    We have started a job site for tech jobs in GCC region. However, we find it difficult to create location-based pages like the following

    gulftechjobs.com/dubai – should list all the open jobs in Dubai
    gulftechjobs.com/dubai/data-scientist – should list data scientist jobs in Dubai.

    Total noob here. Can someone help please.Thank you

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

    Hi @gulftechjobs –

    You can accomplish something similar by using URL parameters:

    https://wpjobmanager.com/document/preselect-filters-on-jobs-page-using-url-query-strings/

    Alternatively, you would need to create a page for each location and category and customize the parameters used in the [jobs] shortcode as explained here:

    Thanks a lot. We followed the second method and created different types of pages.

    One small issue.

    For displaying full stack developers in Dubai, we use the following shortcode.

    [jobs categories=”Dubai” keywords=’full stack’]

    This results in listing jobs which has jobs with any of these words full stack in Job description. Is it possible to do keyword search only on the title of the job.

    Unfortunately, it isn’t possible to limit the keyword search to only the title. You might consider using a “full stack” category as an alternative and applying that to the relevant jobs.

    Thanks again. I tried adding category as Full stack and run this shortcode.

    [jobs categories=”Dubai,Full-Stack”]

    But it returns results with jobs as Dubai or Full Stack. Actually, I want to display only Full stack jobs in Dubai. (Dubai AND Full Stack)

    Can you kindly guide.

    On a test site, I was able to do this if I went with:

    [jobs category="Final Category" location="Paris"]

    This pulled jobs I placed in “Final Category” with the location of “Paris”. It excluded others not meeting that category and location combination.

    Best,
