 * Hi Support,
 * We have updated the plugin to latest version 2.8.0.
    And this had lost customization
   we had done in the plugin.I saw that there is large difference in template structure,
   functions, callinf methods and files in old and new version of plugin.
 * I have used below shortcodes on the website:
    1. To display Hot jobs on the home
   page of the website – [jobpost type=”hot-jobs”] 2. To display jobs on different
   category pages – [jobpost category=”medical” posts=”1000″]
 * I want to customize these both shortcodes and want to add some text below each‘
   Job title’ in the loop on frontend of the website. I am not understanding in 
   which plugin file I have to do this. Please help and let me know the file and
   it’s path where i can customize this shortcodes and write my text.
 * Waiting for your swift reply.
 * Thanks,
    Divya

 * Hi Divya,
 * Thank you for getting in touch.
 * This happened because you had made changes directly to the code files. Whenever
   you customize anything directly through the code files, after updating the plugin,
   all customization are lost and that is what happened in your case.
 * We always recommend our users to customize SJB through the templating feature
   to avoid such inconvenience. For more information on SJB templating feature, 
   please review the CONFIGURATIONS & TEMPLATING section on our product page here:

 * We would recommend that you take help from an expert WP developer to do this 
   for you.
 * Regards,
