 * Is there a way to extend the character limit for questions? We love tool and 
   would like to use it for an easy-to-use job application. However, our questions
   are a bit too lengthy.

 * well, 255 character limit is imposed by the database. Though you can increase
   meta_key limit in your wp_postmeta database table but we are working on a better
   solution for it in next plugin update. So you will go almost limitless for questions.
 * Thank you!

 * I completely understand. Do you know if a way to add text between questions to
   bypass the need for writing longer questions?
 * Thanks for your help.

 * If you are a php developer you can do it easily. function `aol_form_fields($post_id);`
   returns associative array of application form fields. Each application form field’s
   KEY, TYPE and OPTIONS are returned. So, you just need to modify KEY in your case.
 * You can use this function on single-aol_ad.php template file to get form data&
   then modify it according to your need.
 * You can find more functions & hooks in this document. [http://wpreloaded.com/plugins/apply-online/reference](http://wpreloaded.com/plugins/apply-online/reference)
