Hi, I’m interested in this plugin.
Is this 100% compatible with the latest versions of Classipress and Wordpres?
Thanks in advance

@alexs74, thanks for your interest. I think you were referring to JobRoller instead of Classipress?
FXtender Pro, is compatible with the latest JobRoller and WordPress.
I purchased your FX Tender November 23, 2011 and I don’t have an updated version of the plugin. How can I get it?

Hi,
Is there any option to see in the seeker profile, if his application is viewed by employer or not? Any notification to seeker?
If we can have two columns in application tab after Job Title, may be “Company”, “Application Viewed (Y/N)” something like that would be great?
Regards,
Parag
@Parag, that option is not currently available but it’s interesting. I would suggest you to post it on the suggestions thread.
Thanks!
Hi,
Just a few questions.
1) Could not see the upload CV button in job seeker demo dashboard/Resumes.
2) Can we disable the hover preview for jobs.
3) Any notification to job seeker regarding the job applied. Like the application is seen by the employer.
Regards,
Kumi
@kumi, thanks for the interest.
Replying to your questions:
Currently, the upload CV button is only available after adding an online resume. Job Seekers can upload a CV for each Online Resume they create.
I’m preparing a release that eliminates this dependency allowing you to upload CV files at any time, without needing to add an online resume, first.
Yes
3) Any notification to job seeker regarding the job applied. Like the application is seen by the employer.
Not currently available. It was already suggested by other user. It might be added in a future release if there are more users looking for this feature.
Hi Bruno,
The main reason for buying your plugin was the ability to upload CV. However I will wait till this is included as a feature.
Thanks a lot for your time.
Regards,
Kumi
No problem, @Kumi.
By the way when are you planning for a release for this feature. I wish if it is quick.
Regards,
I’m planning to release it in July. No specific date yet.
waiting for the latest release! think this is a great plugin and looking at the ability to upload resume without having to key in an online resume first.
Hope it will be as soon as possible! thanks!
Hi,
I have some customization request. I sent you on your website. could you please check and reply to my email.

HI,
one question:
I have jobroller 1.5.4 and do not want to update this, cause I made some individual changes.
You say in you download area, that Download v.1.4.1.6 is fine for JobRoller 1.4.x – 1.7.x – but if I would like to activate the plugin it says, that it requires Jobroller 1.7.x
Can you give me some advise? Thank you in advance!
Hello Bruno, today I downloaded the last version of this plugin and found that the text strings in the Applications tab for job listers are ignoring the translations. It’s kinda weird, since that strings are already translated with PoEdit. So, it must be some bug or anything you modified in that tab only.
Can you fix it please?
@marcelopedra, can you give some examples of strings not being translated?
Hello Bruno, thanks for answering.
I uploaded some screen captures for you to see it:
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/4y3kkqrxw8qbiba/AABavgP4rPT9Sp6zwOKX6bdda?dl=0
The issue is happenning in job seekers Applications tab too. So, there is something failing within that tab.
Any idea?
I can forward this to the plugin forum if you prefer.
Thanks!
That’s strange. The strings haven’t changed. Can you try updating your .pot file? If the problem persists please open a thread on the forum.
Thanks.
Yes. Revisit the dropbox link and you’ll see my .po/.mo translations.
It’s based in the jr_fx-en_US.po from version 1.4.1.5, and I have been adding/updating the strings with poedit from the .po file in version 1.4.1.6 and now with your last release, it is the usual way to do it, and in fact never have happenned with other plugins.
Can you see something odd?
@marcelopedra, I’ve copied your .po/.mo files to my local install and I could see the translations (http://cl.ly/image/0N1717381N0a). Can you try temporarily changing your WP install to english and then back to ES, or maybe clear your cache if you’re using caching plugins?
Please use the forum for any additional question.
Hello Bruno. I did that. Switched to en_US, cleared cache, switched to es_ES, cleared cache, and it is still not showing the translations in the Applications tab.
Any possible bug or difference in the textdomain?
Bruno, just wanted to give you my 5 cents about this issue. I figured out the reason for the translations to not be shown: I had uploaded the .po/.mo files to the wp-content/languages/plugins folder instead of your lang folder. I am so accustomed to use the other folder in other websites that I didn’t notice until I begun to see untranslated all the content your plugin adds.
So sorry for the inconvenience.
Anyway, it would be sweet if your plugin could be able to read translations from the standard wp-content/languages/plugins folder.
Very thanks.
Hello,
Before buying I need to know if this plugin fulfils the 2 main requirements:
1. After job seeker clicks ‘Apply’ button, it should automatically send the seeker profile to Recruiter or Recruiter’s Email, instead of filling up the contact form currently displayed in Jobroller. Is this possible?
2. I need the Registration Process for Job seeeker to be a single flow process, meaning that Job Seeker should be compelled to fill up a Resume as soon as he creates an account in Jobroller. Currently, after registration, Seeker has to click on ‘Add Resume’ on dashboard separately. This process is surprisingly continuous and appropriate when a Recruiter submits a job. Is this possible?
Thank you. Please reply soon
@varunipatel,
Unfortunately those features are not available. You can add them to the suggestions forum thread. I try to regularly add the most popular features.
1. Besides the default JobRoller “apply with online resume”, with FXtender Pro installed, job seekers can apply using a previous uploaded cv/resume. They still need to provide some details on the apply contact form.
2. Not available
Hi,
I just purchased your plugin . Could you please explain the importance of the statement.
“Robots.txt was found. Please check that you are using the ‘Disallow: /wp-content/’ option to block search engines from indexing your Resume/CV files.”
Is it mandatory.
Regards,
Kumi
@kumi, if you don’t want your uploaded Resumes/CV files to be indexed by google, thus eventually appearing on google searches, you should follow those notes to disallow it.
I just buy today this plugin, I was very disappointed it is not working at all, still in my website there is apply online, none register user can upload resume and no redirections, pls help me in this.
thank you
@andrew24, these features are not enable by default. You need to enable each of the features from FXtender Pro settings page. I’ve also replied to this same post on the forum.
Please use the forum to report any issues that you find as it will be easier for me to manage and reply.
Thanks.
Hey Bruno
My client would like to export a mail list (CSV) for just the jobseekers only and say another for employers who post jobs – will an upgrade to this plugin do the job or is your other export plugin best for this?
@objectman, first of all thanks for your kind review on FXtender Pro.
For exporting data I would recommend my other plugin ‘WP-Smart-Export’. It allows you to export data for users and posts (including jobs, resumes, etc). It also allows you to create schedules for regular exports.
Note that although ‘WP-Smart-Export’ allows you to export data from any role: job_seeker, job_lister, etc, it currently does not provide any filters for the content it exports. Meaning that you cannot, for example export only employers who have posted jobs.
By the way, since you already have FXtender Pro you can take 6$ off from ‘WP-Smart-Export’ price. You just need to use the link provided on ‘FXtender Pro’ about page to purchase it with the discount.
Please let me know if you need any more info.
does it work with wp 4.1?
@enrique_traun, Yes. It works with WP 4.1.
Works fine on 4.1 except … not sure RSS is affected and it slams your WP site … I am getting 80% of load time is FXtender Pro … now that is heavy! Good Luck!
