Okay, I have resolved the issue by removing the custom logic that specifies directory-specific paths and instead leverage WordPress’s inherent template hierarchy functions in `includes/class-mas-wp-job-manager-company-template-loader.php’. I would like to propose this change be included in the next update of the “MAS Companies for WP Job Manager” plugin to align its template loading mechanism with standard WordPress practices. This change would enhance compatibility with Full Site Editing (FSE) themes and popular plugins like Blocksy, GreenShift, and Search & Filter Pro.Current Issue

Currently, the plugin employs a custom template loading mechanism through the MAS_WPJMC_Template_Loader class. This approach specifies a very specific set of template file paths, including directory-specific paths, and defaults to the plugin’s own templates. This custom logic overrides the standard WordPress template hierarchy, which can cause compatibility issues.

I suggest modifying the template loading logic to follow the standard WordPress template loading hierarchy. This involves using WordPress’s built-in locate_template function, which respects the theme’s template overrides and integrates seamlessly with other plugins.

Below is the revised class-mas-wp-job-manager-company-template-loader.php file:

<?php
/**
 * Template Loader
 *
 */

defined( 'ABSPATH' ) || exit;

/**
 * Template loader class.
 */
class MAS_WPJMC_Template_Loader {

    /**
     * Store the company page ID.
     *
     * @var integer
     */
    public static $companies_page_id = 0;

    /**
     * Hook in methods.
     */
    public static function init() {
        self::$companies_page_id = mas_wpjmc_get_page_id('companies');

        // Hook into template_include to load custom templates
        add_filter('template_include', array(__CLASS__, 'template_loader'));
    }

    /**
     * Load a template.
     *
     * Handles template usage so that we can use our own templates instead of the themes.
     *
     * @param string $template Template to load.
     * @return string
     */
    public static function template_loader($template) {
        if (is_singular('company')) {
            $new_template = locate_template(array('single-company.php'));

            if ($new_template) {
                $template = $new_template;
            }
        } elseif (is_post_type_archive('company') || is_page(self::$companies_page_id) || mas_wpjmc_is_company_taxonomy()) {
            $new_template = locate_template(array('archive-company.php'));

            if ($new_template) {
                $template = $new_template;
            }
        }

        return $template;
    }
}

add_action('init', array('MAS_WPJMC_Template_Loader', 'init'));

By adhering to WordPress’s standard template loading hierarchy, the plugin will gain broad compatibility and integrate with Full Site Editing themes and plugins like Blocksy, GreenShift, and other plugins that rely on the standard template loading process.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Hi Abbas,

I am simply attempting to override php template files the standard WordPress way via the child theme, or via Blocksy’s Content Blocks (which normally work with all page template files and CPT’s). I have successfully overridden the template files of WP Job Manager, including the single job template, the job archive template, the single resume template, and the resume archive template, but I am unable to override the MAS Companies plugin’s templates. As I mentioned, I asked Blocksy developers about it and they have said that there is something preventing standard template overrides from working on MAS Companies template files. The files that I am attempting to override are the single-company.php and archive-company.php files in the “templates” folder.

Okay, I began to suspect that this might be an incompatibility with another plugin, so I network deactivated LiteSpeed Cache, MalCare, Patchstack, Redis, WP Hide, and WP OPcache before attempting to update AIOS again. The update went through without an issue and I then re-activated the other plugins one at a time. However, I did not experience any issues when activating them.

I will chock this up as a fluke, or at best some issue specifically with the update – possibly caused by one of those other plugins. I cannot say for sure, but everything is working fine!

Thanks,
Brandon

That’s great! Note that a shortcode is just my assumption of a user-friendly solution, but I have found that the 2FA functionality does not work on front end log in forms of several plugins generated via shortcodes or in theme login modals. I wonder why it isn’t a standard to use the wordpress login hooks or whatever in third-party login shortcodes and modals but it isn’t at all!

I understand that is in no way the fault of AIOS, but some sort of pop-in solution would go a long way to correcting the missing OTP field in those places. I’ll be on the look out!

Thanks,
Brandon

I mixed up “Company Dashboard page” with “Company Listings Page” in my last post, but I’m sure you got my point. To be clear, the “Company Listings Page” is missing.

I checked the html and the code is not in there at all.

I also installed “WP Job Manager,” “MAS Companies For WP Job Manager,” and “MAS Company Reviews For WP Job Manager” on a site in a local dev environment that does not have, nor ever had WorkScout installed and it is not there. In fact, I’m starting to think that WorkScout didn’t break something – they fixed it – but the fix is implemented in their theme.

I am trying to create a default company listing page for all companies. I do not see how redirecting company list pages in Companies > All companies > View posts achieves that.

Thank You,
Brandon

I disabled all plugins today except “MAS Companies For WP Job Manager,” “MAS Company Reviews For WP Job Manager,” “WP Job Manager,” and “WooCommerce.” I also activated the “Twenty Twenty-Three” theme. I still did not get back the “Company Listings Page” drop down option in the settings!

I’m starting to suspect that the WorkScout Theme did something to mess with this. I previously had it activated but decided against it. I had the setting before and even confirmed with a fresh install of WorkScout in a local dev environment that the setting is there. But for some reason it’s just not in my live environment that previously used WorkScout but is not now…

I already tried to re-download the MAS plugins from the WordPress repository and deleted WorkScout-related database tables, but that didn’t fix it. It’s amazing how stingy those developers are with their Theme, core plugin and WorkScout Freelancer plugin but not only do they use MadrasThemes MAS plugins, I suspect they are doing something to mess with it (though I’m stumped as to how they’re doing it).
