Overview

Reign WP Job Manager Addon connects the WP Job Manager plugin family to the Reign theme. It replaces WP Job Manager’s default templates with Reign-styled ones, adds layout choices for job and resume pages, seeds ready-to-use taxonomies, and plots job and resume locations on Google Maps.

The addon does not run a job board on its own. It is a presentation and integration layer that sits on top of WP Job Manager (and optionally the WP Job Manager Resumes and Applications extensions). Job posting, resume submission, and application handling are still driven by those plugins. This addon controls how they look inside Reign and adds a set of extra fields and filters.

What the addon does

Section titled “What the addon does”
  • Overrides WP Job Manager and WP Job Manager Resumes templates with Reign-styled versions, routed through the job_manager_locate_template filter and the template_include filter.
  • Adds a WP Job Manager tab to the Reign theme options page with three settings groups: archive page layout, single page layout, and Job Manager map settings.
  • Provides three archive layouts (List, Grid, Card) and three grid sub-layouts for both job listings and resume listings, plus three single-page layouts each for jobs and resumes.
  • Seeds predefined taxonomy terms for jobs (salary, career level, experience, gender, industry, qualification) and for resumes, but only when a taxonomy is still empty.
  • Adds modern candidate social-link fields to resumes, with a legacy fallback for existing data.
  • Plots job and resume locations on a Google Map in the archive header, with clustering, zoom, and map-type controls.
  • Ships three shortcodes for a job search filter, a job listing grid, and a resume listing grid.

What it is not

Section titled “What it is not”
  • It has no REST API endpoints, no AJAX handlers, no custom database tables, and no WP-CLI commands. All wiring is form-POST plus WordPress hooks.
  • It does not replace WP Job Manager’s own settings, email, or submission flows. Those remain under the WP Job Manager menus.
  • It requires the Reign theme to be active. Without Reign, the plugin deactivates itself.

Who it is for

Section titled “Who it is for”
  • Site owners running a job board or recruitment site on the Reign theme who want a polished, consistent look without editing templates.
  • Recruiters and employers who want richer job and candidate fields (salary, experience, industry, skills, social links) out of the box.
  • Developers who want template overrides and a wide set of action and filter hooks to customize behavior.
