Note: WP Job Manager is a required plugin for the Listify theme to function correctly. The following installation steps are adapted from the
official WP Job Manager documentation.
🔧 Automatic Installation
This is the recommended method, as WordPress handles everything within your admin panel.
- Log in to your WordPress dashboard.
- Navigate to Plugins > Add New.
- In the search field, type “WP Job Manager” and press Enter.
- Click Install Now on the plugin by Automattic.
- Once installed, click Activate.
💻 Manual Installation
If you prefer installing plugins manually via FTP or file manager:
- Download the plugin ZIP file from https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-job-manager/.
- Unzip the file on your computer.
- Upload the extracted folder to your WordPress directory:
/wp-content/plugins/
- Go to your WordPress dashboard and activate the plugin via Plugins > Installed Plugins.
🚀 Getting Started with WP Job Manager + Listify
Once WP Job Manager is installed and activated, follow these steps to set up your core job-related pages:
- Create a page called
Jobs
and insert the shortcode:
[jobs]
This will display your job listings. - Create a page called
Submit Job
and insert the shortcode:
[submit_job_form]
This adds the job submission form for front-end users. - Create a page called
Job Dashboard
and insert the shortcode:
[job_dashboard]
This allows logged-in users to manage their job listings.
Important: When using shortcodes, always ensure you’re in the Text editor tab (not Visual) to prevent extra HTML tags like <pre>
or <code>
from affecting layout or styling.
