How to edit translation?

  1. To do that, install Loco Translate, then go to Loco Translate → Languages and select either the WorkScout theme or plugins like WorkScout Core, WP Job Manager etc. (translations are split between them).
  2. Before editing strings in the Listeo theme, you need to relocate the translation files. To do this, go to the “Relocate” tab in Loco and select languages/loco/themes/ as the directory where the translation file will be stored and click Move files

    Why?     Because the files need to be saved in a safe location where WordPress won’t delete them during updates.

Can’t install theme – missing the style.css stylesheet error

A common issue that can occur when installing a WordPress themes is “The package could not be installed. The theme is missing the style.css stylesheet.” error message being displayed when uploading or activating the theme:



One of the reasons you may receive this error is if you have uploaded the incorrect file. You have two options for downloading your theme.

  1. ‘All files & documentation’ (full zip folder). You will need to extract and locate the installable WordPress file.
  2. ‘Installable WordPress file only’ – use this download file which you can directly upload to WordPress

Please make sure you are uploading only the installable theme which is called NameOf Theme.zip. If you upload ALL these files you will receive an error.

How to modify freelancer review criteria?

You can use the workscout_reviews_criteria filter to modify the criteria by adding code to your theme’s functions.php file (preferably  or in a plugin. Here are several examples:

function modify_workscout_reviews_criteria($criteria) {
    // Add new criteria
    $criteria['timeliness'] = array(
        'label' => esc_html__('Timeliness', 'workscout-freelancer'),
        'tooltip' => esc_html__('Ability to meet deadlines and deliver work on time', 'workscout-freelancer')
    );
    
    $criteria['creativity'] = array(
        'label' => esc_html__('Creativity', 'workscout-freelancer'),
        'tooltip' => esc_html__('Creative problem-solving and innovative approach to work', 'workscout-freelancer')
    );
    
    return $criteria;
}
add_filter('workscout_reviews_criteria', 'modify_workscout_reviews_criteria');

Removing Existing Criteria

function remove_workscout_criteria($criteria) {
    // Remove specific criteria
    unset($criteria['communication-skills']);
    
    return $criteria;
}
add_filter('workscout_reviews_criteria', 'remove_workscout_criteria');

Modifying Existing Criteria

function update_workscout_criteria($criteria) {
    // Modify existing criteria labels or tooltips
    if (isset($criteria['quality'])) {
        $criteria['quality']['label'] = esc_html__('Work Quality', 'workscout-freelancer');
        $criteria['quality']['tooltip'] = esc_html__('Overall quality and accuracy of delivered work', 'workscout-freelancer');
    }
    
    return $criteria;
}
add_filter('workscout_reviews_criteria', 'update_workscout_criteria');

Completely Replace Criteria

function replace_workscout_criteria($criteria) {
    // Replace with entirely new criteria
    return array(
        'expertise' => array(
            'label' => esc_html__('Technical Expertise', 'workscout-freelancer'),
            'tooltip' => esc_html__('Level of technical skill and knowledge demonstrated', 'workscout-freelancer')
        ),
        'reliability' => array(
            'label' => esc_html__('Reliability', 'workscout-freelancer'),
            'tooltip' => esc_html__('Consistency in delivering promised results', 'workscout-freelancer')
        ),
        'value' => array(
            'label' => esc_html__('Value for Money', 'workscout-freelancer'),
            'tooltip' => esc_html__('Quality of work relative to cost', 'workscout-freelancer')
        )
    );
}
add_filter('workscout_reviews_criteria', 'replace_workscout_criteria');

How freelance marketplace works?

WorkScout not only offers classic job board and resume feature but also includes a freelance marketplace, enabling freelancers to earn by completing micro jobs or user-posted projects.

  1. Employers can add micro jobs on gig basis. Freelancers can submit bids with their price and timeframe.
  2. Freelancers can manage their ongoing bids and employers their micro jobs in dashboard.
  3. Once employer select freelancer he wants to hire both will get access to project page.
  4. Each micro job has a dedicated project page for discussions, attachments, and progress updates. They can split project payments into multiple smaller payments using the Milestones feature.

    For example, a freelancer completes 40% of a project, submits a milestone, waits for employer approval and payment, then continues with the next phase.Once both parties confirm a milestone, the employer sees a Pay Now button.Payments are processed via Stripe Split Payments, automatically distributing funds and admin commission. Alternatively, the admin can collect payments (using any WooCommerce gateway) and manually pay freelancers.

  5. When project is finished by setting milestone to 100% they can both give each other reviews.

✅ How can I modify paid package settings?

❌ disable similar jobs
✅ How can I disable similar jobs sections on single listing page

❌ Deactivate Resume
✅ How to disable specific resume listing?
✅ How to disable resume feature?

Can AI Agent help me with coding?

No. Agent do not have access to theme files and cannot assist with coding, as this is restricted by our system prompt. Responses are based on our training data and the general knowledge about WordPress of the GPT-4o mini model.

AI suggested non-existent option

This might happen when a question is not precise or not covered in training data. The AI predicts answers based on patterns, so it may suggest for example setting that doesn’t exist.

Can I talk with AI agent in any language?

You can chat with the AI in your language, but answers may be less precise since Listeo training data is in english.

Also, if your question is not precise or uses unusual terminology in your language (e.g. “Add an Add” instead “Add Job”), the AI might not fully understand it.
