• Hi, I broke my “Apply” link somehow and I’m not sure how to fix it. I may have accidentally deleted the “Apply” page. When I click the “Apply” link at the bottom of a job description it returns a 404 page.

    How I can get the “Apply” form working again? I tried creating an Apply page but it doesn’t work.

    Hi @victordiema No, i didn’t find a solution. I decided to use a workaround. I deleted the Job Manager Apply page link. Then I created a new “Apply” page with a contact form and inserted an A link to the new Apply page.

    It’s not perfect but at least you job seekers will have a way to apply to your jobs.

    Hi @Lauraucott,I am trying my level best to see that i can make it work.Do you mind if I can have a look at your website and see how you created the apply link. I had to disable it temporarily

    My site is still under construction but here’s the link for what it’s worth – http://www.stafflink.ca/new

    Here’s the code from my WP-admin dashboard > Job Manager > Display Settings > Individual Job Template text box:

    <table class="job-table[if_job_highlighted] highlighted[/if_job_highlighted]">
      <tr>
        <th scope="row">Title</th>
        <td>[job_icon] [job_title]</td>
      </tr>
    [if_job_categories]
      <tr>
         <th scope="row">Categories</th>
         <td>[job_category_links]</td>
      </tr>
    [/if_job_categories]
    [job_field_loop]
      [if_job_field]
      <tr>
        <th scope="row">[job_field_label]</th>
        <td>[job_field]</td>
      </tr>
      [/if_job_field]
    [/job_field_loop]
      <tr>
        <td></td>
        <strong><td class="jobs-applynow"><a href="http://www.stafflink.ca/new/jobs-3/apply">Apply Now</a>[/job_apply_link]</td> </strong>
      </tr>
    </table>

    I only changed one line. Here’s the last section of the code before I changed it:

    <tr>
        <td></td>
        <td class="jobs-applynow">[job_apply_link]Apply Now[/job_apply_link]</td>
      </tr>

    Here’s the last section of the code after I changed it:

    <tr>
        <td></td>
        <td class="jobs-applynow"><a href="http://www.stafflink.ca/new/jobs-3/apply">Apply Now</a>[/job_apply_link]</td>
      </tr>

    I just removed the <job_apply_link> from the original code and replaced it with the actual link to the apply page. I don’t know why the “job_apply_link” is broken.

    Now the “Apply Page” opens. I still have to fix the set up of the Apply page, but at least it’s not a 404 page anymore.

    Hope this helps!

    Thank you so much for the assistance. I will let you know if it works out for me tonight.
    You have a very professional looking website and is there a way one can connect with your website via facebook or linkedin? It would be great to add some connect buttons too.

    You’re right. I need to put some social media connect buttons on our site. I will definitely do that.

    I am very impressed with your Finest of Rwanda site. Hope you get that 404 message worked out.

    – Deactivate Job Manager

    – Run the following queries in your WordPress database:

    DELETE FROM wp_options WHERE option_name=’jobman_options’;
    DELETE FROM wp_posts WHERE post_type LIKE ‘jobman%’;

    – Activate Job Manager

    you should now be able to get this type of url :

    …/jobs/apply/22343

    instead of jobs/apply-2/22343
