🚀 Getting Started with WP Job Manager in Jobify

After activating the plugin, you’ll want to create the core job board pages using shortcodes.

  1. Jobs Page:
    Create a new page titled Jobs and add the shortcode: [jobs]
    This page displays a list of all job listings.
  2. Submit Job Page:
    Create a new page titled Submit Job and add the shortcode: [submit_job_form]
    This allows logged-in users or guests (if enabled) to submit a job.
  3. Job Dashboard Page:
    Create a page titled Job Dashboard and add the shortcode: [job_dashboard]
    This page enables logged-in users to manage their submitted listings.

Note: If the shortcodes are rendering with strange formatting or spacing, click the Text tab in the WordPress editor and ensure there are no <pre> or <code> tags wrapped around them.


🔗 Theme Integration Tips

  • Jobify is designed to style WP Job Manager output natively — no extra design work is needed.
  • Make sure to install the Jobify Core plugin to unlock additional widgets and layout enhancements.
  • You can customize the layout of these pages using Elementor or the Customizer.
