to your questions.

          – You can translate your Simple Job Board in any language, you can do this using POEDIT software. You just have to follow the below instructions.

          Using POEDIT, you just have to create the .po file, add the lang_code with the file name and add the strings with their translation like simple-job-board-lang_code.po and place the file in plugin languages (simple-job-board/languages) directory. After adding strings with translation compile the .po file with POEDIT, it will generate .mo file.

          You can also add strings with their translation at GlotPress.

          GlotPress Team validates the translation, after validation, it will be updated on GlotPress and you can get translation via WordPress updates.

          – Currently, it is not possible you have to write custom code to change the order of the resume attachment field as per your needs.

          Thanks & Regards,

            Here are the answers to your questions.

            – For attachments, you can buy our Email Attachment add-on from our marketplace.

            – Yes, you can customize the email notification template. For this, you have to understand the plugin structure and having knowledge about how to use WP hooks.
            As a glimpse you can explore class-simple-job-board-notifications.php file placed in the following directory:
            simple-job-board/includes

            – You can use job features field as a reference number to differentiate with other jobs.

    Hi,

    We discovered some kind of bug in the application form, which I don’t really understand.

    We have the email field required, and therefore it shows the *-symbol behind the label. As soon as the applicant types in his address, the *-symbol somehow disappears and doesn’t come back.

    I believe that we didn’t make any changes to the template or other code of the plugin. Any suggestions?

      Hello Christian,

      You can find the applicant’s resume by going to the Dashboard > SJB > Applicants > applicant’s page. For downloading the resume click on the Resume link, given at the top, with the applicant’s name at the applicant’s detail page.

      Thank you for contacting us. Please let us know if you need any further assistance.

      Hello Neha,

      Without files, you can’t customize the Job Board template. Code file access is necessary and you can do this through SJB Templating.

      Thanks for reaching us out. Let us know if you need any other assistance from us.

      You can use SJB Templating feature for customize the SJB default templates.

    Hi,
    beforehand thanks for the great plugin!

    I want to know is there a notification for each applicants stage/status? I believe currently only for the application received status (NEW). Is there further notification for Shortlisted, Rejected and Selected status? Also where do I customized the email templates?

    Thank you in advance,
