 * Hi [@nstratadmin](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nstratadmin/),
 * Have you done any initial troubleshooting yet? If not, please rule out a theme
   issue or a plugin conflict. I recommend testing things on a staging site rather
   than on your production (live) site. Many hosts provide a staging service, where
   you can do testing without affecting the live site. You can ask your host about
   this. If they don’t give you a staging site, you could try WP Staging or Duplicator:
 * [https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-staging/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-staging/)
   
   [https://wordpress.org/plugins/duplicator/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/duplicator/)
 * First, temporarily switch to Twenty Seventeen, which is one of the default WordPress
   themes. You can do this by installing a plugin that only switches the theme for
   the current user, linked below:
 * [https://wordpress.org/plugins/theme-switcha/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/theme-switcha/)
 * See if the Apply for Job button works. If it does while you’re using the default
   theme, you’ll need to contact your theme’s developer to see if they can help 
   you troubleshoot.
 * If things still don’t work properly with Twenty Seventeen, please try checking
   for conflicting plugins.
 * To do so, temporarily disable all plugins but WP Job Manager (and related addons),
   and see if the issue resolves. If it does, try activating your plugins one-by-
   one and try to reproduce the problem. If it comes back when you activate a particular
   plugin, you’ve found the culprit.
 * Just a side-note; before you deactivate your plugins, we recommend that you make
   a full backup of your site.
 * Let us know what you find!
