Thanks a lot. Just add more feature or guide us how to show Regions in job detail view is perfect. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/2ad324827c3f33b3b0aa0553874149a807db6bbe17106d5d9e820f5bf1485bd9? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Not a Good Idea.](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/not-a-good-idea-4/)󠁿 [Michael](https://profiles.wordpress.org/mgparisi/) February 10, 2021 Sadly, this plugin is a poor idea. They SHOULD of used a drop down to query WP-Job Manager by the cords search found. Unfortunately, they convert the WP Job Manager Search fields to a drop down that uses a Taxonomy. This means it wont be compatible with many themes and plugins. I suggest using an AutoComplete field or a Select2 Field with AutoComplete locations. Maybe a predefined listing of jobs that set the cords and distances of the search. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/109851919a171ac5df460c01952fd3782b23125be70f12d8494c06192bae28b6? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Sad to see this go](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/sad-to-see-this-go/)󠁿 [Cyndi](https://profiles.wordpress.org/cynderella/) October 5, 2020 Sad to see the plugin developer let this go or another hasn't offered to continue updating it; it's worth paying for. Many directory themes rely on it. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/4291079bd1983cb3c677d06a64d5374a5bda7a611ab024d27224cf023ab02b06? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[No Longer works](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/no-longer-works-117/)󠁿 [will48](https://profiles.wordpress.org/will48/) November 13, 2019 This plugin has not been updated for the last three updates for Wordpress and no longer works. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/32fe4f4ce92d42575ca83b170523d70adb4993bbb2a7f9f6f6776e80b9c8855b? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Region field missing](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/region-field-missing/)󠁿 [dcmedia](https://profiles.wordpress.org/dcmedia/) April 2, 2019 For the last 2 months the Region field is missing in the backend. No response from the developer give me the impression that this plugin is no longer being developed. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/fcb1ca1b443fefe21d6be60ed16b4cfc094ef3ee35410f08ec3af764344671ee? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Can be better](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/can-be-better-3/)󠁿 [amin3g](https://profiles.wordpress.org/amin3g/) September 3, 2016 The plugin idea is good and can be useful in many cases. In my case, having a dropdown list instead of typing the location does not work, since for some jobs, the location can be small cities. If it was the same old text input field, but with autocomplete from regions defined, it would be much better.
