 * The help page at [https://wpjobmanager.com/document/enabling-full-template-support/](https://wpjobmanager.com/document/enabling-full-template-support/)
   is pretty vague about how to do this. I am totally new to playing around with
   theme support.
 * I am assuming that “add_theme_support( ‘job-manager-templates’ );” would go in
   the theme’s or child theme’s functions.php? How is this called? WordPress page
   for adding theme support [https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/add_theme_support](https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/add_theme_support)
   mentions this code:
    function custom_theme_setup() { add_theme_support( ‘job-
   manager-templates’ ); } add_action( ‘after_setup_theme’, ‘custom_theme_setup’);
 * Is this what I have created above what I would need to do this? Would ‘after_setup_theme’
   be ‘init’ instead? Or do I not need any of the code and just “add_theme_support(‘
   job-manager-templates’ );”?
 * Also, how can I know that this has worked?
 * Thanks!

 * Do what the codex says, although if its in the theme functions.php file I don’t
   think you need to wrap it in a function/action.
 * This doc is vague mostly because its aimed at theme devs. Creating template files
   etc requires an understanding of theme development.
