Need to add a manual job id to each job

    I need, similar to the salary fix Mike gave us (worked a treat ;)), to have a Job ID field in the admin on each job that my client can use to add their own job ID into. They cant use the generated one as that does not match their business db. This also needs to be published next to the salary text in the listing title. I recycled the salary approach. I get the field in the admin but cant get it to publish on the page. ??

    I also need to know how i can publish the salary details on the summary list of jobs before location. At the moment the salary field info is only shown on the actual job page. My client is a recruitment agency and needs to present the salary on every referenced instance of that job.

    If anyone can help i would be grateful.

    You cannot change IDs – they are for WordPress internal use (same as post ids). You’d have to add a new custom field for this custom ‘ID’. The salary snippet can be extended for this new field – the code should be pretty much identical, just combine the functions because function names need to be unique.

    If you don’t want to use filters to output your fields, you can edit the template files instead. See https://wpjobmanager.com/document/template-overrides/

    Hi mike – i know about the ID’s. i need to add a faux id field if you like so that the candidate can see an ID to quote. I tried the salary snippet but no joy – does not print on the post page. I used unique names. Your advice would be most welcomed.

    Resolved by combining the function but with unqiue field names in place of salary for the new field.
