Hi,

Since the last WordPress update the categories (location & sector) aren’t coming through correctly anymore on the website. Do you have any idea what could be the cause of this problem or how we can fix this?

One of my client has said that in Broadbean they just see a question mark about the jobs posted status on the website.

Broadbean support have told them it’s because of an error on the website when the jobs is posted.

From what I can see there are some PHP errors in the plugin, so I’m curious if this could be causing it.

Here are the errors: https://capture.dropbox.com/AYtYrYx8yVNMxrcB

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Seb.

Hi,

Does the plugin have any support for jobs with salaries marked as “hidden” in Broadbean?

It seems these jobs are pulling through the salary regardless and I wanted to know if there’s a way around this?

Thanks,
Seb.

Hello Support

We have an issue with the email addresses being exported into broadbean, the candidates email address gets populated with the email addresses of the broadbean administrator

We spoke to Broadbean and they have given us this info below, saying to contact the developer, as the email headers are being sent wrong..

`We are currently receiving candidates via email from you in this format:

From: [OK]   S***h G******y office@***-******.co.uk

Reply-To:[OK]   s*********[email protected]

To: [OK]   office@***-*******.co.uk, rachaels.26134.7851@**********.aplitrak.com

From: [OK]   S***h G******y office@***-******.co.uk

Reply-To: [OK]   candidate name <candidate email>

To: [OK]   office@job-*******.co.uk, rachaels.26134.7851@********.aplitrak.com

Please let me know when you have applied the changes and we’ll apply changes to the feed.`

My question is, how can this have happened as the WP plugin has not been upgraded or touched for over 2 years ( they are on version 2.4 not 3.0 )

And if the issue is with the plugin not exporting the email addresses in the correct order, where about can we check this code to make sure it is correct ?

thanks

Matt

Hi Mark

Can you tell me , once a client submits a job application, are they supposed to get a email receipt to say they have applied etc ?

I’ve looked at the features list and can’t see any info about this.

When testing this for my customer, i do not see any emails sent in the mail logs or any output on the screen when a application has been submitted.

Thanks

Hi all,

I wanted to just pin this support thread with some important information. The WP Broadbean plugin is free, open source and provides a developer framework for integrating Broadbean with WordPress.

It is by no means an out of the box solution and if you are NOT A DEVELOPER it is highly likely this solution is not right for you.

We don’t provide free support for this plugin.

In fact this plugin is not even the best way to integrate Broadbean. The easiest, cheapest and fastest way to integrate Broadbean with WordPress is to use JobRelay. I would highly recommend using JobRelay instead of this plugin.

Hi,

When jobs are imported from Broadbean to our website the job descriptions appear to be missing any links that have been added, is there some sort of setting that strips these out or is this a bug?

Cheers, Tom

Hello Guys,

I have installed the plugin on my website. I have faced the problem of not getting/auto adding jobs in WP Broadbean > jobs list in Dashboard which posted by BroadBean.
Can you please let me know the case why jobs are not adding?

If I add the job via postman request https://domain.com/wpbb/jobfeed/?wpbb=broadbean then it adds in the dashboard but I don’t know why it’s not adding automatically

WordPress Version: 5.6
WP Broadbean Plugin Version 2.2.1

Thank You!

Hi there,

So I’ve had some requests from Broadbean and I have no idea what they mean:

1. “Can you decode the URL before returning it in the success message?”
Does anyone know what this might mean?

2. “Salary at the bottom of the job advert doesn’t show, but I am sending a value in <salary> field, can this be looked into.”
Anyone know what this might mean?

3. “Are there any character limits I need to be aware of?”
Literally no idea with this one – anyone know?

Thanks for your help ??

Best wishes

Hi,

I’m using your plugin to pull in jobs from Bullhorn. But the currency symbol is set to ￡

Bullhorn settings have been set to AUD$

How do I change ￡ to $?

Thanks

Hi Mark,

Is there a particular way we need to set up or configure the plugin in order to get it to work with Idibu?

This is the issue they said they have:

“The plugin’s settings page states that:
Your sites endpoint URL is: https://chromarecruitment.com/wpbb/jobfeed/
which is indeed the proper endpoint that we also post to for other websites.

However, normally when you access this link, you would always receive some sort of response. Even manually accessing it through a browser would return:
Feed contains no valid XML data.
In the case of Chroma, we just get a 404 error – both when accessing manually and when trying to post.”

Thank you,
Denisa

Hi,

We are having an issue where the jobs from Broadbean are posting on WordPress everyday, so we have multiple duplicates of every job advert on the site.

Anyone have any ideas? I can’t see any settings in the plugin itself, or in the Broadbean dashboard. Seems quite random.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Mark,

I have a client who is running WP Broadbean, it works flawlessly when notifications are sent via the server, however they ideally need to be run via an SMTP relay.

When we configure the relay (using WP Mail SMTP), all emails on the site go via this as expected, except mail sent via WP Broadbean.

I’ve been troubleshooting this with the Office 365 exchange and there doesn’t seem to be anything arriving/being forwarded etc. at the relay mailbox.

I noticed there was a couple of other people with issues using an SMTP relay and WP Broadbean and wondered if there is a solution to this?

Any help or guidance is very much appreciated!

Thanks, Drew

I’m working with Broadbean to complete a clients integration and they have requested that the URL is returned non-encoded.

The URL is currently being returned to them as:
clientsdomain.com/jobs/t%c5%91ke-%c2%a3-%e2%82%ac-2-915/

However they have requested to return
clientsdomain.com/jobs/t?ke-￡-€-2-915/

I’ve had a rummage in the codebase and have found templates/inbox.php where line 253-258 echos the response I’ve seen when posting the XML:

	// set some echo text.
	$text = sprintf(
		// translators: 1: job post id.
		__( 'Success! Job added/updated with a post ID of %1s. You can view the job here: %2s', 'wpbroadbean' ),
		$job_id,
		get_permalink( $job_id )
	);

Can I sanitise this string to return the clean domain as requested, or do I need to approach this in a different way?

