 * Hi, thanks for the fantastic plugin – I followed the instructions for adding 
   custom fields – I’ve got them in the form but then once submitted they don’t 
   show up anywhere… could you help? I need a closing date and salary fields which
   I’ve got in the form but like I said, once submitted they don’t appear which 
   is why I needed the fields in the first place.

 * If you need them in admin (editable) you’ll need this hook: [https://github.com/mikejolley/WP-Job-Manager/blob/master/includes/admin/class-wp-job-manager-writepanels.php#L25](https://github.com/mikejolley/WP-Job-Manager/blob/master/includes/admin/class-wp-job-manager-writepanels.php#L25)
 * If you need them on the frontend someplace, you’ll need to edit or override the
   template files.
 * And if you need them in the admin list view, you can use standard WP admin hooks.

 * Hi, can you help?
    As per janandrews102675 post, I too have got the Salary Field
   displaying when creating a new job (from the dashboard) and can enter info. But
   it won’t display on the site’s Job Listing page or on the individual job page(
   where you see the description).
 * I have also followed your reply post about adding another hook, but this does
   not work either.
 * I’m putting everything, including the extra code in the themes function.php
 * Thanks

 * [@jasonssg](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jasonssg/) for the frontend pages(
   single job listing and job lists) you actually have to either hook into the display
   templates, override the templates. e.g. [https://github.com/mikejolley/WP-Job-Manager/blob/master/templates/content-single-job_listing.php](https://github.com/mikejolley/WP-Job-Manager/blob/master/templates/content-single-job_listing.php)
