@jpretorius54, Apologies for the late response on this. There’s nothing in the plugin code that has changed, so there’s no reason why it would change, except for another plugin, theme, or code snippet overriding the feed limit. You mentioned:

I made the change in the rss-jooble file…

Can you expand a bit on what it is you changed exactly?

Hey @pnem,

At the moment there’s no option for this kind of filtering within the plugin itself. Having said that, you may be able to use existing core hooks to modify the feed output. Note, I haven’t tested this code myself, but something like this in a snippets plugin, or in your child theme’s functions.php file should work for the category option you mentioned:

function limit_rss_feed_to_category($query) {
  if ($query->is_feed && $query->is_main_query()) {
    $query->set('post_type', 'job_listing');
    $query->set('tax_query', array(
        array (
            'taxonomy' => 'job_listing_category',
            'field' => 'slug',
            'terms' => 'my-category-slug',
        )
    ));
  }
  return $query;
}
add_filter('pre_get_posts', 'limit_rss_feed_to_category');

Don’t forget to change the my-category-slug to whatever your jooble specific category slug is – if you’ve set it as a job listing category. If you’ve added a custom field or custom taxonomy then you’ll need to adjust the query accordingly.

Let me know if that works or not. I can dig into it a bit deeper if needed, depending on how you implement the option to capture the consent to share on jooble.

Hi @flamuren

1. Yes, the plugin is still maintained and works perfectly with the latest WordPress and WP Job Manager versions.
2. It doesn’t interfere with any existing feeds on your site. The plugin creates a new feed specifically for meeting the Jooble requirements.
3. The plugin should not have any issues working alongside custom job fields, as long as the original fields created by WPJM aren’t modified. Having said that, the custom fields won’t be included in the RSS feed. Depending on the fields, they may not be needed/wanted by Jooble anyways. If this is not the case and you need additional fields in the feed please let me know. Also, the site language should not matter, this will be fine ??

If it helps, here’s an example of the feed:

Please let me know if you have any additional questions.

Hi Matt,

Apologies for the delayed response. Seems like notifications aren’t coming through for some reason.

In any case, it looks like the feed is working, so presumably you got it sorted.

If you’re still having issues though, please let me know.

Cheers!

Hello @physiotherapiestellen

It doesn’t look like the site is using WP Job Manager, a prerequisite for this plugin to work. It appears it using WP Job Board instead? If so, this plugin won’t work for you.

Kind regards,
Nick

Thanks. I’ve been playing with the margins and for the most part it’s doing the trick. There’s two downsides I’ve noticed. First, this has a cascading effect on the sections below it, and depending on how I change the content, the margins also need to be adjusted on each section below it. Again, mostly for the responsive views. Second, the Elementor “Responsive View” only covers three breakpoints, but the theme/templates seem to have more. So while your margins might be all set up and looking great in the editor, testing with the browser inspector in responsive view shows some whitespace appearing in some other breakpoints, I’ve specifically noticed between 770 and 800 pixels wide for example, and there’s no setting to fix that. I can fix that with some css though, but for regular users with no css experience it won’t be so easy. Perhaps the breakpoints are different than the default Elementor breakpoint settings in the editor?
Cheers!

I’ve reset the template and played around a bit with it. As the logo increases in size the white band at the top WILL eventually appear. The logo in the demo is very wide vs its height, so it works ok, but if I try to add my own square aspect ratio logo I can’t get the logo large enough (to my liking) before the whitespace appears. It then gets worse if you try to add the site title. Regardless of the alignment, the whitespace appears. For example, if I set the title size to 2rem and the default logo width at 64 pixels, the whitespace appears. Here’s some screenshots:

https://d.pr/i/LbdOe3
If I try to go with the sizing I want on the logo, the whitespace also appears on desktop.
Further, the site title simply doesn’t appear unless I change the z-index to a higher value, such as 99.
If you have a css fix I could use for now that would be great, at least until you get around for pushing a proper fix.
Thanks!

Hmm, well I can try it again and get some screenshots. Is there an easy way to reset the template? Or do I have to delete it and re-import?

Hi @ibiza69 , that’s a great suggestion! I’ll add it to the list for the next update.
Cheers!

Hey @ibiza69 ,

Apologies for the delayed response, looks like my notifications are no longer coming through. The plugin still works fine on the latest version of WordPress, so you shouldn’t experience any issues with it.

Having said that, I am almost complete with a major overhaul of the plugin to meet current coding standards. The feed output remains exactly the same, though I am adding a setting to allow you to control how many jobs appear in the feed. I’m hoping to get this released in the next week or two.

Cheers,
Nick

Yeah, this borked my site too. The Site Health page was blank, clicking on troubleshoot broke the site. I tried to delete the plugin from file manager, but that didn’t help.
Sorry, didn’t have time to investigate any errors, had to immediately restore a backup as the site is live and getting good traffic.

Hi @jpretorius54 ,
Thanks for posting the issue here. The feed does seem to be working ok when I load it. If the error was occurring while the feed was being generated, then the fatal error would cause the feed to not load the entire page. As it is now, I’m seeing the full feed, confirmed by the </rss> at the bottom of the page. And by the full feed, it is limited to only 100 items so it doesn’t cause memory issues. At the moment, the feed size is only about 1.7Mb, so not a lot.

Having said that, it’s possible the site is already using significant php memory and the plugin just pushes it over the edge. I noticed the errors you posted were two different files and line locations, so this could indicate this as a symptom.

You may want to check your site’s “PHP Memory Limit”, perhaps it needs to be bumped up a bit, especially with a 100 item rss feed. You can check the current limit in Tools > Site Health > Info > Server. Some hosts limit this pretty low, so you may need to bump it up. You’ll need to check with your host on how they prefer this limit to be changed.

Let me know how that works out. If you’re still having issues, please provide a list of all your plugins so I can see what else may be causing it or conflicting. You can copy the list from the same area in Site Health > Info > Active Plugins.

Thanks!

Hi @jpretorius54 ,
Can you post the issue here:

Also, please include your feed link so I can take a look at it.

Thanks!

Search for site:protocontent.com in google – your site is being indexed. How fast it indexes depends on Google, not your theme. Have you submitted your sitemap in Google Search Console?
Also, appearing in SERPs is the holy grail of organic traffic, it’s not easy, and depends on your content and domain authority. A site that’s 7 weeks old, with no backlinks, and no blog producing lots of content will barely show in SERP’s, if it all. Needless to say, it has nothing to do with Astra or any other theme.

Couldn’t find a pre-made solution, so wrote a plugin to create the Jooble feed. Hope it helps.
