How to Create a Job Board Page in WordPress Using JobWP

Learning how to create a job board page in WordPress is easier than you think. With JobWP, the whole process takes less than 5 minutes — no coding skills required.

Step 1 — Install and activate JobWP #

If you haven’t installed JobWP yet:

1. Go to Plugins → Add New in your WordPress dashboard
2. Search for JobWP
3. Click Install Now then Activate

Once activated you’ll see a WP Jobs menu item in your WordPress dashboard sidebar.

Step 2 — Create your job board page in WordPress #

1. 1. Go to Pages → Add New
   2. Give your page a title — for example: Jobs, Careers, or Job Board
   3. In the page editor, add the following shortcode: [jobwp_listing]
   4. Click Publish

That’s it — your job board page is live.

Step 3 — Add your first job listing #

1. Go to WP Jobs → Add New Job in your dashboard
2. Fill in the job details — title, description, category, type, location, and deadline
3. Click Publish

Your job will appear instantly on the job board page you created in Step 2.

What your job board includes out of the box #

Once the page is live, visitors can:

• Browse all active job listings in list or grid view
• Search and filter by keyword, category, job type, and location
• Click any listing to view the full job details
• Apply directly from the job detail page

Customise your job board with shortcode options #

You can customise the job board display using optional shortcode parameters:

Job detail page showing a 404 error? #

If clicking a job listing shows a 404 error, go to Settings → Permalinks in WordPress and click Save Changes. This refreshes your rewrite rules and fixes the issue immediately.
