Disappointment and time lost
WP Job Manager is a total disaster for any website aiming for a modern and professional look. The outdated, unattractive design of the job listings is a major turn-off for visitors. After trying to integrate it into popular WordPress themes like Avada, Astra, and Divi, I was met with a terrible result: the site looked cheap and unprofessional. To fix it to a decent standard, I would have to spend a fortune on a designer and developer. The plugin developers must be living in the past because they’ve failed to update the design to meet current standards.This has led to a surge of scammers selling their ‘premium’ themes for WP Job Manager on platforms like ThemeForest. I personally bought Cariera, Jobify, and WorkScout – all of which turned out to be empty promises. These themes are unstable, display inconsistently across different browsers, and conflict with other essential WordPress plugins. Reaching out to the developers is like shouting into the void. But the biggest issue is that WP Job Manager is completely unsuitable for niche-specific job boards. The lack of ability to add custom fields and filters is a crime for a plugin like this. I’ve had to resort to using additional plugins like WP Job Manager Field Editor and Search and Filtering for WP Job Manager, but they’re just as buggy as the main plugin. And their developer never responds to support tickets. Developers, wake up! You’ve created a product that nobody needs in this state.

THis app is a shirt show
Formatting and style is a mess. You’re going to have to do a lot of work to get it to display correctly. It’s not plug and play. I did a TON of work and code correction. When I finnaly got a job posted and tested it. I clicked a job listing to apply and thse giant black mushroom type graphics spread accross the full width of the page displayed. You had to scroll down 3 pages worth to see the job listing – which was also full PC screen width.
Please Allow Button Label Edits & More Customizations
Overall, this is a good plug-in and very helpful. I just wish there was more customizations that can be done specifically one thing I would like to do is be able to edit with the button text throughout the system. Some of them don’t really make any sense. Like for example, when someone submitting a job it says preview, but that makes the user think that all they’re doing is previewing it and they’re not taking the next step towards submission. I would like to change that button into Preview and submit job to make it more clear. Another example would be allowing for making the link opening a new tab, changing link colors and a variety of other things. Adding more options in settings like this would be helpful.Also having more common page builder support like the Elementor theme builder to allow for custom page design would be helpful. I could also see ACF/SCF integration being really helpful as well.

Solid Support
Answered all of our questions in great detail and pointed us in the right direction on how to customize things.
A MESS.
Are these developers kidding me? I can’t log into my account on their site, I can’t post in their stupid support forum, and immediately out of the gate after installing this software my clients are having ridiculous tech issues that make us look unprofessional, but I can’t even get support for it! I even tried the support form on the Gravatar site and it’s fake — when you hit submit it says you’re not connected to the internet. Is this even a real app???

Can’t log into account so can’t get support
The ridiculous requirement to log in with Gravatar has caused us to lose access to our account. Without account access, it’s impossible to reach a human in support. Password reset links don’t work, so you can’t reset your password either. The whole system is a complete mess. This is a paid plugin and should include support, but if you get logged out, you’re left with no support at all. Will find another pluging with proper support.
