1. After installation, go to “Job Board” menu in the admin panel, and add a new job listing.
2. Add multiple job features and a fully customized application form right from the job listing editor.

Job Board Templating

The job board templating feature allows you to change the following file templates. We are providing two UI layouts named as Classical and Modern.

1. For modifying classical layout templates, please refer to v1 directory.

2. For modifying modern layout templates, please refer to v2 directory.

3. To change a template, please add “simple_job_board” folder in your activated theme’s root directory.

4. Add your file from plugin simple-job-board >templates folder keeping the same file directory structure and do whatever you want. Please exclude “templates” while making the directory structure in your theme.

Enjoy your work with Simple Job Board templating.

1. Download plugin.
2. Upload simple-job-board.zip to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory to your web server.
3. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress.
4. Add a standard WordPress page or post and use the [jobpost] shortcode in the editor to make it a Job Board.

How to show job listings on the front-end?

To list all the job listings and start receiving applications, add [jobpost] shortcode in an existing page or add a new page and write shortcode anywhere in the page editor.

Job Page Expands Across Entire Page

It’s container class naming issue. We can’t set all websites container classes because every website has its own CSS and naming conventions.

So, we are giving the facility to Job Board’s users for adding container class or Id under Settings> Appearance tab. Please add your website container class in “Job Board Container Class:” under Job Board> Settings> Appearance tab.
