11 reviews of “FXtender Pro”
I highly recommend FXtender plugin for the AppThemes JobRoller theme. FXtender takes your job board to the next level so you can have more control, funtionality and features. This has been my experience:
1 – All my pre-sale questions got answered on time and in detail
2 – FXtender allows me to re-direct visitors to signup, and upsell Job Seeker resume submissions = $
3 – Customer support has been the best I’ve received from many WP plugins. For example I had a little issue with my site on a Friday and I emailed Bruno @ FXtender asking for help. That same evening I received a detailed response with multiple solutions. Seriously..he made my weekend 😉
Conclusion: FXtender plugin is very handy for JobRoller and the customer support is professional. Go purchase FXtender now and go maximize your job board 😉
We are using Sebet’s plugin and it really has extended Jobroller’s functionality. Sebet is fast to respons to user queries too. And the new export update should be a Godsend for all those squeamish about MySQL queries.
Very extensive plugin – adds a LOT of very useful tools! Received fantastic support when needed.
Very extensive plugin – adds a LOT of very useful tools!
From the very first release, the developer (sebet) has been very responsive to requests even beyond the default setup and configuration. He was always quick to reply and even now with greater core responsibilities, he continues to enhance this product and delivers excellent support. As FXtender Pro continues to evolve it has proven to be an invaluable tool that has greatly enhanced the overall functionality, feature set and success of the JR theme.
I am very much surprised by the negativity of most of these reviews. I have known and worked with sebet both on his own site and here, and I am using his plugin FYtender from the time back, when it was only available from him. I have never experienced a problem that has not been resolved by him within a very short time. Only recently, when I reported a problem, it has been solved within an hour from the time that he got involved.
FXtender as an add-on to JobRoller has always been bringing the features that we diid not get in the “parent” product – at to some extent this is still the case. Besides this, to the best of my knowledgge, sebet is the only guy whom Appthemes has eventually taken on board to assist them with the development of JobRoller – so I understand that updates to FXtender do no longer come as often, because they go directly into JR.
Bear in mind, especially with FXtender, that his is a one man show. So I think that it is only natural that he is not available 24/7, and sometimes goes AWOL for a number of days. This has been so in the past and this is absolutely OK. What do yoou think you got for $39, a monopoly on his life? Take a look around, how prompt and how professionally are you helped in these forums? In my experience, he is one of a very few here, who take their responsibility seriously and who always tries to help – and mostly is able to do so.
Lets just say, I hesitated awhile cause the reviews sucked. But, out of sheer desperation purchased as I need the resume uploader.
DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY!! Perhaps if support got hold of me regarding this issue and NOT wait 2 days, maybe I would give it a better review but its honestly hard. No reason I should wait 2 days for anything after I purchase their sucky product. Working towards a fix or refund. Depends how quickly I get any answer, I see myself moving ALL my sites to Job Board. I shouldnt have to wait for 2 days for support.
Less than what I expected, not worth its price.
there are some bugs
Have to shut it down to get other items to work in WordPress – poor performance
Honestly this is not a good piece of software. Not value for money at all. Nothing but regrets ever since I bought it. One conflict with a theme you are using then it makes your site look like crap. To make matters worse, no matter how much you screem for help, the vendors of this plugin just dont give a damn! As soon as they get your money you are on your own. They will never respond to any of your communications.
By the way there is nothing you can get fr9m this plugin that is not already available in a other child themes such as simplux. And simplux is a high quality chikd theme – very stable and the vendors are very supportive. Just the other day a simplux vendor debugged my website and fixed a problem that was related ti this FXtender while the vendors of FXtender were nowhere to be found.
So, yah…you make your own call. But I would never recommend this plugin to anyone. You are better off donating your money ti charity.
I gave it a 1 star and honestly I feel I’ve been very generous.

Hello i have a questions about FXtender pro. I currently have the settings set for the employer to upload a logo, but some of the logos are appearing extremely big. Is there a way to auto re size the logos before publishing job
@jparker0923, you just need to change the thumbnail sizes under Media -> Thumbnail size. Recommended size is 40px.
I am getting the following error with php 5.4.4
Fatal error: Cannot re-assign auto-global variable _FILES in /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/fxtender-pro/pro.php on line 1309Is it not compatible with 5.4?
@rmdort, that is actually a “bug”. Please replace the line (#1309) that reads:
“function jr_fx_process_cv_file( $post_id, $_FILES ) {”
with:
“function jr_fx_process_cv_file( $post_id ) {”
Thanks.

@vfmonsen, yes, the additional gateways have the same behavior as PayPal and will mark the orders as paid if used with IPN.
Hi Bruno –
You have IPN capabilities with PayPal but the theme isn’t able to handle PayPal Payments Pro yet. Is this correct?
Thank you –
Hello
I bought this plugin Version: 1.3.0 (Pro) but it says to download v.1.4.0-RC2 is available. Please update to the new version directly from the plugins page
Is 1.4.0 a stable release? If yes, then where do I get it from?
Thanks
B
@Billa, please send me a PM with the username/email you’ve used to purchase FXtender Pro.
FXtender Pro 1.4.0-RC2 is a stable release candidate. It should become official soon.
@Bruno Carreço,
Can i add a custom payment gateway to this plugin? if yes, please can you send me a Document for it, or how to achieve this.
Thanks

Hi,
I purchased your plugin but am having difficulties installing it on my jobroller sites. The first worked just fine, but the second already failed.
I tried uploading using ‘install plugin’ and uploaded the zip file. This gave the following error: “Failed to write file to disk”.
I tried ftp to install the plugin in wp-content/plugins, but this does not work either.
Can you help me?
Kind regards
Christophe
Christophe, please check the following with your host provider:
– The server’s hard drive is not full
– The server’s tmp folder is not full
– There are not sufficient privileges set to the folder being written to
This error, “Failed to write file to disk”, within WordPress generally means that the tmp folder is full. While there could be other causes of the error, a review of posts in WordPress’ forums shows the issue is most often with your php tmp folder setup, upload_tmp_dir.
@Bruno,
I have send you a PM to your forum account (user: SebeT) about custom additional payment integration and have not seen your reply.
Mesh
I’ve already replied Mesh.
Hi,
My problem is solved.
I do have one question. I purchased my Fxtender from you. But I find it much more convenient that I can have the plugin online in my appthemes account. Is it possible to add this to my account. The link you send me was limited in use
Christophe Slegers
Christophe, please send me you email via PM (user: SebeT) on the forums so I can help you.
Thanks.
Hi Bruno,
I bought your plugin from you
http://bruno-carreco.com/wpuno/fxtender_jrpage.I installed it but I’m asked to update it.
Where can I get the updated version.
Also there’s no buyer access on your site.
Is it possible to have your plugin and update showing up in my App Them Account.
This would make everything available from one place.
Thanks for your help and your great plugin.
