    Hi there – I love your plugin! It is the perfect solution for my client’s needs. However, I’m trying to edit the success message and add a personalized touch, nothing too much. However, I can’t find where to edit it. I looked through previous messages and found that I need to override the theme template and edit the job-submitted.php file but I can’t find that file anywhere in my file manager. Does anyone have insight into this? Thanks!

    the template is located here:

    yourtheme/job_manager/job-submitted.php

    Hi @megank92,

    @braehler is on the right track, thanks for providing some of those details! The base template will be in the wp-content/plugins/wp-job-manager folder. You’ll want to copy the job-submitted.php file from there to the wp-content/themes/YOURTHEME/job_manager folder, then edit it from there. This will override the existing template file with your edited version.

    You can find more details on that here:

    If you are using a plugin to view the files on your site it may not show everything. For instance, on my test site I used the Bit File Manager plugin and was not able to see the wp-job-manager folder. If that is the case, you’ll want to check with your hosting provider about accessing your site using SFTP and use a tool such as FileZilla or Transmit to access and edit the files.
