This is after the issue is identified, corrected, and tested, so we don’t have an estimated time on when that will be, currently. * Best, Cena * Thread Starter [mojarakis](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mojarakis/) * (@mojarakis) * [3 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/remote-position-optional/#post-15846277) * THX for answer [@cena](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cena/), how can I deactivate this function? The optionsfield “Remote Position (optional)” is included in the Jobform but dont work. regards - This reply was modified 3 years, 10 months ago by [mojarakis](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mojarakis/). * [Rynald0s](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rynald0s/) * (@rynald0s) * Automattic Happiness Engineer * [3 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/remote-position-optional/#post-15846288) * Hi [@mojarakis](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mojarakis/) * If I select the field, it doesn’t appear in the posted job. * It sounds like you need it to have a label on the listing that makes it clear its a “Remote”job listing. * Admittedly, I am not sure if it should display the label (user-facing), but you could add that as a job type or tag, to have it displayed on the job. * The code, as far as I can see, adds `_remote_position` for the structured data, which helps Google and other search engines understand certain information about your jobs, such as the type, the location, the name of the employer, and so on. * Cheers! * Thread Starter [mojarakis](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mojarakis/) * (@mojarakis) * [3 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/remote-position-optional/#post-15846343) * Hallo [@rynald0s](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rynald0s/), Thanks for the answer. It’s a little confusing for me. When the customer selects the Remote radio button, it should be displayed on the job page. The tag or job type are something else again, aren’t they? * It sounds like you need it to have a label on the listing that makes it clear its a “Remote”job listing. Where I have to label??? Why is the label missing? - This reply was modified 3 years, 10 months ago by [mojarakis](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mojarakis/). - This reply was modified 3 years, 10 months ago by [mojarakis](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mojarakis/). - This reply was modified 3 years, 10 months ago by [mojarakis](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mojarakis/). * Thread Starter [mojarakis](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mojarakis/) * (@mojarakis) * [3 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/remote-position-optional/#post-15846366) * Screen [https://ibb.co/y4StP8s ](https://ibb.co/y4StP8s) * [hastibe](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hastibe/) * (@hastibe) * [3 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/remote-position-optional/#post-15847278) * [@mojarakis](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mojarakis/) — when it is checked, it does add “(Remote)” underneath / after the entry for the location of the job of the Jobs page and also on the single job listing; see the example “A Remote Job” listing that I created on the WP Job Manager demo site: [https://demo-wcpl.wpjobmanager.com/jobs](https://demo-wcpl.wpjobmanager.com/jobs) * Additionally, if job seekers search for “remote” in the “Location” search bar filter on the Jobs page, the remote job will come-up, as a result of the option being selected. * [@rynald0s](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rynald0s/) and [@cena](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cena/)— when new features like this are implemented, could part of the process be adding documentation about them (to [wpjobmanager.com/documentation](https://wpjobmanager.com/documentation/))? Beyond just explaining what it does visually / functionally on the front-end, knowing what features do functionally “behind-the-scenes” (like what [@rynald0s](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rynald0s/) mentioned about the feature adding structured data to the post to help search engines identify the remote nature of the job) is really helpful to have in the documentation. * [Mohamed Mehdi Benchalal](https://wordpress.org/support/users/muffinpeace/) * (@muffinpeace) * [3 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/remote-position-optional/#post-15847730) * Hi [@mojarakis](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mojarakis/) * By default, the “Remote” label should be visible on the specific job listing that has that field checked, as [@hastibe](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hastibe/) had mentioned; however, it’s possible that your theme may overwrite or prevent it from showing correctly. * [@hastibe](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hastibe/) I appreciate your feedback regarding the documentation for new features and will certainly circle this to our team 🙂 * Best, * Thread Starter [mojarakis](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mojarakis/) * (@mojarakis) * [3 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/remote-position-optional/#post-15848649) * THX for your support.
