Company profile sidebar
You can show extra cards next to a company’s profile, and change or remove the default ones with a filter. Every company page at /companies/<slug>/ has a sidebar on the right.
Default cards
Section titled “Default cards”The sidebar shows two cards with no setup:
| Card | What it shows |
|---|---|
Similar Companies (wp-career-board/similar-companies-card) |
Companies in the same industry as the company being viewed |
Job Alerts (wp-career-board/job-alert-card) |
A card that links candidates to job alerts |
On screens wider than 1024px the sidebar sits in a 320px column to the right of the About, Company Details and Open Positions sections. On smaller screens it stacks below them.
Change the cards
Section titled “Change the cards”Use the wcb_company_sidebar_blocks filter. Each entry is a block comment string. The filter receives the list and the company ID.
add_filter( 'wcb_company_sidebar_blocks', function ( array $blocks, int $company_id ): array { $blocks[] = '<!-- wp:wp-career-board/job-stats /-->'; return $blocks; }, 10, 2);Return an empty array to show no cards.
To add your own markup, use these actions. Both receive the company ID and run inside the sidebar element:
add_action( 'wcb_company_sidebar_before', function ( int $company_id ) { /* echo markup */ } );add_action( 'wcb_company_sidebar_after', function ( int $company_id ) { /* echo markup */ } );Blocks that fit the sidebar
Section titled “Blocks that fit the sidebar”| Block | Shortcode |
|---|---|
Similar Companies (wp-career-board/similar-companies-card) |
[wcb_similar_companies count="5"] |
Recent Jobs (wp-career-board/recent-jobs) |
[wcb_recent_jobs count="5"] |
Featured Jobs (wp-career-board/featured-jobs) |
[wcb_featured_jobs perPage="3"] |
Job Alerts (wp-career-board/job-alert-card) |
[wcb_job_alert_card] |
Job Stats (wp-career-board/job-stats) |
[wcb_job_stats] |
Recent Jobs lists the newest jobs across the whole board, not only this company’s jobs.
Use the cards on other pages
Section titled “Use the cards on other pages”- Similar Companies has a Company ID setting. Set it to show similar companies for a specific company on any page. Leave it empty inside the company sidebar.
- Job Alerts lets you edit the title, text, button text and URL. Use it on landing pages or in a footer.
Your theme’s sidebar
Section titled “Your theme’s sidebar”On company pages, Career Board hides the theme’s own sidebar so the company sidebar takes its place.
