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.

1. Log in to your WordPress dashboard.
2. Navigate to Plugins > Add New.
3. In the search field, type “WP Job Manager” and press Enter.
4. Click Install Now on the plugin by Automattic.
5. Once installed, click Activate.

💻 Manual Installation

If you prefer installing plugins manually via FTP or file manager:

1. Download the plugin ZIP file from https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-job-manager/.
2. Unzip the file on your computer.
3. Upload the extracted folder to your WordPress directory: /wp-content/plugins/
4. 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:

1. Create a page called Jobs and insert the shortcode:
   [jobs]
   This will display your job listings.
2. Create a page called Submit Job and insert the shortcode:
   [submit_job_form]
   This adds the job submission form for front-end users.
3. 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.
