Display job types from your job listings dynamically in Elementor templates. This tag works with WordPress’s built-in taxonomy system, specifically the ‘job_listing_type’ taxonomy that WP Job Manager registers but hides from standard Elementor taxonomy selections.
Usage
- Open the Elementor editor
- Add any text-based widget (Heading, Text Editor, etc.)
- Click the Dynamic Tags icon (database symbol)
- Select “Job Type” from the WP Job Manager group
- Choose whether job types should be displayed as links
Important Note for Developers
While ‘job_listing_type’ is a standard WordPress taxonomy, WP Job Manager intentionally hides it from Elementor’s standard taxonomy widgets and controls. This dynamic tag provides direct access to these job types, allowing you to display them in your templates without workarounds.
