Tutorial: Changing the job slug/permalink

Changing the job slug/permalink

Job listings in WP Job Manager default to the permalink ‘jobs’. For example, a job may have the URL: http://yoursite.com/jobs/job-listing-title

Important: After changing the slug, resave your permalinks. Go to Settings > Permalinks and click save.

Changing the permalink base using filters

Add custom code to your theme’s functions.php to filter the permalink. For example, change ‘jobs’ to ‘careers’:

function change_job_listing_slug( $args ) {
  $args['rewrite']['slug'] = _x( 'careers', 'Job permalink - resave permalinks after changing this', 'job_manager' );
  return $args;
}
add_filter( 'register_post_type_job_listing', 'change_job_listing_slug' );

Changing the permalink slug for new jobs

Customize job permalinks using filters in your theme’s functions.php:

add_filter( 'submit_job_form_prefix_post_name_with_company', '__return_false' );
add_filter( 'submit_job_form_prefix_post_name_with_location', '__return_false' );
add_filter( 'submit_job_form_prefix_post_name_with_job_type', '__return_false' );
