Title: Applications plugin or Apply with Gravity Forms? Last modified: August 22, 2016 --- # Applications plugin or Apply with Gravity Forms? * Resolved [murrayben](https://wordpress.org/support/users/murrayben/) * (@murrayben) * [11 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/applications-plugin-or-apply-with-gravity-forms/) * I am currently using Apply with Gravity Forms. However, I was reading about the Applications plugin which might be better. Are these mutually exclusive? If I have one, do I need the other? * It was a bit tricky for me to get Gravity Forms set up correctly with the correct notifications, but I like the functionality of the Applications plugin that allows employers to see a list of applications in their dashboard, etc. * [https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-job-manager/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-job-manager/) Viewing 9 replies - 1 through 9 (of 9 total) * Plugin Author [Mike Jolley](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mikejolley/) * (@mikejolley) * [11 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/applications-plugin-or-apply-with-gravity-forms/#post-5169013) * Applications doesn’t work with Gravity Form apply. Applications has its own form built in – so you can deactivate the gravity one if you use it. * Thread Starter [murrayben](https://wordpress.org/support/users/murrayben/) * (@murrayben) * [11 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/applications-plugin-or-apply-with-gravity-forms/#post-5169046) * Thanks for the prompt response. I’ll try it. * Thread Starter [murrayben](https://wordpress.org/support/users/murrayben/) * (@murrayben) * [11 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/applications-plugin-or-apply-with-gravity-forms/#post-5169187) * I activated the Applications plugin and deactivated the Apply with Gravity Forms plugin. However, it seems that the email being sent to the recruiter is being marked as spam (by yahoo at least). See Yahoo’s error message below. I am using PHPmail add-in so not sure if I have a setting wrong there, but everything was being sent fine before using gravity forms. When I put my domain email (info@ hiredubuque.com) as the candidate’s email address, the email goes through fine. Any suggestions? Anyone else have this issue? * Also, when I log in as the recruiter and view the applications, I am getting Chinese characters on the right side where, for example, you click on the resume link. * [Return Code 554] sid: cJYL1o0033xix9601 :: 5.7.9 Message not accepted for policy reasons.

And tried clearing cache? “chinese” characters is just an outdated icon font, which I’m sure they patched already. If you switch to twenty twelve theme you’ll see the icons work as intended without jobify. * Thread Starter [murrayben](https://wordpress.org/support/users/murrayben/) * (@murrayben) * [11 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/applications-plugin-or-apply-with-gravity-forms/#post-5169230) * Clearing the cache fixed the “chinese” characters.
