You may want to simplify the job submission process by removing the preview step.

To do so, simply add the following code to your functions.php file or even better, use a plugin such as Code Snippets:

<?php

/**
* Remove the preview step. Code goes in theme functions.php or custom plugin.
* @param array $steps
* @return array
*/
function custom_submit_job_steps( $steps ) {
unset( $steps['preview'] );
return $steps;
}
add_filter( 'submit_job_steps', 'custom_submit_job_steps' );

/**
* Change button text (won't work until v1.16.2)
*/
function change_preview_text() {
return __( 'Submit Job' );
}
add_filter( 'submit_job_form_submit_button_text', 'change_preview_text' );

/**
* Since we removed the preview step and it's handler, we need to manually publish jobs
* @param int $job_id
*/
function done_publish_job( $job_id ) {
$job = get_post( $job_id );

if ( in_array( $job->post_status, array( 'preview', 'expired' ) ) ) {
// Reset expirey
delete_post_meta( $job->ID, '_job_expires' );

// Update job listing
$update_job = array();
$update_job['ID'] = $job->ID;
$update_job['post_status'] = get_option( 'job_manager_submission_requires_approval' ) ? 'pending' : 'publish';
$update_job['post_date'] = current_time( 'mysql' );
$update_job['post_date_gmt'] = current_time( 'mysql', 1 );
wp_update_post( $update_job );
}
}
add_action( 'job_manager_job_submitted', 'done_publish_job' );

You may need to remove the first line from the code.

Basically this does a few things:

  1. Remove the preview step
  2. Change preview text to ‘Submit Job’
  3. Manually publish job (as the preview handler normally does this)
