BuddyPress Job Manager

Job seekers and employers in your BuddyPress community have no way to surface professional information within their social profiles. BuddyPress Job Manager bridges BuddyPress and WP Job Manager by adding dedicated Employer and Candidate profile tabs, so members can list job openings, track applications, and display resumes directly from the community profile page.

v2.8.5 Latest

July 17, 2026
New 2 Improve 4 Fix 8 Security 1 Dev 1 Compat 1

New

  • Added German, Spanish, French, Italian and Portuguese (Brazil) translations.
  • Job and resume activity is now removed automatically when the listing is trashed or deleted, so the activity stream no longer keeps links to listings that are gone.

Improve

  • Rebuilt the admin settings screen on the modern Wbcom card-panel layout (sidebar navigation, Overview, General, Help & Support, and Discover); saved settings and data are unchanged.
  • Applied Jobs tab now uses real LIMIT/OFFSET pagination with batched post-cache priming, removing the per-row query on large lists.
  • Profile Jobs and Resumes nav counts are cached in per-user transients and invalidated on job status change or deletion.
  • The settings screen now states which WP Job Manager add-ons unlock the remaining options, instead of hiding them without explanation.

Fix

  • The bundled French translation could never load: the text domain was not registered. It now loads on init.
  • The Personal Information, URL(s) and Education profile headings had no translatable source.
  • A double-escaped heading rendered HTML entities instead of accented characters in translated languages.
  • Add Job button on the profile dashboard now opens the in-profile Post Job tab instead of an empty link or a page outside the profile.
  • Plugin and WP Job Manager frontend styles now load on the profile Jobs tab for owners whose role cannot post jobs.
  • WP Job Manager dark surfaces (dashboard buttons, notices, actions popover, submit preview) now render correctly in BuddyX, BuddyX Pro and Reign dark mode.
  • Resolved a fatal ArgumentCountError in the load-more job rows on WP Job Manager 2.3 and later.
  • Public CSS and JS now enqueue with the correct plugin version for cache busting.

Security

  • Restricted the load-more jobs AJAX response to the profile owner's published jobs and rejected requests with no resolvable member.

Dev

  • Fixed all WordPress Coding Standards violations and cleared all Plugin Check errors; removed leftover debug logging and localized the loading string.

Compat

  • Aligned with WP Job Manager 2.3 and later dashboard action hooks.
