Looks like the theme is injecting css classes into the job list (‘two-col-left’ and ‘col8’). Have you contacted ColorLabs?

Did you disable the Job Manager plugin? Looks like you have both Job Manager and WP Job Manager activated resulting in a conflict.

Did you see WordPress codex and this post that checks for user roles?

/**
 * Checks if a particular user has a role.
 * Returns true if a match was found.
 *
 * @param string $role Role name.
 * @param int $user_id (Optional) The ID of a user. Defaults to the current user.
 * @return bool
 */
function appthemes_check_user_role( $role, $user_id = null ) {

    if ( is_numeric( $user_id ) )
	$user = get_userdata( $user_id );
    else
        $user = wp_get_current_user();

    if ( empty( $user ) )
	return false;

    return in_array( $role, (array) $user->roles );
}

// example use for the current user
if ( appthemes_check_user_role( 'customer' )
    _e( "You've got access dude!", 'appthemes' );
else
    _e( "Sorry man, no luck.", 'appthemes' );

// example use for a specific user
$user_id = 23;

if ( appthemes_check_user_role( 'customer', $user_id )
    _e( "You've got access dude!", 'appthemes' );
else
    _e( "Sorry man, no luck.", 'appthemes' );

You are using the plugin ‘Job Manager’ on your website. This forum and the documentation you are referring to is for the plugin named ‘WP Job Manager’.

What happens when you try

[jobs per_page="20" orderby="title" show_categories="false"]

Formulated this way it can be answered: edit the Sign in link in the template file account-sigin.php (line 23).

🙂

which option should be applied to make this work, my question remains, where what and how?

Answer: in this file on line 54 replace

'slug' => _x( 'job-category', 'Job category slug - resave permalinks after changing this', 'wp-job-manager' ),

with

'slug' => 'jobs/category',

If you want to use the filter you’ll have to wait for a next release from @mike.

in the case of a job listing website only the categories and their subcategories are the one you would optimise for organic listings

My solution to your problem: create pages for all your job categories and use the shortcode with the addition of the category you want to show on that page

[jobs categories="category-1-slug"]

[jobs categories="category-2-slug"]

@mike Thanks for adding the filter.

@amery Use the new filter and a sitemap. For nice URL’s you could use a rewrite of the URL (from your htaccess file or NGINX conf depending on your server setup).

BTW: I didn’t find a way to browse the job categories…
