    Hi I am wondering how to get the featured checkbox that is in the backend on the front end Job Posting page.

    I would have assumed it would be on there by default as it’s on the backend.

    Thanks

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    Hi there,

    I’m afraid; currently, it is not possible to show the featured checkbox on the front end of the Job Posting page, and it can only be accessed from the WP Admin area.

    Hi can you point me in the direction of where to go to modify the form it builds. It’s just a checkbox so can’t be complicated.

    Thanks

    Hi @gatestar ,

    The featured checkbox found in the Job Edit page is part of the admin backend.

    The job submission form itself is this file:

    ../templates/job-submit.php

    You can read more about template overrides here:

    https://wpjobmanager.com/document/template-overrides/

    That said, there is no easy way to get the featured checkbox into your front-end job submission form.

    In addition, the file the backend checkbox is in is NOT templateable like the front-end form is. That means it’s a core file, and any changes made there are both not recommended and will be overwritten during any plugin updates.

    Sure, you can create a checkbox on the frontend form easily, but it won’t be hooked into the ‘featured’ code in WPJM’s backend without custom code, and custom code is outside of our scope of support.

    Sorry I don’t have better news!

    Best,

    Ok let me have a look and see if I can sort it.

    If I want to request as a feature where do I do that?
