 * Hello!
 * I am new, so bear with my probably obvious mistakes.
    I have a child theme installed,
   and I am trying to override wpjobmanager-resume-manager fields using this guide:
 * [https://wpjobmanager.com/document/resume-manager-editing-submission-fields/](https://wpjobmanager.com/document/resume-manager-editing-submission-fields/)
 * Adding the code snippets to the functions.php doesn’t change anything at all.
   Have I misunderstood something? Is there a need to override the wpjobmanager 
   functions.php instead of the top-level theme’s functions.php, or do I miss some
   refference code?

 * Hey devone15,
 * I recommend asking at [https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/wp-job-manager/](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/wp-job-manager/)
   so the plugin’s developers and support community can help you with this.
