@lauraucott Did you ever get a solution to your problem, I have the same issue but cant find an answer
here is my link http://finestofrwanda.com/jobs-2/adminstration/
Hi @victordiema No, i didn’t find a solution. I decided to use a workaround. I deleted the Job Manager Apply page link. Then I created a new “Apply” page with a contact form and inserted an A link to the new Apply page.
It’s not perfect but at least you job seekers will have a way to apply to your jobs.
Hi @Lauraucott,I am trying my level best to see that i can make it work.Do you mind if I can have a look at your website and see how you created the apply link. I had to disable it temporarily
My site is still under construction but here’s the link for what it’s worth – http://www.stafflink.ca/new
Here’s the code from my WP-admin dashboard > Job Manager > Display Settings > Individual Job Template text box:
<table class="job-table[if_job_highlighted] highlighted[/if_job_highlighted]">
<tr>
<th scope="row">Title</th>
<td>[job_icon] [job_title]</td>
</tr>
[if_job_categories]
<tr>
<th scope="row">Categories</th>
<td>[job_category_links]</td>
</tr>
[/if_job_categories]
[job_field_loop]
[if_job_field]
<tr>
<th scope="row">[job_field_label]</th>
<td>[job_field]</td>
</tr>
[/if_job_field]
[/job_field_loop]
<tr>
<td></td>
<strong><td class="jobs-applynow"><a href="http://www.stafflink.ca/new/jobs-3/apply">Apply Now</a>[/job_apply_link]</td> </strong>
</tr>
</table>
I only changed one line. Here’s the last section of the code before I changed it:
<tr>
<td></td>
<td class="jobs-applynow">[job_apply_link]Apply Now[/job_apply_link]</td>
</tr>
Here’s the last section of the code after I changed it:
<tr>
<td></td>
<td class="jobs-applynow"><a href="http://www.stafflink.ca/new/jobs-3/apply">Apply Now</a>[/job_apply_link]</td>
</tr>
I just removed the <job_apply_link> from the original code and replaced it with the actual link to the apply page. I don’t know why the “job_apply_link” is broken.
Now the “Apply Page” opens. I still have to fix the set up of the Apply page, but at least it’s not a 404 page anymore.
Hope this helps!
Thank you so much for the assistance. I will let you know if it works out for me tonight.
You have a very professional looking website and is there a way one can connect with your website via facebook or linkedin? It would be great to add some connect buttons too.
You’re right. I need to put some social media connect buttons on our site. I will definitely do that.
I am very impressed with your Finest of Rwanda site. Hope you get that 404 message worked out.
– Deactivate Job Manager
– Run the following queries in your WordPress database:
DELETE FROM wp_options WHERE option_name=’jobman_options’;
DELETE FROM wp_posts WHERE post_type LIKE ‘jobman%’;
– Activate Job Manager
you should now be able to get this type of url :
…/jobs/apply/22343
instead of jobs/apply-2/22343
