    hello dear all good day dear WP-Job-Manager-experts

    i guess that we can add widget to the front page of a WordPress site that contains a “Post a Job” widget for the WP Job Manager plugin.
    While the specific implementation might depend on the theme and the widget plugin we’re using – i for one use the jobify-theme.

    note: sometimes i need to write down some steps to figure out how something works correctly for me. It helps me to learn the functions and it teaches me to get more and more confidence in working with new plugins. So i have written down the needed steps for this little workaround.

    note: here the guideline using the shortcodes for setting up the Wp-Job-Manager-page.Here’s how we can add the “Post a Job” widget to our front page using a shortcode:

    Once WP Job Manager is activated, we can navigate to the “Widgets” section under “Appearance” in our WordPress admin dashboard.Then we look for the widget area where we want to add the “Post a Job” widget.
    It may (could) be the front page widget area, a sidebar, or a footer area. we have to click on the widget area to expand it.

    then we locate the “Text” widget (or a similar widget that allows you to add custom HTML or shortcode) and drag it to the desired widget area.

    In the “Text” widget settings, we can add the shortcode for the “Post a Job” form. The shortcode for the “Post a Job” form provided by WP Job Manager is – the so called Post a Job shortcode: here it is:

    [submit_job_form]

    we have to copy and paste this shortcode into the content area of the “Text” widget – and afterwards then we save the widget settings.

    after all we visit our front page to see the “Post a Job” widget displayed in the chosen widget area. we might need to refresh the page or clear your cache to see the changes. Note: The steps provided above are a general guideline and might the vary depending on the theme and the widget plugin we re using.

    btw: what if i only want to display not the full submit a job widget – is this possible!?

    Hi @lebrochet –

    i guess that we can add widget to the front page of a WordPress site that contains a “Post a Job” widget for the WP Job Manager plugin.
    While the specific implementation might depend on the theme and the widget plugin we’re using – i for one use the jobify-theme.

    WP Job Manager doesn’t include a “Post a Job” widget. If your site has one, that is coming from another theme or plugin.

    what if i only want to display not the full submit a job widget – is this possible!?

    This isn’t going to be possible without custom work. You would need to edit the template for the job submission form, but that would also affect the main job submission form. If you wanted to go that route, this documentation will be helpful:

    Please note that we can’t assist with this level of customization our support policy.
