Plugin update

@jerrykza
I have updated to SJB ver. 2.9.1, and now the custom templates what used to work doesn’t.

Mainly, I only need to make some change in “job-application.php” template. But after the update, it’s not working anymore.

the file is currently under: /wp-content/themes/generatepress/simple_job_board/single-jobpost folder.

Job Page Layout:Theme Layout
Theme Options: Classic Layout

Am I missing anything?

Thanks for the reply, that solved my issue!

However, I have noticed another issue in the job listing page.
Some of the job short description’s “Read more” button html code isn’t correct

it gives out code like this:
<a title="ABCD" class="read-mo...</p><p><a href=" https:="" www.123.com="" jobs="" zi-shen-ye-wu-zhuan-yuan="" "="">Read More</a>

Here is an example of what’s in the description:

<ul>
 	<li>評估新技術的材料與設備,新供應商/代理權開發。</li>
 	<li>收集市場資訊，擬定業務發展計劃與競爭策略。</li>
 	<li>可配合短期國內&國外出差。</li>
 	<li>具3年以上經驗，熟悉半導體封裝製程或設備。</li>
 	<li>具備英文或日文能力。</li>
 	<li>工作地點: 於台中或台南皆可。</li>
</ul>

and the output

<div class="job-description"><p>經歷 3年以上 學歷 大學、碩士 工程學科類、電機電子維護相關、日文相關科系 需求條件 評估新技術的材料與設備 … <a title="資深業務專員" class="read-mo...</p><p><a

The issues is where “class=” it seem to miss or acting weird there.
Is there a possibility because of the character encoding? But, if it’s encoding issue, then why are there some items are displaying fine, some don’t. That’s where I am confused.

I figure out and solved the issues. It’s in the excerpt of job descriptions. I have html code in the job descriptions for the layout. When “sjb_get_the_excerpt()” retrieve excerpt text, it goes right into the substr which chucked the closing html tag and cause the incorrect html display.

Here is what I have done with the “sjb_get_the_excerpt()” code. I just rearranged it a little by stripping special characters right at the begining when “get_the_excerpt()”. Hope this helps.

    /**

     *
     * @since   1.0.0 
     * 
     * @param   string  $charlength     Character length.
     * @param   string  $readmore       Read more Enable.
     * @param   string  $readmore_text  Read more Text. 
     * @return  string  $excerpt        Excerpt of Job Description
     */
    function sjb_get_the_excerpt() {
        $excerpt_text = trim(preg_replace('/<a[^>]*>(.*)<\/a>/iU', '', get_the_excerpt()));
        // $excerpt_text = substr(get_the_excerpt(), 0,200);
        $excerpt_text = substr($excerpt_text, 0,200);
        $excerpt_length = strlen($excerpt_text);

        if($excerpt_length > '199' ){
            $excerpt_text .= '...';
        }
        $more = '<p><a href="' . get_the_permalink() . '" class="btn btn-primary">' . esc_html__('Read More', 'simple-job-board') . '</a></p>';

        // $excerpt = '<p>' . trim(preg_replace('/<a[^>]*>(.*)<\/a>/iU', '', $excerpt_text)) . '</p>';
        $excerpt = '<p>' . $excerpt_text . '</p>';

        if (FALSE !== get_option('job_post_layout_settings')) {
            $jobpost_layout_option = get_option('job_post_layout_settings');
            if ('job_post_layout_version_one' === $jobpost_layout_option)
                $job_post_layout_version = 'v1';

            if ('job_post_layout_version_two' === $jobpost_layout_option)
                $job_post_layout_version = 'v2';
        } else {
            $job_post_layout_version = 'v1';
        }

        if($job_post_layout_version == 'v1'){
            return apply_filters('sjb_get_the_excerpt', $excerpt . $more, $excerpt, $more);
        }
        else{
            return apply_filters('sjb_get_the_excerpt', $excerpt);
        }
    }
