How to search custom field?

Can you explain what you are trying to do? Have a search on the [jobs] shortcode?

I have add new field:

function frontend_add_sex_field( $fields ) {
  $fields['job']['f_sex'] = array(
    'label' => __( 'Sex', 'job_manager' ),
    'type' => 'select',
    'required' => false,
    'options' => array( 'none'	=> 'Don't care',
			'male' 	=> 'Male',
			'female'=> 'Female',),
    'priority' => 15
  );
}
add_filter( 'submit_job_form_fields', 'frontend_add_sex_field' );

I use the [jobs] shortcode in page: https://localhost/job/search/

Search form:

<form method="GET" action="/job/search/">
<p>
<label for="keywords">Keywords</label>
<input type="text" id="search_keywords" name="search_keywords" />
</p>
<p>
<label for="keywords">Location</label>
<input type="text" id="search_location" name="search_location" />
</p>
<p>
<label for="keywords">Sex</label>
<input type="text" id="search_sex" name="search_sex" />
</p>
<p>
<input type="submit" value="Search" />
</p>
</form>

How it work?

It won’t work on its own because the code doesn’t know to look for ‘search_sex’.

You’d need two extra functions hooked in.

One here to get the value of search_sex and pass it through to get_job_listings https://github.com/mikejolley/WP-Job-Manager/blob/master/includes/class-wp-job-manager-ajax.php#L53

And another here to manipulate the query https://github.com/mikejolley/WP-Job-Manager/blob/master/wp-job-manager-functions.php#L134

Thank you so much!

hello. would this work with a drop down as well?

I’m trying to make astoundify’s job regions to work this way but it doesn’t.

So maybe an approach like this one would be great.
