 * We’re getting duplicate descriptions in our job postings. The description that
   is added to the main content area of the post is appearing in two places on the
   front end of our site.
 * The Apply Now button is also adding http:// on to the front of our mailto: links.
   Please see the following page as an example:
 * [http://www.griffisblessing.com/job/service-technician-3/](http://www.griffisblessing.com/job/service-technician-3/)
 * Please let me know if there is a fix for these issues.

 * Have you customized your template file at all? Or does your theme override the
   single listing template? Try switching to the Twenty Sixteen theme and see if
   that helps.

 * Make sure you haven’t entered “mailto:” in the email field. It requires the email
   address only, and the mailto link will be created automatically.

 * It looks like the duplicate description may be coming from the wp job manager
   field editor plugin. The first description on the page has the id “jmfe-wrap-
   job_description” and the class “jmfe-custom-field-wrap”.
 * The second description has the class “job_description” and the itemprop “description”.
   Is there a way to shut off the job description in the wp job manager plugin and
   just use the wp job manager field editor description?
 * I don’t want to modify any templates that are going to get overwritten in the
   next update.
 * Thanks for your help.

 * Dan,
 * Seems you’ve already fixed this? I don’t see the duplicated text any longer, 
   and the email link works:

 * Let me know if there’s anything else I can help with! 🙂 Thanks!
