FAQ on WPJM job type dynamic tag

Troubleshooting FAQ

Q: Why can’t I see job types in standard Elementor widgets?

This is by design:

• WP Job Manager hides this taxonomy from standard Elementor controls
• Use this dynamic tag specifically designed for job types
• The taxonomy exists but needs special handling

Q: Types aren’t showing up

Check these common issues:

• Verify job types are assigned to the job listing
• Ensure you’re editing a job listing template
• Check if you’re previewing with a valid job listing

Q: Can I customize the job type output text?

Currently, direct text customization is not available in the tag settings. However, you have two options:

• Using Translations:
  1. Install a translation plugin (e.g., Loco Translate – free)
  2. Load one of the 9 available language packs
  3. Search for the job type strings you want to modify
  4. Create your custom translations
• Using CSS:
  • Style the output using CSS classes
  • Hide/show elements based on your needs

Note: Text customization directly in the tag settings is planned for future updates.

Best Practices

• Use consistent job type naming across listings
• Consider whether types should be clickable
• Keep your job type list manageable
• Use types for meaningful employment classification
