Problem:

The client is developing a site using WPML with WP Job Manager and is facing an issue where bookmarks set in one language do not appear when switching to another language.

Solution:
We recommend the following steps after ensuring a full site backup:

1) Navigate to

/wp-content/plugins/wp-job-manager-bookmarks

and open

wp-job-manager-bookmarks.php

for editing.
2) Modify the code at line 356 and line 407 to include WPML filters that handle translations of bookmarked posts. This ensures that when a post is bookmarked in one language, it is recognized across all translations.

3) To prevent duplicate bookmark entries appearing for each language on the bookmark page, modify the

my-bookmarks.php

file in the

/wp-content/plugins/wp-job-manager-bookmarks/templates/

directory. Update the loop handling the display of bookmarks to check the language code of the bookmark against the current language and only display bookmarks that match.

Problem:
You are developing a site using WPML where users can apply for jobs in different languages. You want to ensure that if a user applies for a job in one language, they cannot apply for the same job in another language. Additionally, you want all applications to be visible in the job dashboard across all language versions. However, users are currently able to apply for the same job in different languages, and applications are shown separately in the job dashboard for each language version.
Solution:
We have identified that this behavior is expected since jobs are translated and have different post IDs, making them distinct posts in each language. Therefore, Job Applications are also treated separately for each language. We recommend leaving the Job Application translatable and allowing users to apply in both languages. If this solution does not meet your needs, you may consider submitting a feature request to the WP Job Manager authors for the desired functionality. You can submit this request through their support or GitHub at https://github.com/Automattic/WP-Job-Manager/issues.

Problem:

You are developing a site using WP Job Manager and WPML and have encountered an issue where the application form in the job edit form displays in all languages instead of only the form of the current language.

Solution:

To resolve this issue, we recommend modifying the code to ensure the application form displays only in the current language. Please follow these steps after making a full site backup:

1) Navigate to the

wp-content/plugins/wp-job-manager-applications/includes/

folder.
2) Open the

wp-job-manager-applications-functions.php

file for editing.
3) Locate line 302.
4) Apply the following changes:

From

function get_application_forms() {
    $posts = new WP_Query(
        array(
            'post_type'        => 'job_application_form',
            'posts_per_page'   => - 1,
            'suppress_filters' => true,
            'orderby'          => 'title',
            'order'            => 'ASC',
        )
    );
 
    $default_form = WP_Job_Manager_Applications_Default_Form::get_default_form();
 
    if ( $posts->post_count <= 1 ) {
        return null;
    }
    $application_forms = [];
 
    if ( array_key_exists( 'ID', $default_form ) ) {
        $application_forms[ $default_form['ID'] ] = $default_form['post_title'];
    }
 
    foreach ( $posts->posts as $post ) {
        $application_forms[ $post->ID ] = $post->post_title;
    }
    return apply_filters( 'job_application_forms', $application_forms );
}

To

function get_application_forms() {
    $posts = new WP_Query(
        array(
            'post_type'        => 'job_application_form',
            'posts_per_page'   => - 1,
            'suppress_filters' => false, // replace true with false
            'orderby'          => 'title',
            'order'            => 'ASC',
        )
    );
 
    $default_form = WP_Job_Manager_Applications_Default_Form::get_default_form();
 
    if ( $posts->post_count < 1 ) { // replace <= with <
        return null;
    }
    $application_forms = [];
  /* comment out this part if you don't want to see the default form in other languages
    if ( array_key_exists( 'ID', $default_form ) ) {
        $application_forms[ $default_form['ID'] ] = $default_form['post_title'];
    }*/
 
    foreach ( $posts->posts as $post ) {
        $application_forms[ $post->ID ] = $post->post_title;
    }
    return apply_filters( 'job_application_forms', $application_forms );
}
