# Application Form Not Appearing

 * Version 3.0
 * The application form is not firing on the single job post template with my custom
   theme. I have written my own single job post template and everything appears 
   fine with the_content(); except the form. What triggers the form part that should
   be included here in my template?
 * I tested with Twenty Nineteen and the form appears fine (except for an unknown
   conflict when Yoast SEO enabled).

 * Hi there and sorry for the delay as I have been on annual leave.
 * The application form is rendered on `the_content()` using `the_content` filter
   in WordPress. You can see this here:
 * [https://github.com/highrisedigital/wpbroadbean/blob/master/inc/applications/application-form.php#L110](https://github.com/highrisedigital/wpbroadbean/blob/master/inc/applications/application-form.php#L110)
 * Therefore if your theme is outputting the content then it should work. The only
   thing I can think is that your theme is removing `the_content` filters somehow?
 * Which theme are you using?

 * Hi Mark
 * We are currently using ‘The7’, I did a search through the theme files but nothing
   is jumping out at me as to affect this. I will separately submit a support request
   to the theme developer.
 * Thanks,
    Colin.

 * Hi Mark
 * I have been speaking with the theme developer and;
 * Short answer: Putting some content in the excerpt field gets the form visible
   on the page
 * Detailed answer: [https://github.com/highrisedigital/wpbroadbean/blob/master/inc/functions.php#L416](https://github.com/highrisedigital/wpbroadbean/blob/master/inc/functions.php#L416)
   the plugins is using include_once to render the form
 * The theme uses get_excepts function to generate open graph descriptions, this
   function calls the_content filter, so the view already called once and return
   empty results when page content generated, as workaround, I can fill in the excerpts
   so the the_content will be called only once.
 * As the jobs are filled dynamically through the feed, I am not sure how to circumvent
   this.

 * I am not entirely sure that I need to use `include_once` there. I think it could
   be `include` which should fix the issue you have.
 * Therefore is there anyway you can change that code on your site so that I can
   test it please?

 * Excellent. This fix is now included in version 3.0.1 and therefore if you update
   to that it should also correct the issue.
