Features
A complete, self-contained job board — no ACF, no page builder, no third-party framework required.
your-theme/apqrinu-job-board/.apqrinu-job-board text domain) with wpml-config.xml for WPML / Polylang.Shortcodes
Three shortcodes let you embed job board components anywhere on your site — pages, posts, or widgets.
1. Job Listings Archive
Renders the full archive with AJAX filters and pagination. Drop it on any page.
[apqrinu_listings]2. Related Jobs
Shows jobs related by taxonomy. If no job_id is supplied, it defaults to the current single job page.
[apqrinu_related job_id="123"]3. Apply Form
Embeds the application form for a specific job. Can be placed outside of the job template.
[apqrinu_apply_form job_id="123"]Installation
apqrinu-job-board folder to /wp-content/plugins/ on your server.Configuration
Navigate to Jobs → Settings to manage global plugin options.
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
| jobs_per_page | Number of jobs shown per page in the listings archive. |
| currency | Currency code and symbol used across all salary displays. |
| default_email | Fallback email for application notifications when no per-job email is set. |
| hide_expired | Automatically hide jobs after their deadline date. |
| default_apply_shortcode | Site-wide default form shortcode (overridden per-job). |
| show_related | Toggle the related-jobs section globally on/off. |
| hide_related_empty | Hide the related-jobs section when no similar jobs are found. |
| Color picker | Set primary, hover, text, card, border, and meta colors. Applied site-wide as CSS variables. |
Apply Form
The built-in apply form uses AJAX submission, a honeypot anti-spam field, optional resume upload, and sends email notifications to the configured address. Applications are stored as private apqrinu_application posts visible only to admins under Jobs → Applications.
Third-Party Form Integrations
Replace the built-in form with any shortcode-based form plugin — per job or site-wide.
Per job: Open the job in the editor, scroll to Job Details → Apply Form Shortcode, and paste your shortcode:
[fluentform id="3"]
[wpforms id="123"]
[contact-form-7 id="456"]
[gravityforms id="2"]Site-wide default: Go to Jobs → Settings → Default Apply Form Shortcode and paste a shortcode to use for every job that doesn't define its own.
Resolution priority
- External URL — set on the job; the Apply button links directly and the form is skipped entirely.
- Per-job shortcode — set in the Job Details metabox; overrides the default for that job only.
- Global default shortcode — set in Settings; applies to every job without a per-job shortcode.
- Built-in form — the default fallback when none of the above are configured.
Theme Overrides
Every template file can be overridden from your theme without touching the plugin source — updates won't overwrite your customizations.
How to override a template
Copy the file from the plugin's template directory:
wp-content/plugins/apqrinu-job-board/templates/To your theme directory, preserving the exact relative path:
wp-content/themes/your-theme/apqrinu-job-board/Example
To override the job card partial:
# Source
wp-content/plugins/apqrinu-job-board/templates/parts/job-card.php
# Destination (your theme)
wp-content/themes/your-theme/apqrinu-job-board/parts/job-card.phpMultilingual (WPML / Polylang)
The plugin ships a wpml-config.xml at its root that registers the Job CPT and all four taxonomies as translatable content. Dynamic plugin options are exposed in WPML's String Translation UI under the apqrinu_settings admin-text key.
Translatable fields
- Job summary
- Company name
- Per-job apply form shortcode
- All four taxonomies (Job Type, Work Mode, Experience Level, Location)
Copied across translations
- Application deadline (date)
- Salary (min / max)
- Job status
- External application URL
FAQ
apqrinu_application post, visible only to administrators under Jobs → Applications. An email notification is also sent to the per-job override address, the global default email, or the site admin — in that order of priority.templates/ in the plugin directory to your-theme/apqrinu-job-board/, keeping the same relative path. The plugin checks your theme folder first on every request. See the section for a full example.wpml-config.xml at its root that registers the Job CPT, all four taxonomies, and key meta fields with WPML / Polylang for full multilingual support.Privacy
When a visitor submits the built-in apply form, the following data is stored on your site:
- Applicant name, email address, phone number (optional), and cover letter message — saved as private
apqrinu_applicationposts, visible only to administrators. - Resume file (optional) — uploaded to the WordPress Media Library and attached to the application record.
- Submitter IP address — saved with each application for spam moderation purposes.
An email notification containing the same data is sent to the per-job address, the global default email, or the site admin — in that order.
The plugin does not send any data to third-party services, does not load remote scripts or fonts, and does not set tracking cookies. Application records and uploaded resumes can be deleted at any time from Jobs → Applications. Uninstalling the plugin removes all stored applications, plugin options, and orphaned job meta.