TIA for your feedback on this.

Hi team,

I’m a dev working with your plugin on a client’s site and I’m having trouble figuring out why the application form is rendering as text rather than input fields:

</div>

I have deactivated the theme and tried TwentyTwenty, and the form works fine so I know it’s a theme issue. I’ve added a few functions to add meta fields etc but even after deactivating these it still doesn’t work. I’ve tried commenting out the JS and still no resolution so I don’t think it’s any of those causing it. Have you come across this before, and if so any tips would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Hi, I’ve just installed the plugin (on a staging site hosted at WPEngine) and I’m getting a 401 Unauthorized error when trying to POST to the endpoint URL. I’m using a copy of the example XML so I know the syntax is correct. I’ve already asked WPEngine about the issue and there is nothing they can see in their logs, saying it must be a problem with the plugin. They can confirm SimpleXML is enabled as you can see yourself in phpinfo: https://oceaniahealth.staging.wpengine.com/phpinfo.php

Of course I’ve double-checked that the username and password used in the XML matches the plugin settings, so not sure why it would say username or password is incorrect? Is this plugin compatible with php 7.3 or 7.4? Any other ideas what is wrong?

Here’s the error:

I am trying to publish job information by using the meta data of the post types instances created when BroadBean pushes out the job to the plugin’s endpoint. So far, so good.

I noticed that the plugin has “Days to Advertise” field, and I used that to figure out the expiry date (Date Published + Days to Advertise = Expiry Date).

Seems like the value I got is incorrect (I don’t have access to the interface that pushes out the jobs) but the person pushing the jobs mentions she sets an expiry date as highlighted below:

https://1drv.ms/u/s!AuYDDdfI2CCi37MdCEkZEWp0KEkNcg

Questions:

1. Where does the plugin get the ‘days to advertise’ value? In the example above, that field was set to 30
2. Is this pushed somewhere into the plugin? I cannot find it anywhere in the post type’s field.

Thanks in advance for your help.

I’m getting the following error when broadbean post jobs to my site. Any ideas what is causing this and how to resolve?

Hello,

I am currently building a site for a client which utilizes the broadbean plugin that highrise digital have released on the wordpress plugin directory.

During this integration broadbean QA has picked up on an issue regarding incorrect information being displayed.

Here’s what they said:

QA had carried out the following test post with the job title:

<job_title>AdCourier Test 3</job_title>

however it seems to display the a different job than the one that was posted.

For example the job title, industry and locations are all different to what were posted:

View post on imgur.com

What we had sent:

<job_title>AdCourier Test 3</job_title>
<job_location>Gillingham, Dorset</job_location>
<job_industry>Engineering</job_industry>

I’m creating custom templates, so have tried to echo the form on the page where I need it, rather than just appended at the end of the content.

However, whilst I can get the form to display. It doesn’t send any data back to broadbean.

Am I doing something wrong here?

Hello, we have been using Logic Melon to post jobs to our website for a few months now but since two days ago, it has stopped working. The job does not appear in the WP Broadbean jobs section and we get an error message in return in Logicmelon as per below:
objResponse null
No response received from the server

Also when i click this url Your sites endpoint URL is: https://www.swr.uk.net/wpbb/jobfeed/ in broadbean i get an error message
“Feed contains no valid XML data.”
i’m not sure if that is relevant at all.
i can post manually but not with logic melon.

thanks in advance
Alan

Hello, is there any way to integrate with the WPML plugin?

Hi!
Hope all is well? I have a quick question!

We are utilising your WP Broadbean Plugin on this website https://rubixmande.com/

I have been liaising with Broadbean in an attempt to change industry sectors to limit them to only four catagories on the site. They have asked us to provide them with the ‘Sector Node’ so they can add it to the xml.

Can you help? We have no idea where to source this information from.

Ben

hi Mark

If I run a job test from Broadbean – the details are being published which is fine. But if I view the CATEGORY [post archives view] in wordpress only the Job Title and Description are being shown — how can the JOB INFORMATION be shown on the category archive page also please

it is the info contained within class=”wpbb-job-data__wrapper” that I want to show on teh archive page along with the Title and Job Description

thanks

Philip

hi Mark

Where you list the label JOB INDUSTRY – is it possible to change that to JOB CATEGORY instead?

if so how do you do that?

thanks

Philip

hi Mark

Is it possible to display JOBS by CATEGORY and SUB CATEGORY? or will they already be categorised when received from our Broadbean account?

Are the SHORTCODES [via the Add On plugin] capable of being customised to display jobs per CATEGORY on any Post or Page?

Are the CATEGORIES something that needs configured in the Broadbean account?

regards

Philip

Hi,

When will the search addon be available? If it’s a long way away do you have any other recommendations for filtering the jobs?

Thanks

Hi

I’m trying to get a client setup with a Broadbean account and integrate to their site.

I’ve downloaded the latest version of the plugin and am on the latest version of WP.

Have set a username and password in the settings and placed them into the sample XML provided, then send the XML over to Broadbean to test and they get the errors below when trying to send via Postman.

Currently the site is sat where it will live but has an IP address for the domain and looks like this https://111.11.11.11/~clientname as their domain isn’t pointing to the new site yet.

Any ideas welcomed at the point, Broadbean are exceptionally unhelpful and wont even book the integration into their 8 week wait time until it’s fixed.

Many thanks
