“Apply For Job” button

  • Resolved dstrig

    By default, this button reveals the following text:

    “To apply for this job please visit <email>”

    where <email> is whatever is supplied in the “Application contact” field under the Job Data section for the given job posting.

    For the jobs I posted several months ago (example: https://knifemaker.com/job/2nd-shift-cnc-milling-machine-operator-a/), I was able to instead make this say:

    “To apply for this job email your details to <email>.”

    I cannot for the life of me remember how/where I did this nor can I find it now.

    Based on similar topics here, I suspect a response might point me to article https://docs.jobboardwp.com/article/1570-templates-structure
    I don’t think I did what’s described in that article to make this change the first time, as I can’t understand what that article is telling me to do.

    Hi @dstrig

    Please check the way where you might change these texts via translations (or translation plugins). It can be Loco translate or Polylang string translator or some other solutions that aren’t released on wp.org platform.

    Anyway, you can change these texts in the way in this article https://docs.jobboardwp.com/article/1570-templates-structure It’s a popular way to edit templates through your theme/child-theme.

    Let me know if you have other questions,
    Best Regards!

    Thank you for the reply. Sorry I’m such a wp newb but do I edit theme/child-theme via Theme Panel in the admin console? I didn’t use Loco or Polylang, if I remember right, I just directly edited the html somewhere.

    From view source, I know I have to change the one line indicated below, I just can’t find how I changed it.

    <div class="jb-job-footer">
<div class="jb-job-footer-row">
<div class="jb-job-apply-wrapper">
<input type="button" class="jb-button jb-job-apply" value="Apply for job" />
<div class="jb-job-apply-description">
<p>

<!-- I'M SURE THE LINE BELOW IS THE ONLY THING I CHANGED -->
To apply for this job <strong>email your details to</strong> <a href="mailto:[email protected]?subject=Application via 2nd shift – CNC Milling Machine Operator – A job on https://knifemaker.com">[email protected]</a>.

</p>
<a href="javascript:void(0);" class="jb-job-apply-hide">Cancel</a>
</div>
</div>
<div class="jb-job-after-apply-wrapper">
</div>
</div>
</div>

    Got it – key was Plugins > Plugin File Editor, job > footer.php has code that basically says

    If $contact is email address, then “To apply, email details to $contact”, else “To apply, please visit $contact”

    where $contact is what’s entered into the Application contact field in a job’s Job Data section. What’s weird is on all the problem jobs, this was already set to an email address – but changing it to a url, save/preview, then back to an email seems to fix it.
