Adding Custom Salary Field

There is a detailed example https://github.com/mikejolley/WP-Job-Manager/wiki/Editing-Job-Submission-Fields

If you cannot manage that, I’d recommend getting someone to do it via Codeable or Tweaky.

Thank you, I had not previously seen those instructions. It is now added to the front end. It is not showing in the admin area.

Now, I am working on showing the new salary on the content-job_listing.php template. The salary is not showing.

I added this code to my themes functions.php

function get_the_job_salary( $post = null ) {
	$post = get_post( $post );

	if ( $post->post_type !== 'job_listing' )
		return;

	return apply_filters( 'the_job_salary', $post->_job_salary, $post );
}

Then I added this line to show it on the content-job_listing.php

<li class="date"><?php echo the_job_salary(); ?></li>

What I am doing wrong that it is not showing? Thank you for your help.

the_job_salary doesn’t exist. Use https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Function_Reference/get_post_meta

I feel like I am so close, but still so far from getting this field to display on my Jobs. Can you hold my hand a little on this one?

I have changed content-job_listings.php to:

<li class="date"><?php
$job_salary_value = get_post_meta( get_the_ID(), 'job_salary', true );
// check if the custom field has a value
if( ! empty( $job_salary_value ) ) {
  echo $job_salary_value;
}
?>
 </li>

Try $job_salary_value = get_post_meta( get_the_ID(), '_job_salary', true );
