 * Hi,
    I like this plugin very much it is very easy to use and setup but I have
   some extended requirements and for that, I need any hooks or filters to modify
   changes, Are there any hooks & filters available to modify any functionality 
   or design layout?
 * I do not want to replace it with any other plugin so any help or response on 
   this ASAP would be really appriating.
 * Thanks,
    Riddhi k.

 * Hi!
    I just want to say I would like to know the same. In my case, for example,
   I would like to modify the list of employment types, as the organisation I work
   for has some unique employment types, and the list that is provided as standard,
   is not applicable, hence it needs to be overwritten. Preferably in the theme.
 * In the future, I also suggest, that the administrator of the website can choose
   which (of the standard) employment types to include and whether they want to 
   add something completely new.
 * There may be some employment types that are unique to the organization or the
   industry.

 * Hi riddhitatvic,
 * as I had several editing tasks with the plugin too and solved them (exepted one
   issue), please write down in an answer to this, what exactly you try to do. Maybe
   I can help with a hotfix to give you more time to find a complete solution based
   on hooks and filters (I guess you’re looking for any tweaks placed in the functions.
   php to avoid update issues next).
 * I solved this (e.g.):
    – Changing h5 tag on Joblisting (Hotfix) – Missing translations
   for e.g. “Full-time” (Hotfix) – Titles for detail texts in single job posting
 * Just in case you’d like to have a look:
    [Job listing](https://www.echolotprofis.de/blog/jobs/)
   and [Single job posting sample](https://www.echolotprofis.de/blog/jobs/supply-chain-manger-einkaeufer-beschaffung-international-m-w-d/)(
   open here: I try to figure out how to implement the field “position_title” as
   h1 in the template (SEO-Basics-Stuff). If you have an idea, feel free to share
   it with me.
 * All the best,
    Chris

 * Hi kathrynmpu,
 * this was sometghing I tried to solve too and found a solution which works just
   fine for me.
 * What you’re looking for is based in this file:
    _../wp-content/plugins/job-postings/**
   class-job-postings.php**_
 * Start by **making your changes update secure** with the following option:
 * In your (child)theme’s folder, make a folder “jobs”.
    Inside that folder, copy
   the class-job-postings.php from the plugin. Wordpress will then use the class-
   job-postings.php from there and you can safely edit this file. (inspired by: 
   [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/changing-single-job-template/](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/changing-single-job-template/)–
   thanks to Robert89)
 * **Editing that file**
 * **In line 128** the standard employment types begin. copy and paste the last 
   entry beneath and change the content that is in between this ” (the first part
   in ().
 * **Example**
    Find and copy this complete line:
 * `"OTHER" => __('others', 'job-postings'),`
 * AND paste it in a new line under the standard types.
 * Now **change it** from this:
 * `"OTHER" => __('others', 'job-postings'),`
 * **to this:**
 * `"SPECIAL" => __('specialtypethatsuitsyourneeds', 'job-postings'),`
    … I changed“
   SPECIAL” AND ‘specialtypethatsuitsyourneeds’.
 * This leads to a new selection in the backend when editing or inserting a single
   job.
 * Hopefully this helps you.
 * All the best,
    Chris

 * Hi Chris,
    Unfortunately I could not get this to work for me. I suspect that 
   the template customization might only be used for the front end of the website,
   but, not to edit the fields, etc. in the administrator editor.
