 * Since I updated WP, when I add a new field to the database the plugin no longer
   saves new new resumes. I had this working just fine in a previous version of 
   WP and RSJP. It doesn’t seem likely to me, but, is there anything in RSJP (2.5.3)
   or newer versions of WP (> WP 3.5) that might cause this?
 * FYI: When I updated WP to 3.8x and couldnt get [resumeForm] and [resumeDisplay]
   shortcodes to work, So I reinstalled RSJP snd got the application form to work,
   but not the list (no biggie). Unfortunately it meant I lost all the work I’d 
   done for adding new fields.

 * It’s too bad I can’t get a reply to my question. RSJP is exactly what I need 
   for a client site I have. Nobody else seems to have a plugin like it, it’s worth
   updating.

 * Sorry for the delay, busy schedule.
 * Just thinking off the top of my head, if you’ve added the columns in the database
   and corrected coded/queried them, it should work. I don’t know of anything from
   the WP 3.8 version that would stop from saving, especially if it saves without
   any mods.

 * Thx for the reply. Appreciated.
 * I didnt think 3.8 would be an issue either. Havent even gotten to modifying the
   code yet to add new fields. Just adding z new field to the table causes the prob
   to occur, which makes no sense cause there’s no code associated with the new 
   field.
 * I’ve disabled all plugins, but I am using an old theme. Maybe there’s a stray
   setting in the database causing the prob. Could be associated with why I can’t
   get the [resumeDisplay] shortcode to display. Gonna try a fresh install of just
   3.8, the theme and RSJP.

 * Na, no love.
    I’ve done a new install with just WP 3.8, the theme and RSJP. RSJP
   installs just fine. Everything works properly.
 * The problem occurs when I add a new field to the rsjp_submissions table. When
   I remove the new field, everything works fine again.
 * Any thots?
    (Something new in the WP Core when it calls the table? MyPhpAAdmin
   not updating a MySql value, so WP doesnt recognize it? Im stumped.)
 * Anyways, here’s the output from the “Submit Resume…” button:
    (aka… no thank 
   you message)
 * ‘<div id=”content” class=”site-content” role=”main”>
    <article id=”post-7″ class
   =”post-7 page type-page status-publish hentry”> <header class=”entry-header”>
   <div class=”entry-content”> <div id=”resumeSubmission”> </div> <span class=”edit-
   link”> </div> </article> </div>’

 * i also tried using the TwentyFourteen and TwentyTweleve themes as well.
 * I’ve also previously tryed modifying installer.php to create the rsjp_submissions
   table with all the new fields with no success.
