Adding a salary field

    Dear community,

    I have problems with adding a salary (or a similar) field to my website.
    I use the newest Version of Listify theme together with the following Plugins and I did not make any customizations to the code:
    WP Job Manager
    Regions for WP Job Manager
    Listing Labels for WP Job Manager
    Contact Listing for WP Job Manager

    I followed this tutorial:
    https://wpjobmanager.com/document/tutorial-adding-a-salary-field-for-jobs/

    But it is not really working. On the search results page there you can see the new field called “salary” and the checkboxes for filtering are also there.
    But whether in the backend nor in the frontend page called “submit a listing” there is no new field where I can type in the value.

    Did somebody have a similar problem? Is the tutorial maybe not up to date?

    Thank you all in advance!

    Best,
    Tobi

  • hello dear Tobi,

    many many thanks for stepping up the plate with this awesome idea. I really like this feature. It makes wp-jobmanager even better.

    i have read through the documentation and i have to say. This is a really great idea
    https://wpjobmanager.com/document/tutorial-adding-a-salary-field-for-jobs/

    at the moment i do not know how to assist you since i am not at home at the computer.
    But i hope that finally – we can fix this issue and cope with the challenge.

    A salary-field is a superb idea!!!!

    above all: i am a big fan of WP-Jobmanager and it is one of my fav-plugins for more than 5 years now. keep up the great project: it rocks

    regards
    plugin fan;)

    HI @th7tobi ,

    We ddo have an open issue to add the Salary field to WPJM, but it’s not as easy as it may appear (see this issue for more details): https://github.com/Automattic/WP-Job-Manager/issues/1320

    That said, the tutorial you pointed to should work (and does on my test site), so I’d try:

    1) – make sure the code snippet is in a plugin like Code Snippets (https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/code-snippets) rather than functions.php. That will ensure that it isn’t overwritten during updates, won’t crash your site/cause unexpected behavior if it’s entered incorrectly, and you can also enable/disable it at will.

    2) It’s possible that there might be a conflict with one of your current plugins or your theme.

    Try disabling all of your plugins except WP Job Manager. Then try testing again to see if the issue persists. If that resolves your issue, you can find what was causing it by enabling each plugin one by one while continuing to test.

    If that doesn’t help, you can also try switching to the Twenty Twenty theme via Appearance > Themes, and test again. If the issue is resolved then you know it’s a problem with the theme, and you’ll need to contact the theme author for further assistance.

    Best,
    Cena
