Thanks for stepping in @mike. I can also only get it working when editing the file directly as you point out in your comment http://ww.wp.xz.cn/support/topic/correct-handling-of-jobs-vs-job-folders?replies=15#post-5780132.

Good to hear. You are welcome!

Replaced the file with the original?

https://github.com/mikejolley/WP-Job-Manager/blob/master/includes/admin/class-wp-job-manager-writepanels.php

You can find the code for the search form in the file /templates/job-filters.php If you only want to show the categories you need to overwrite the template (see docs on how to do this) and replace the content of job-filters.php with the following

<?php wp_enqueue_script( 'wp-job-manager-ajax-filters' ); ?>
<form class="job_filters">
	<?php do_action( 'job_manager_job_filters_start', $atts ); ?>

	<div class="search_jobs">
		<?php do_action( 'job_manager_job_filters_search_jobs_start', $atts ); ?>

		<?php if ( $categories ) : ?>
			<?php foreach ( $categories as $category ) : ?>
				<input type="hidden" name="search_categories[]" value="<?php echo sanitize_title( $category ); ?>" />
			<?php endforeach; ?>
		<?php elseif ( $show_categories && ! is_tax( 'job_listing_category' ) && get_terms( 'job_listing_category' ) ) : ?>
			<div class="search_categories">
				<label for="search_categories"><?php _e( 'Category', 'wp-job-manager' ); ?></label>
				<?php wp_dropdown_categories( array( 'taxonomy' => 'job_listing_category', 'hierarchical' => 1, 'show_option_all' => __( 'All Job Categories', 'wp-job-manager' ), 'name' => 'search_categories', 'orderby' => 'name', 'selected' => $selected_category ) ); ?>
			</div>
		<?php endif; ?>

		<?php do_action( 'job_manager_job_filters_search_jobs_end', $atts ); ?>
	</div>

	<?php do_action( 'job_manager_job_filters_end', $atts ); ?>
</form>

Add the following to your functions.php

/* Create job maps */
 */
	function the_job_map( $post = null ) {
		$location = get_the_job_location( $post );

		if ( $location ) {
			echo apply_filters( 'the_job_location_map_link', '<a class="google_map_link" href="http://maps.google.com/maps?q=' . urlencode( $location ) . '&zoom=14&size=512x512&maptype=roadmap&sensor=false"><img class="google_map" src="http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/staticmap?center=' . urlencode( $location ) . '&markers=color:red%7C' . urlencode( $location ) . '&zoom=8&size=200x200&scale=2&maptype=roadmap&sensor=false"></a>', $location, $post );
		}
	}

To display the map you can now use the following

<?php the_job_map(); ?>

If you want to tweak how the map looks you should focus on this part: ‘&zoom=14&size=512×512&maptype=roadmap&sensor=false’ Search Google how to customize the map some more.

Edit: this will show an image (512px) of the map location. Why? Because I prefer an image instead of the whole interactive map. Especially with the small size of the map.

@olafnekeman the final code must be added as a new file in the root folder of your (child)theme. For instance call it ‘tpl-job-dashboard.php’.

Next create the page and select the ‘Submit Job Form’ template (right hand side).

@apqc it is fairly simple and with the instruction given in this thread you should be able you to make the changes yourself.

1. create a child theme
2. read WP Job Manager documentation on overriding templates
3. add the code from @mike described here to the file content-single-job_listing.php

If you feel that the provided information and tips are not enough you should get in contact with someone who can do it for you.
