[jobpost] shortcode lists all pages & posts?

    Just installed the WP Simple Job Board plug-in on a site.

    The admin side works OK – I’m able to create jobs, job types, categories, etc.

    The [jobpost] shortcode, however, is not working. It’s returning every page on the site, and none of the published job posts. This is very unexpected. I’ve uninstalled and reinstalled the plug-in twice, and the issue persists.

    Honestly, I don’t know what to do next for troubleshooting. Can you help?

    Hello @christopherhawkins,

    Sorry for the inconvenience.

    It might be possible that your website plugins are conflicting with SJB. Kindly deactivate your website all plugins expect SJB, switch your theme to any WP Twenty theme and then see this issue.

    Let us know if the problem still persists.

    I think we’ve narrowed it down to the theme the client is using (a customized version of the Rebound theme).

    All plugins deactivated + custom theme: SJB malfunctions
    All plugins deactivated + 2015 theme: SJB function
    All plugins activated + 2015 theme: SJB functions
    All plugins activated + custom theme: SJB malfunctions again

    So, it looks like we’re conflicting with something in the theme.

    Looking inside both functions.php and theme_functions.php, I see no mention of a “jobpost” shortcode anywhere, so I don’t think there’s an issue of the theme *intentionally* trying to hijack that shortcode, even though it appears to be doing so anyway.

    I’m not sure where to take the troubleshooting at this point.

    Hello @christopherhawkins,

    All plugins deactivated + custom theme: SJB malfunctions

    On above mentioned results, it can be concluded that your theme is conflicting with SJB. It is having a code snippet that is alerting the jobs’ query result but nothing to do with shortcode.

    Sometimes, we use WP hooks but don’t restrict them to be only executed for that particular post/page/custom post type. So, that kind of hooks are the major cause of conflict. Kindy, double check your theme’s functions.php or any other file that is responsible for theme’s custom functionality.

    Thank you for writing to us. Let us know if we can help you further.
