WP Job Manager Job Tags Add-on 1.4.6

The WP Job Manager Job Tags Add-on is a premium extension that significantly improves the filtering and search capabilities of your job board by allowing employers to assign relevant tags to their job listings.

It essentially uses the standard WordPress taxonomy system to enable tagging for the custom post type used by WP Job Manager.

🏷️ Key Features and Functionality

The primary purpose of this add-on is to create a more detailed and accurate way for job seekers to find highly relevant opportunities based on skills, technologies, or other related terms.

Employer Tagging: It adds a Job Tags field to the frontend job submission form, allowing the employer to enter tags like:

Skills: SEO, Python, SQL, Project Management

Technologies: React, AWS, Figma, WordPress

Interests: Remote, Startup, Non-profit

Customizable Input: The administrator can choose how the tags are entered on the submission form, such as:

A Text Box (allowing free-form, comma-separated entry of new tags).

A Multiselect or Checkboxes (limiting input to only pre-existing tags).

Filtering Enhancement: The standard [jobs] shortcode (which displays the main job list) is automatically enhanced with a "filter by tag" section. This often appears as an interactive tag cloud that allows job seekers to click on one or more tags to refine the list of jobs instantly.

Shortcodes for Tags: The add-on includes specialized shortcodes to display tags separately from the main job list:

[job_tag_cloud]: Displays a cloud of the most popular job tags, which is useful for showing high-demand skills or roles.

[jobs_by_tag]: Allows you to embed a list of jobs filtered by specific tags anywhere on your site (e.g., displaying "Featured JavaScript Jobs" on a specific page).

Tag Archives: When enabled, clicking a tag on a job listing or in a tag cloud links to a dedicated archive page showing all jobs that share that specific tag.

This add-on is essential for any job board that needs to organize listings based on granular, technical details beyond the broader "Category" and "Type" options offered by the core plugin.
