Settings
Find them at WB Plugins → Job Manager in the WordPress admin. Four screens, and only one of them has anything to change.
General
Section titled “General”Three toggles, all on by default. Nothing here is required for the plugin to work.
| Setting | What it does |
|---|---|
| Post job activity | Adds a BuddyPress activity update when a member posts a job |
| Post resume activity | Adds a BuddyPress activity update when a member publishes a resume |
| Application notifications | Sends the job author a BuddyPress notification when someone applies |
The resume and application rows only appear when the matching add-on is active.
There are no role settings
Section titled “There are no role settings”Earlier versions asked you to choose which member roles could post jobs and which could apply. Those settings are gone as of 3.0.0.
WP Job Manager already decides who may post a job, and this plugin now defers to it rather
than running a second permission system alongside it. If you want to narrow who can post,
filter job_manager_user_can_post_job. That is WP Job Manager’s own contract, and it
applies everywhere on the site rather than only on the profile tabs.
Overview
Section titled “Overview”Read-only. It reports which integrations are active and what the current configuration actually does. If a feature is on but reaching nobody, this screen says so rather than reporting a cheerful “On”.
Help & Support
Section titled “Help & Support”Links to the documentation and the support centre.
Discover
Section titled “Discover”Other free Wbcom Designs community plugins. Read-only.
What the plugin stores
Section titled “What the plugin stores”Apart from its settings, nothing.
| Stored | Where | Why |
|---|---|---|
bpjm_general_settings |
option | The three toggles above |
bp-job-manager_activation_date, bp-job-manager_no_bug |
options | When the plugin was installed, and whether the review notice was dismissed |
bpjm_user_{ID}_job_listings, bpjm_user_{ID}_my_resumes_count |
transients | A cache for the profile nav counts, cleared whenever a job or resume changes status |
That is the whole list. It creates no pages, writes no per-member data, and owns no tables or post types.
Uninstalling removes every row above. It does not touch jobs, resumes or applications: those belong to WP Job Manager and its add-ons and stay exactly as they are. If your site still has the “Apply To Job” page that versions before 3.0.0 created, that page is yours now and is left in place; only the plugin’s pointer to it is removed.
