WPJobBoard 5.11.5 has just been released and you should see the update notification in the wp-admin panel within 24 hours max. If not then go to the wp-admin -> Dashboard -> Updates panel and click the “Check Again” button it should find the update for you.
What’s New?
There are two main features in this release.
Apply Once – The first one is the ability to allow users to apply for each job once only. This feature has been available via code snippet, but now it has been merged with the core and you can enable it from the wp-admin -> Settings (WPJB) -> Job Board Options panel.
This, of course, affects logged-in users only as only for them it is possible to check if the user already applied for a job.
Date Range Validation – In one of the previous updates, we had a change which allowed limiting the years shown in the date picker, it was often confused with an ability to limit the date selection in the datepicker, now this feature is here.
In the wp-admin -> Settings (WPJB) -> Custom Fields, when editing a field that validates as a Date you should see Date Range inputs (as in the image below)
The “Date Range” allows selecting Minimum and Maximum Dates. Note that the date can be an exact date in YYYY-MM-DD format (for example, 2025-06-01) or a relative date, for example, “+10d”, which means “+10 days from today”.
Other Changes
One other small feature we added is the “count” parameter in the [wpjb_jobs_search] shortcode, it allows setting the number of jobs to show per page.
The new release also comes with some small improvements and optimizations, with the most notable being the Forms Scheme optimization.
