Wbcom Designs – BuddyPress Job Manager

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory searches this plugin turns up in, and which way each one is moving. WordPress.org publishes no history of search positions, so this starts the day we first tracked a keyword and never backfills.

wp.org is where the directory puts the plugin for that search. On merit is where it would sit if results were ranked on rating, support and updates, without the install boost. The last column is how far the wp.org position moved, from our first reading in the last 90 days to the latest.

11 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 2 listed. 9 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 4 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.

Directory rank

Ranked about #13,300 to #16,400, alongside the other plugins at 100+ installs. Plugins with the same install count swap places between wp.org requests, so this is where most of them sit. Checked monthly, last on 21 Oct 2026.

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 91% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Crossed into this band 2 days ago and a band this size takes about a year or more to cross, so the real count is still just over 100.

   I like this plugin and addons from WBCOM. I use BP Job Manager, BP Member Reviews, BP Modify Member Directory/Header. Very useful. But there are some difficulties with translation. Some items in Pot doesn’t work, or doesn’t work everywhere. I had to correct this right in PDF files.

   I would not recommend anybody to use this plugin. After installing this plugin I found that there are many issues, for instance: The “post a job” page which this plugin displays on a users buddypress profile does not display dropdown fields, such as the category drop-down, and instead just displays a long list (which looks horrible) so it will not let you select more than one category, even if you have enabled multiple-select for that field. When I raised a support ticket through the forum, they replied 6 months later and advised this was a problem with the theme I was using, OceanWP, which is one of the most common themes used, especially for Buddypress. Another developer who was the author of another plugin I was using tried to fix this issue and he confirmed the problem was with WP-job-manager. He fixed the issue on my website but also advised the BP-job-manager author of where the fault was coming from so they could fix the plugin itself but there was no response, even after several months. The second issue is that it does not work with “WP-job-manager applications” extension, which is an official “WP-job-manager” plugin, and disables the application column on the job dashboard completely. Thirdly, it also does not work with the official WP-job-manager “alerts” extension and when you try to set an alert from the BP profile it does not submit nor register it. There are also many other smaller issues which I suppose will not be fixed any time soon. Although the concept of this plugin is good, it will break your site and is not supported. I decided to uninstall and just use the default WP-job-manager pages instead. This will save you a lot of time and headache. Do not waste your time with this plugin.

   Seems these guys don’t bother to respond their users, if you check support tab, you will find no response to support queries since months. Updating the plugin and not responding to clients does’t make sense. This topic was modified 7 years, 7 months ago by mattmatthew.
