WP Job Manager

Formatting and style is a mess. You’re going to have to do a lot of work to get it to display correctly. It’s not plug and play. I did a TON of work and code correction. When I finnaly got a job posted and tested it. I clicked a job listing to apply and thse giant black mushroom type graphics spread accross the full width of the page displayed. You had to scroll down 3 pages worth to see the job listing – which was also full PC screen width.

That was very helpful

Are these developers kidding me? I can’t log into my account on their site, I can’t post in their stupid support forum, and immediately out of the gate after installing this software my clients are having ridiculous tech issues that make us look unprofessional, but I can’t even get support for it! I even tried the support form on the Gravatar site and it’s fake — when you hit submit it says you’re not connected to the internet. Is this even a real app???

WPJM will give you a good starting point for your site but requires a bit of custom development to make things the way you want.

I’m glad the project is open source, I will make some suggestions and PRs soon.

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 The outdated, unattractive design of the job listings is a major turn-off for visitors.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.
