WPMJ – submit button after navigating from single job listing

Could you elaborate further on the use case for your site? Could you provide an example on how this issue can be replicated?

Hi @dericleeyy , absolutely. I created a local-hoste website from scratch to ensure it is not conflicting with other customization while replicating. Sorry if I use incorrect terminology or overlook something.

When I visit the output of the [jobs] shortcode, clicking the search submit button triggers the following events on each click:

1. A request to /jm-ajax/get_listings/ is fired.
2. This also triggers a request to /wp-content/plugins/wp-job-manager/assets/dist/images/ajax-loader.ea183bf2.gif.
3. All job listings are re-populated.

These events occur under the following scenarios:

• Clicking the search submit button.
• Reloading the page.
• Navigating away and returning to the page.
• Using any of the filters.

The Issue:

However, when I navigate in this specific way:
1. [jobs] (https://getlistingsdebug.local/jobs/) → 2. A single job listing (https://getlistingsdebug.local/job/test-test-2-test/) → 3. [jobs] (https://getlistingsdebug.local/jobs/) including navigating through any other pages in between 2. and 3. steps:

The events described above do not fire as they normally would when reloading the page or arriving from any other page. Specifically:

1. The search submit button does not trigger the events and does nothing.
2. The events only begin firing after a filter is changed or the page is reloaded, or I navigate back and forth one more time using browser navigation.
3. Once the events are triggered (e.g., by changing a filter), the search submit button starts working as expected again.

Thanks!

@klnfln So far, I have not been able to replicate the behavior you describe. In my tests, which follow the steps you shared, I am able to search as expected.

Can you clarify step 2, however? Are you pressing the “Back” button on your browser to return to https://getlistingsdebug.local/jobs/? Or are you clicking the “Jobs” link in your menu again? Please feel free to share more details to help us replicate the issue.

@dcka Hi

I recorded a video of replicatingi the issue. In case you are unable to preview it embedded here, I am sharing the link as well: https://vimeo.com/1046343097/a6c2782446?ts=0&share=copy

To specify further, once I use job filters the submit button works again, it does not re-populate jobs without it however.

Hi @klnfln,

Thanks for sharing that video recording. I see what you mean, and I was able to reproduce the issue on my end.

Would you confirm if you’re using any WP Job Manager Core Add-ons by chance? We’ve had a report like this from users on Job Tags add-ons, so I wanted to double check.

hey @bluejay77

I am not using any WP Job Manager add-ons at all, I am planning to upgrade later, but this issue persist without any other add-ons and also on a test page without any other plugins or other type of customization installed.

As of now I use a workaround of simply opening single job listings in a new tab.

Hi @klnfln,

Thanks for confirming. I have reported this issue to our development team. We don’t have an ETA on the fix, but please be assured that it’s on our team’s radar. Thanks!
