WP Job Manager Embeddable Job Widget Add-on 1.1.6

The WP Job Manager Embeddable Job Widget is a specialized add-on for the popular WP Job Manager plugin. It allows you to turn your job board into a "distribution network" by letting other people display your job listings on their own websites.

Unlike a standard WordPress widget that only works on your own site, this add-on generates a snippet of JavaScript/HTML code that can be pasted into any website (including Wix, Squarespace, or static HTML sites).

🛠️ How It Works: The Workflow

The add-on creates a "Widget Generator" page on your site. Here is how the process looks for a user (e.g., a partner company or a niche blog):

Configuration: The user visits a page on your site where they can choose filters like:

Keywords: Only show jobs containing "Developer."

Location: Only show jobs in "New York."

Categories/Types: Filter for "Full-time" or "Design."

Count: Choose how many jobs to display (e.g., 5 or 10).

Preview: The user sees a live preview of how the widget will look.

Generate Code: They click a button to get a small block of code.

Embed: They paste that code into their own website, and your jobs appear there automatically.

⚙️ Setting It Up

To enable this feature on your site, follow these steps:

Install the Add-on: You must have the core WP Job Manager plugin installed first.

Create the Generator Page: 1. Create a new page (e.g., "Partner Embeds").

2. Add the shortcode: [embeddable_job_widget_generator]

3. Publish the page.

Customization: If you want to change the look of the embedded jobs (colors, fonts), you can override the plugin's template files:

content-embeddable-widget-job_listing.php (Structure)

embed-code-css.php (Styling)

🌟 Key Benefits

Increased Reach: Your jobs are seen by more people without you having to drive all the traffic to your own site.

Backlink Profile: Every job in the widget typically links back to the original listing on your site, which can help with SEO.

Revenue Potential: You could charge employers extra to have their jobs "distributed" via your embed network.

⚠️ Important Requirements

Protocol Matching: The widget usually requires both sites to use the same protocol (both HTTPS or both HTTP) to avoid security "Mixed Content" errors.

External Access: Your site must be publicly accessible (not behind a maintenance mode or local environment) for the external widget to pull data.
