Unable to remove fields

@georgehcook

this one here should work

add_filter( 'submit_job_form_fields', 'gma_custom_submit_job_form_fields');

functiongma_custom_submit_job_form_fields( $fields) {

    unset($fields['company']['company_name']);

    unset($fields['company']['company_website']);

    unset($fields['company']['company_tagline']);

    unset($fields['company']['company_video']);

    unset($fields['company']['company_twitter']);

    unset($fields['company']['company_logo']);

    return$fields;

}

Hi @georgehcook ,

A couple of notes here:

1 – we recommend placing custom code in a plugin like Code Snippets instead of directly into functions.php. The main reasons for that are: a) the code will be overwritten in functions.php on any theme update, and b) if you enter bad/incorrect code, Code Snippets makes it easier to recover from the ensuing site crash.

2 – you might also look at this plugin: WP Job Manager Field Editor. We don’t make it, and it’s a paid plugin, but it makes customizing your various form fields in WPJM much easier.

We don’t provide support for custom code, so thanks, @braehler , for stepping in! ??

Best,

@braehler, that’s pretty much the same code I used (I just used a different function name), and it does not work for me. I even changed the function name to be the same, and it did not work.

@cena, I understand. I was trying to do this without installing another plugin, as my office already has to manage updates to 100+ different plugins, and it is a major time suck. (And where I work, there is so much administrative overhead involved in paying for paid plugins that it’s just not an option for me.)

I have solved the problem. This is the code that works. The key confusion is that I am removing it from the jobs dashboard. I didn’t have a good enough understanding of the nomenclature, so was removing them from the wrong place.

add_filter(‘job_manager_job_listing_wp_admin_fields’,’remove_job_form_fields’);
function remove_job_form_fields($fields) {
unset($fields[‘_company_tagline’]);
unset($fields[‘_company_video’]);
unset($fields[‘_company_twitter’]);
unset($fields[‘_filled’]);
unset($fields[‘_featured’]);
return $fields;
}

Hi @georgehcook –

I’m glad that you got this resolved. Thanks also for sharing the code, it may help others in the future.

I’m glad that you got this sorted out.
