Jobs

The Jobs tab controls whether new jobs need approval, how long they stay up, and what the job listing pages show, including the filter bar and the AJAX filters and sorting.

To open it, go to WP Job Portal → Configurations and select Jobs. For how the screen works, see System & Site.

Job Posting & Management

Manage how jobs are posted, their life cycle, and related features.

Option	What it does	Default
Job Auto Approve	Publishes jobs that employers submit straight away. When off, they wait in the approval queue. Jobs you add in the admin aren’t affected. Locked on in Careers & ATS mode.	On
Job Expiry Days Free	How many days a job stays published when submissions are free. It sets the job’s expiry date when the poster leaves that date empty. Used when Marketplace Suite is active and Submission Type is Free.	Empty
Job Expiry Days Per Listing	How many days a paid per-listing job stays published, when the poster leaves the expiry date empty. Needs Marketplace Suite (the screen says “Unlock with Credits”).	Empty

See Approving jobs for the approval queue, and Ways to charge for submission types.

Tip

A job list shortcode can also hide individual filter fields on one page, even when they are switched on here. See Shortcodes.

AJAX Filters & Sorting

Configure the visibility and order of AJAX filters and sorting on the job listing page. These filters update the job list without reloading the page.

Option	What it does	Default
Show Sorting Dropdown	Shows the Sort By drop-down above the job list.	Show
Active Filters & Order	Which filters appear, and in what order. Select an available tag to add it, or the X on an active tag to remove it. Available tags: company, jobtype, jobstatus, workplacetype, careerlevel, jobsalaryrange, dateposted.	[jobtype][workplacetype][jobsalaryrange][dateposted]

If you remove every filter and hide the sorting drop-down, the AJAX bar doesn’t appear at all.
