It seems that some modification were made to this plugin. Remove & reinstall
this plugin to get it back to original state.

* I tried your suggestion and deactivated and deleted the plugin. I reinstalled
the plugin via the Plugins->Add New, and the problem continues to exist.
* I should point out that I’m using custom single-aol_ad.php and archive-aol_ad.
php templates.
* Changing this:
* ```
//Show this content if you are viewing aol_ad post type using single.php (not with single-aold_ad.php)
if(is_singular() and 'single-aol_ad.php' != wp_basename($template)):
$new_content = ''.$content.$title_features.$features.$title_form.$form.'
';
endif;
return apply_filters( 'aol_content', $content, $features, $form );
```
* To This:
* ```
//Show this content if you are viewing aol_ad post type using single.php (not with single-aold_ad.php)
if(is_singular() and 'single-aol_ad.php' != wp_basename($template)):
$new_content = ''.$content.$title_features.$features.$title_form.$form.'
';
return apply_filters( 'aol_content', $new_content, $content, $features, $form );
endif;
return apply_filters( 'aol_content', $content, $features, $form );
```
* At the bottom of class-applyonline-public.php fixed my issue as `$new_content`
is undefined for me due to the `wp_basename($template)` condition.

* instead of all this, you should use function **echo aol_form();** within wordpress
loop on your sing-aol_ad.php. Also look at documenation here [http://wpreloaded.com/plugins/apply-online/reference/](http://wpreloaded.com/plugins/apply-online/reference/)

* I am already using echo aol_features() and echo aol_form() in my single-aol_ad.
php, that’s not the problem. I already read the documentation 🙂
* The code I posted previously is an issue with the if statement in your plugin
code, not my single-aol_ad.php.
* If you inspect the code at line 287 in apply-online/public/class-applyonline-
public.php you’ll see the if statement above this line is where $new_content
is defined, only if the template is not single-aol_ad.php.
* Then the apply_filter call outside the if enclosure is attempting to use the
variable while the conditions were not met, therefore it is undefined when a
single-aol_ad.php template is used.
* All you need to do is replace the code at the bottom of apply-online/public/class-
applyonline-public.php with the fix I provided above. If you look at line 287
and the if statement above the line, you’ll see what I mean.
* Thanks.

* Ok, I got it. The best solution is to initiate $new_content before the if condition
i.e. $new_content = NULL;
* Thank you for reporting this bug. I appreciate your effort to reach the solution.
It will be fixed in next plugin update.
