Title: Permalinks problem Last modified: August 22, 2016 --- # Permalinks problem * Resolved [leritz](https://wordpress.org/support/users/leritz/) * (@leritz) * [11 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/permalinks-problem-70/) * Hello everyone, * First of all, let me say how happy / out of despair I am that some great soul has been taking over updating the job manager plugin. I’ve been using it for 2 years and unfortunetaly for me, and perhaps all of us, none of the others extensions carry as many useful functionalities. It’s in production for me, so difficult for me to go anywhere anyway. * I’ve recently starting working on a new version of my website with a new theme and woocommerce. But to my great despair, the plugin works fine **without rewriting rules**. As soon as I turn them on (plain and simple /%postname%/ option) **job manager doesn’t find my job offer page**. I’ve tried getting back previous options from my production database… Nothing works. * Worse, it was working at some point (but can’t get back to that) but in the list mode, job offer links were sending to website/link instead of website/job-offers/ links (where [job-offers] is the name of the job page. Thus, I was getting a 404. * I don’t know why exactly this is happening and why the rewriting rules don’t instanciate correctly. Help would be immensely appreciated. And yes, much like my job manager friends, would happily donate 🙂 * NB : after some research, I found several threads with people having the same problem… None of them were resolved. - [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-job-manager-changing-job-permalink](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-job-manager-changing-job-permalink) [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problems-with-permalinks-10](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problems-with-permalinks-10) [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-job-manager-permalinks](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-job-manager-permalinks) [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/custom-permalinks-in-job-manager-1](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/custom-permalinks-in-job-manager-1) * Many thanks in advance. * [https://wordpress.org/plugins/job-manager/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/job-manager/) Viewing 4 replies - 1 through 4 (of 4 total) * Thread Starter [leritz](https://wordpress.org/support/users/leritz/) * (@leritz) * [11 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/permalinks-problem-70/#post-5310879) * Doubt it’s any help but I ended figuring out the origin of the problem though it’s unlikely I get around solving it : Woocommerce screws up the permalinks with job-manager. * After some research, I installed Rewrite Rules Inspector. I entered the main page I have a problem with (the one with the job list), “offres-d-emploi”. And it’s giving me this : * ``` Rule (.?.+?)(/[0-9]+)?/?$ Rewrite index.php?pagename=$matches[1]&page=$matches[2] Source page Rule offres-d-emploi/?(page/(\d+)/?)?$ Rewrite index.php?jobman_root_id=6678&page=$matches[2] Source other Rule ([^/]+)(/[0-9]+)?/?$ Rewrite index.php?name=$matches[1]&page=$matches[2] Source post ``` * I gather Woocommerce has its own set of writing rules and 2 of those are stepping on job-manager’s own rewriting rules. * Have no idea how to correct this. Would appreciate any help… * Thread Starter [leritz](https://wordpress.org/support/users/leritz/) * (@leritz) * [11 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/permalinks-problem-70/#post-5311043) * Hoping some charitable soul pushes this forward… I’m desperate.. !;-( * Perhaps, if there was a setting allowing to hardcode the pages id relating to job manager, it would not be screwed up by rewriting rules… * How about bypassing WordPress rewriting engine with something else…?
