Title: compatible with other custom fields plugins Last modified: August 22, 2016 --- # compatible with other custom fields plugins * Resolved [spyder23](https://wordpress.org/support/users/spyder23/) * (@spyder23) * [11 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/compatible-with-other-custom-fields-plugins/) * Hi Mike, * I’ve created several company fields and job fields successfully (using wp job manager field editor plugin), but what I want to do is have a separate page for updating additional info on the individual job listing. Can I use a different plugin (i.e. wp-types, ACF, ninja forms) to create these fields/forms and then display the results of them on individual job postings? * [https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-job-manager/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-job-manager/) Viewing 14 replies - 1 through 14 (of 14 total) * Plugin Author [Mike Jolley](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mikejolley/) * (@mikejolley) * [11 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/compatible-with-other-custom-fields-plugins/#post-5918230) * I cannot really advise on how you’d set that up – it would really be down to whether you need the fields on the front or backend, and whether or not those plugins support updating existing posts. It’s not something I have attempted personally. * Thread Starter [spyder23](https://wordpress.org/support/users/spyder23/) * (@spyder23) * [11 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/compatible-with-other-custom-fields-plugins/#post-5918238) * Thanks for you reply. Is there any way to split the company/job fields on the job-submit page into multiple pages, or maybe use accordions on that page? I’m just looking for a way to break up a really long page of custom fields a user has to fill in. * Plugin Author [Mike Jolley](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mikejolley/) * (@mikejolley) * [11 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/compatible-with-other-custom-fields-plugins/#post-5918240) * It is possible to customise the steps, but this is quite advanced [https://github.com/mikejolley/WP-Job-Manager/blob/master/includes/forms/class-wp-job-manager-form-submit-job.php#L20](https://github.com/mikejolley/WP-Job-Manager/blob/master/includes/forms/class-wp-job-manager-form-submit-job.php#L20) I use this filter for adding payment steps for example. * Thread Starter [spyder23](https://wordpress.org/support/users/spyder23/) * (@spyder23) * [11 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/compatible-with-other-custom-fields-plugins/#post-5918249) * Yeah, seems a little complicated, but seems like a great feature to add to my submit-job page one day. Last question related to this (hopefully): with keeping all the fields on a single page on the job-submit form, is there a way to display some of the fields in a table, so the user can fill out part of the form similar to filling out a spreadsheet? * Plugin Author [Mike Jolley](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mikejolley/) * (@mikejolley) * [11 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/compatible-with-other-custom-fields-plugins/#post-5918288) * You could edit the template files to do this if you wanted: [https://wpjobmanager.com/document/template-overrides/](https://wpjobmanager.com/document/template-overrides/) * Or just tweak the CSS styling. * Thread Starter [spyder23](https://wordpress.org/support/users/spyder23/) * (@spyder23) * [11 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/compatible-with-other-custom-fields-plugins/#post-5918297) * Thanks again. Can you provide any tips on how I would go about styling this via CSS, just to get me started? * Also, are you available for paid customization requests, or is there a different developer you would recommend for customizations? * Plugin Author [Mike Jolley](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mikejolley/) * (@mikejolley) * [11 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/compatible-with-other-custom-fields-plugins/#post-5918477) * Hmm without knowing what you want to change, not really. I was assuming you’d change the padding/margins/borders to make it more tabular. * I don’t do freelance, but you could try jobs.wordpress.net * Thread Starter [spyder23](https://wordpress.org/support/users/spyder23/) * (@spyder23) * [11 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/compatible-with-other-custom-fields-plugins/#post-5918485) * For the table view, I was thinking of displaying all the “job fields” in a table, and the company fields displayed in a list (already your default display). * i.e. the table displaying the custom fields on the front end would look something like: ___________________________________________________ | Job fields | ___________________________________________________ |job title | job_location | job_category | job_etc | ____________________________________________________ * Plugin Author [Mike Jolley](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mikejolley/) * (@mikejolley) * [11 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/compatible-with-other-custom-fields-plugins/#post-5918488) * Wouldn’t that make the columns really really narrow and hard to use? * Thread Starter [spyder23](https://wordpress.org/support/users/spyder23/) * (@spyder23) * [11 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/compatible-with-other-custom-fields-plugins/#post-5918489) * I think it would look fine on a desktop computer having 4-5 fields on a single line in the submit-jobs form, but on mobile it would just have to display as a long list. Do you have a different suggestion than organizing the job fields in a table? I’m totally open to ideas 🙂 * Plugin Author [Mike Jolley](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mikejolley/) * (@mikejolley) * [11 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/compatible-with-other-custom-fields-plugins/#post-5918490) * Not really 🙂 I prefer the list for usability. But yeah, start in the file: [https://github.com/mikejolley/WP-Job-Manager/blob/master/templates/job-submit.php#L22](https://github.com/mikejolley/WP-Job-Manager/blob/master/templates/job-submit.php#L22) if you want to use a real table. * Thread Starter [spyder23](https://wordpress.org/support/users/spyder23/) * (@spyder23) * [11 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/compatible-with-other-custom-fields-plugins/#post-5918493) * Sounds good, I’ll mess around with that file. Is there any way to have these changes in my child theme, so I don’t have to edit this file each time you update your plugin? * Plugin Author [Mike Jolley](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mikejolley/) * (@mikejolley) * [11 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/compatible-with-other-custom-fields-plugins/#post-5918500) * [https://wpjobmanager.com/document/template-overrides/](https://wpjobmanager.com/document/template-overrides/) * Thread Starter [spyder23](https://wordpress.org/support/users/spyder23/) * (@spyder23) * [11 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/compatible-with-other-custom-fields-plugins/#post-5918501) * Thanks Mike.
