The JobCapturePro WordPress plugin lets you display recent job check-ins from your JobCapturePro account directly on your WordPress website. You can show all available check-ins or filter the display by city and/or state using simple WordPress shortcodes.
Before You Start
You will need:
- Administrator access to your WordPress website.
- Access to your JobCapturePro admin dashboard.
- The JobCapturePro WordPress plugin ZIP file.
- A JobCapturePro access token.
Step 1: Create Your JobCapturePro Access Token
Before installing or configuring the plugin, create an access token in your JobCapturePro admin dashboard.
- Log in to your JobCapturePro admin dashboard.
- Go to Access Tokens.
- Click Create Token.
- Enter a Token Name (for example, your location name).
- Under Permissions (Scopes), select:
- read:checkins
- read:users
- Under Token Type:
- Select Organization if one website will display check-ins from multiple locations.
- Select Location if each location has its own website.
Important: If you create an Organization token, the same access token can be used for all locations within that organization. If you create a Location token, you must generate a separate access token for each location.
- Click Create Token.
- Copy and save the access token immediately.
Important: The access token is only displayed once. Store it in a secure location, as you will not be able to view it again after leaving the page.
You will paste this token into WordPress after the plugin is installed.
Step 2: Install the WordPress Plugin
Before installing the plugin, download the latest JobCapturePro WordPress plugin from
- Log in to your WordPress dashboard.
- Go to Plugins > Add Plugin.
- Click Upload Plugin.
- Choose the JobCapturePro plugin ZIP file.
- Click Install Now.
- After installation is complete, click Activate Plugin.
Step 3: Add Your JobCapturePro Access Token in WordPress
- In WordPress, go to Settings > General.
- Scroll down to the JobCapturePro Settings section.
- Paste your JobCapturePro access token into the API Key field.
- Click Save Changes.
Once the token is saved, your WordPress website can connect to your JobCapturePro account and display job check-in data through shortcodes.
Step 4: Add the Shortcode to a Page or Post
You can place a JobCapturePro shortcode inside any WordPress page, post, or shortcode-compatible builder element.
For most websites, the main shortcode is:
[jobcapturepro_combined]
This displays the standard JobCapturePro check-in layout using the data connected to your saved access token.
City and State Filtering
You can filter displayed job check-ins by city, state, or both.
Show Check-ins for a Specific City and State
[jobcapturepro_combined city="Indianapolis" state="IN"]
Use this format when you want to show check-ins from a specific city in a specific state.
Show Check-ins for an Entire State
[jobcapturepro_combined state="IN"]
Use this format when you want to show check-ins from anywhere in a specific state.
Show All Available Check-ins
[jobcapturepro_combined]
Use this format when you do not want to filter by city or state.
Recommended State Format
Use the two-letter state abbreviation for the state value.
Examples:
state=”IN”
state=”OH”
state=”KY”
state=”FL”
state=”TX”
Shortcode Attribute Reference
| Attribute | What It Does | Example |
| city | Filters check-ins by city. | city=”Indianapolis” |
| state | Filters check-ins by state. Two-letter state abbreviations are recommended. | state=”IN” |
Common Examples
Display all available check-ins:
[jobcapturepro_combined]
Display check-ins in Indiana:
[jobcapturepro_combined state="IN"]
Display check-ins in Indianapolis, Indiana:
[jobcapturepro_combined city="Indianapolis" state="IN"]
Display check-ins in Columbus, Ohio:
[jobcapturepro_combined city="Columbus" state="OH"]
Troubleshooting
If check-ins do not appear on the page:
- Confirm the plugin is installed and activated.
- Confirm your JobCapturePro access token has been created in the JobCapturePro admin dashboard.
- Confirm the access token has been pasted into Settings > General > JobCapturePro Settings in WordPress.
- Confirm the shortcode is entered correctly.
- Try using the shortcode without city or state filters first:
[jobcapturepro_combined]
- If the unfiltered shortcode works, confirm the city and state values match locations available in your JobCapturePro check-in data.
