Setup Wizard

The Setup Wizard is the fastest way to get your job board up and running. It creates all the pages you need in two quick steps.

What the Wizard Does

Step 1 - Create Pages

The wizard creates six pages automatically, each with the correct block placed and configured:

Page	Block(s)	Purpose
Find Jobs	Heading + Job Search + Job Filters + Job Listings	Main job board browse page
Post a Job	Job Form	Multi-step form for employers to submit listings
Employer Registration	Employer Registration	Unified registration for both employers and candidates (users choose “Find a Job” or “Hire Talent”)
Employer Dashboard	Employer Dashboard	Employer manages jobs + applications
Candidate Dashboard	Candidate Dashboard	Candidate tracks applications + saved jobs
Companies	Company Archive	Browsable company directory

Step 2 - Sample Data

Optionally install demo content - 3 companies, 8 published jobs across multiple categories, and all taxonomy terms. This lets you see how the board looks with real content before going live.

Safe to re-run. The wizard checks for existing pages first. If a page with the correct block already exists, it will not create a duplicate.

Extensible. WP Career Board Pro and other add-ons can append their own steps using the wcb_wizard_steps filter and their own pages using the wcb_wizard_required_pages filter.

Running the Wizard

1. After plugin activation, the wizard launches automatically
2. Click Create Pages & Continue - the wizard creates all pages and shows a progress indicator
3. On Step 2, optionally click Install Sample Data to add demo content
4. Click Finish Setup to complete

Running the Wizard Again

If you dismissed the wizard or need to reset your pages:

1. Go to Career Board → Settings
2. Click Run Setup Wizard in the header

After the Wizard

Once complete, your site has a working job board. Next steps:

• Configure settings - set up moderation, job expiry, and page assignments
• Set up email notifications - customize the emails sent to employers and candidates
• Assign pages in Settings - link each page in the Pages settings tab if not done automatically
