Hi,
Take a look at https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-job-manager-locations/
Sorting by job_type isn’t supported because its a taxonomy. There is no simple, efficient way to sort posts by a term inside the post unfortunately. It would kill performance.
Ok. Is there a way to have (by default) certain job_type boxes selected?
For the filters you mean? Or during job submission?
Would I need to place the slug labels (i.e. slug1, slug2) for the default checkboxes that I need somewhere within this bit of code?
<ul class="job_types">
<?php foreach ( get_job_listing_types() as $type ) : ?>
<li><label for="job_type_<?php echo $type->slug; ?>" class="<?php echo sanitize_title( $type->name ); ?>"><input type="checkbox" name="filter_job_type[]" value="<?php echo $type->slug; ?>" <?php checked(1,1); ?> id="job_type_<?php echo $type->slug; ?>" /> <?php echo $type->name; ?></label></li>
<?php endforeach; ?>
</ul>
I’d swap:
<?php checked(1,1); ?>
And make that something like:
<?php checked( in_array( $type->slug, array( 'full-time', 'part-time' ) ) , true ); ?>
Tweak the array to your needs.
