Hello,
On our website (https://www.a-flex.nl/vacatures/), we are using the Employer frontend of our website to add jobs.
Everything is fine, except the job location:It can only be picked up in the list already defined in the taxonomy of job locations.
So, for 1 job, we have:
Job address: We can freely enter a full address that shows well on the map
Job location: only from a list, and so, impossible to have the right cities in the search box dropdown "job location".
In the example attached, you can see a job showing in the city of Venlo on the map with the Job Address, but only categorised in the Netherlands for the Job Location, as the city of Venlo is not in the Taxonomy.
How can we enter the Job Location in the Employer frontend?
I guess this is also the field used by job boards when syncing data?
Thank you.Hello @NooTheme, it's already 3 days since I posted this issue....
Hi.
Thank you for contacting us, and sorry for the late response.
You can enable the option to allow input of the location when submitting a new job at the front-end. Please go to Jobmonster/ Custom fields/ Job tab and select "Single Location with Input" for the job_location field.
When you enable that option, everyone can submit a new job location. Please consider enabling that option.
Regards.
Hi Jackie,
Thank you for sharing this setting. It almost solves the issue:
Now, we can add locations from the frontend. However, the box for entering the location does not allow associating a parent location. As a result, as we have multiple countries, a new location will appear in the live website outside its respective country, at the same level as other countries. (see screenshot)
Then, the result is- CountryA
- CityA1
- CityA2- Country B
- CityB1
- CityB2- CityA3
Is it possible to select a parent when adding a location in the frontend?
Yes, please provide us with your site URL, admin account again. We will help you add the parent option when adding a new location in the front-end. https://prnt.sc/qc_dadQNECLQ

@jackie, still no news from you...
Hi.
Please provide us with your FTP account. I need to edit the source code to help you add the Parent option when adding a new location from the front-end. https://prnt.sc/E1buEkbKvAzW
I can't use the WP File manager plugin to edit the source code.
Regards.
Hi @jackie,
Did you get a chance to make the edit? I have no news from you in the last 6 days.
Hello @jackie,
Any update on this? My first message was 2 weeks ago...
Hi.
Sorry for the late response.
I have edited your source code to add the parent location option.
Please recheck it.
Regards.
Hi @Jackie,
Thanks for adding the functionality to the front end.
However, after selecting a parent and entering a new location, the parent is not applied to the new location, which is still listed at the first level instead of inside the parent. See screenshots
Hi @Jackie, any news?
Hi @Jackie,
It's hard to develop a website while having to wait 4 to 15 days between each answer...@Jackie, any update about my last message 3 days ago?
Hello Jackie, it's been around 5 days between each of your answers, and our ticket has been open for 2 months now.
That would be great if you could answer in a shorter timeframe
Hello.
I have checked your site on our browser, and the sub-location input still works fine. https://www.loom.com/share/59881cdf8e8c43f894bc1625b2183b83
Please recheck on another browser.
Regards.
