# [Plugin: Job Manager] Missing Apply Page – 404 error

 * Hi, I broke my “Apply” link somehow and I’m not sure how to fix it. I may have
   accidentally deleted the “Apply” page. When I click the “Apply” link at the bottom
   of a job description it returns a 404 page.
 * How I can get the “Apply” form working again? I tried creating an Apply page 
   but it doesn’t work.

 * 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](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
