Choosing Layouts

This guide walks through setting the archive and single-page layouts for jobs and resumes. All layout controls are on the Reign theme options page.

  1. Go to the Reign theme options page in the WordPress admin.
  2. Open the WP Job Manager tab.
  3. You will see three groups on the left: Archive page layout, Single page layout, and Job Manager Map Settings.
  1. Open Archive page layout.
  2. Under Job Listing Layout, choose List, Grid, or Card.
  3. If you chose Grid or Card, set Job Listing Grid Layout (Default, One, Two, or Three) and Job Listing Grid Column (Two, Three, or Four).
  4. Save the settings page.

List defaults to a single column. Grid defaults to two columns and Card to four, but the column control overrides that.

The resume controls appear in the same Archive page layout group when WP Job Manager Resumes is active.

  1. Under Resume Listing Layout, choose List, Grid, or Card.
  2. Set Resume Listing Grid Layout and Resume Listing Grid Column if you chose Grid or Card.
  3. Save.
  1. Open Single page layout.
  2. Under Single Job Layout, choose Job One, Two, or Three.
  3. Under Single Resume Layout (Resumes active), choose Resume One, Two, or Three.
  4. Save.

Visit your job archive page and a single job to confirm the chosen layouts render. Repeat for resumes. If a change does not appear, clear any page or object cache and reload. Layout choices are read from the shared reign_options value on each page load, so no rebuild step is needed.

Overriding layout per page with shortcodes

Section titled “Overriding layout per page with shortcodes”

The settings above control the main WP Job Manager archive pages. To place a differently styled grid on any other page, use the jobmate_job_listing or jobmate_resume_listing shortcodes with their layout attributes. See the Shortcodes section.
