Reign WP Job Manager Addon

Building a job board with WP Job Manager on Reign using default templates leaves your listings and resume pages looking bare and hard to browse on mobile. Reign WP Job Manager Addon extends every WP Job Manager extension with three job and resume layout options, Google Map integration, search and filter tools, and fully responsive designs built for recruiters, agencies, and job portals of any size.

v3.1.0 Latest

July 16, 2026
New 1 Improve 2 Fix 8 Security 1 Compat 1

New

  • Bundled translations for Arabic, German, German (formal), Spanish, French, Italian and Dutch. These are a machine-translated first pass rather than a reviewed translation; refine them per site in Loco Translate.

Improve

  • Admin and single job/resume assets are versioned by the plugin version instead of the request time, so browsers and CDNs can cache them.
  • Tokenized themeable colours to the Reign 8.0.0 --reign-* token system.

Fix

  • The bundled German (formal) translation now applies. It shipped as reign-wp-job-manager-de_DE_formal.mo, but the plugin's text domain is reign-wp-job-manager-addon, so WordPress never loaded it and every string stayed English on German sites.
  • Two location maps built from different searches no longer share one cached set of markers; the cache key is derived from the plotted posts.
  • The resume map query is capped instead of loading every resume into memory, and returns ids only.
  • The map marker-clusterer library is bundled with the addon instead of loaded from a third-party CDN.
  • Corrected undefined constants, a global post clobber, duplicate submit ids, and broken label associations on the settings screen.
  • Saving the WP Job Manager settings tab no longer wipes other Reign addons' settings.
  • Bundled translations now load: added the missing text-domain loader on init, so the shipped /languages files apply without tripping WordPress 6.7+'s "loaded too early" notice.
  • The licence key field is no longer passed through a translation function, and the licence admin page strings are now translatable.

Security

  • The settings save now checks capability and nonce, reads the shared reign_options fresh, and sanitizes input; direct-access guards were added.

Compat

  • Requires at least is now WordPress 6.5 (was 4.5) and Requires PHP is now 8.0 (previously undeclared). Tested up to WordPress 7.0. Both floors are declared in the plugin header, so a site below them is refused the update instead of fataling on it. Check the PHP version on older sites before advising a customer to update.

v3.0.0

June 18, 2026
Fix 1 Compat 1

Fix

  • Security and code-quality audit pass: tightened nonce and capability checks, guarded optional host-plugin calls, and removed dead code.

Compat

  • Verified compatible with Reign 8.0.0 and its new token-based color system (light, dark, and auto modes).

October 10, 2025

  • Recursion prevention using instance properties instead of static variables.
  • Added early exits in query filters for improved performance.
  • Removed outdated build directory and obsolete code.
  • Critical issue with job taxonomies - added missing parameter in wp_set_object_terms to prevent deletion of terms.
  • Critical issue with resume multiselect taxonomies - restored process_custom_taxonomies method for proper term saving.
  • Sanitized $_POST variables in redirect function to meet security best practices.
  • Removed legacy Google+ social field (service discontinued).
