Q: Why isn’t the salary showing up?
Check these common issues:
- Verify both salary amount and currency are set in the job listing
- Ensure you’re editing a job listing template
- Check if you’re previewing with a valid job listing
- Verify the global currency setting in WP Job Manager if no job-specific currency is set
Q: The formatting looks wrong
This might happen because:
- The salary is entered in an unexpected format in the backend
- The thousands/decimal separators don’t match your locale
- The currency symbol might need different positioning for your locale
Q: Can I show salary ranges?
Yes, enter the range in the salary field as you want it displayed (e.g., “50000-60000”). Consider these formatting options:
- Raw Amount: Shows exactly what you entered
- With Currency: Adds the currency symbol
- Fully Formatted: Applies thousand separators to both numbers
Best Practices
- Use consistent salary formats across all job listings
- Always set a job-specific currency when dealing with multiple currencies
- Consider your locale when choosing separator formats
- Set a meaningful empty message for jobs without salary information
