Date Format and Syntax

Hey @afostre,

Is there any particular format I need to use?

Any format supported by PHP’s strtotime function should work: https://www.php.net/manual/en/function.strtotime.php.

If that doesn’t help, please replicate your import on a sandbox site at https://www.wpallimport.com/debug/ (you can install WP Job Manager there), then open a support request at https://www.wpallimport.com/support/ with the sandbox site URL and a brief description of the issue. We’ll have to run tests with your import to figure out why the dates aren’t importing as expected.

Thank you, I was able to replicate the bug and demonstrate that imports using the WP Job Manager extension for Application Deadlines is not functioning properly with imports, despite using the _job_deadline tag.

However, I’m still experiencing problems with the Expires tag for WP Job Manager, which means there is a conflict on my build (perhaps the theme or another plugin such as WPJM Custom Fields).

I’ll report my findings and solutions here.

Hi @wpallimport

I was able to identify the source of the problem. The metatag used for the Application Deadline field was being shown as “_job_deadline” within my inspector, but it is actually _application_deadline. The tool known as WP Job Manager Custom Fields was used to collect the data – I’ll be reporting this bug to them.

I was also having problems with the Listing Expiration date, the default tag is _job_expires but my site has it changed to _expiration_date. This might be changed by WPJM CF, or by the theme itself.

Thanks for your help!
