  • IMPORTANT NOTICE BEOFRE UPDATING: WP Broadbean version 3.0 is a major overhaul of the plugin from earlier versions. With this in mind, this version is NOT backward compatible to earlier versions. This means if you are running a version earlier than version 3.0 already, it is crucial that you test the update on a staging or test site before updating to the latest version.
  • Deprecated the theme inbox file version located at wpbb/inbox.php in the active theme and replaced with wpbroadbean.php in the root of the active theme.
  • Deprecated the double settings arrays. Settings should now be registered against the wpbb_plugin_settings filter.
  • Adds options footer credit with a link back to plugin authors.
  • No longer use the CMB Meta Box framework to provide the job fields on the job edit screen. This framework is no longer supported and therefore this has been removed and replaced with a native meta box solution.
  • Newly configured way of storing applications, temporarily whilst notifications are sent and then removed for privacy and security reasons.
  • Extensible application form where developers can now make changes to application fields.
  • New endpoint URL which no longer uses a query string name and value, but an actual URL. The endpoint for jobs to be posted to is now /wpbb/jobfeed/.
  • Application forms are now shown on job single page views rather than having a seperate page.
  • Added a check for SSL. If your site is not running over SSL (https) a warning message is shown on the settings page.
  • Allow users to display a credit to Highrise Digital below each single job post, should they wish the give something back to us!
  • Allow the jobs post type to show in the REST API. This means that partial block editor (aka Gutenberg) support is provided. The edit screens now use the new block editor.
  • Prepared the plugin for add-ons being released, namely allow add-ons to add settings to different admin menu pages.
  • The job post ID is now appended to the jobs permalink slug. This prevents a job having the same URL as a deleted job in the future.
