Unlike many other job board themes currently available in the market this theme provides a separate content focused layout for employers
and candidates
to manage jobs/resumes, bookmarks and their account details. However, to access this dashboard area a user must be registered as an employer
(or candidate
).
If you have followed the "WP Job Manager" and "Resume Manager" wizard previously a couple of pages required for the dashboard are already created, we need to create the other pages manually.
Following is a list of pages with required configuration settings. Go ahead and create these pages by assigning Dashboard Template
to each one of them. Also, do make sure that you have the required plugins installed and activated before creating the relevant dashboard page.
Page Title | Page Content | Plugin Required |
Dashboard |
| Capstone Pro |
Manage Jobs |
| WP Job Manager |
Submit Job |
| WP Job Manager |
Manage Resumes |
| Resume Listings |

Manage Applications |

Manage Bookmarks |
| Bookmarks |
Manage Alerts |
| Job Alerts |
Manage Profile |
| Profile Builder |
Manage Orders |
| Paid Listings |

| Private Messages |
Once you are finished creating these pages you should have a list of pages in your admin dashboard, something like following:
You can optionally nest all pages to the main dashboard page by making it parent to all the other dashboard pages to achieve a nice nested /dashboard/nested-page/
effect.
In addition to above steps, you should also tell the theme what page is exactly what? To do it, got to Appearance -> Customize -> Dashboard Settings -> Dashboard Pages and identify all pages you have just created under each appropriate heading. This will help the theme to perform some backend functionality.
If you have followed the procedure mentioned above, you can now visit your employer/candidate dashboard by visiting any dashboard page you have just created. The menu of dashboard is all setup and you can navigate freely.
