Settings

Find them at WB Plugins → Job Manager in the WordPress admin. Four screens, and only one of them has anything to change.

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.

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.

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”.

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.
