How to Create Additional Categories?

Hi,

So it sounds like you’re asking for two different things, right?

If I want to create additional category (e.g: “Country”) while adding jobs via the backend

You mean, you want to create a new category at the same time as you are creating a new job listing in WP-Admin? You can do that by clicking the “Add New Job Category” link in the Job Categories section on the Job listing edit page in WP-Admin. Am I misunderstanding the question?

would like to display Country/location wise jobs in Sidebar widget

Which widget, exactly?

Yes, you have got it right. Please check the screenshots links, I have created a demo image of how it can look, hope you will get it.

Thanks for those screenshots! It made clear that I didn’t understand what you were talking about. To achieve this, you’d need to add some custom code to add a new taxonomy to the job listings. I found this for you:

Here’s a tutorial on adding a custom taxonomy with Pods:
https://plugins.smyl.es/docs-kb/how-to-createadd-a-custom-taxonomy-to-use-with-checklist-dropdown-or-multiselect/

It has specifics to the Field Editor addon, but is not required, you could add the field using the code snippets from wpjobmanager.com for adding a custom field, and just follow this tutorial for how to add a custom taxonomy and associate it with Job Listings

Thanks both of you @richardmtl and @tripflex.

Btw @tripflex, the user with role “Employer” is unable to assign (check the box) the “Country” from backend https://i.ibb.co/s5RBLQL/Country.png is there any way to help the “Employer” to select the Country?

@arnieck sounds like a permission issue for that user role type, check this URL:

You probably need to add permissions for the employer user role to set those terms
