The Search & Map settings control how geolocation behaves on job and resume search pages. These options affect proximity searches, radius filtering, map display, markers, and how results are ordered.
All settings on this page apply to both job listings and resumes, unless noted otherwise.
The same settings structure and options apply to both job and resume search pages.
Search & Map Settings Options
1. Usage
These settings apply globally when using the [jobs] or [resumes] shortcode with geolocation enabled via wpjmgeo_use="2".
If you instead use wpjmgeo_use="1", all settings on this page are ignored and geolocation behavior must be defined directly via shortcode attributes.
Example:
[jobs wpjmgeo_use="2"]
2. Preset Pages
Select the pages where geolocation search features should be active automatically.
This is useful for themes or templates that do not expose shortcode editing, such as built-in job listing pages or homepage templates.
3. Location Input
Address Autocomplete
Enable Google Places autocomplete suggestions while typing in the location field.
Autocomplete Countries
Optionally limit autocomplete suggestions to specific countries. You may select up to 15 countries. Leave empty to allow suggestions from all countries.
Locator Button
Display a locator button inside the location field that retrieves the visitor’s current position when clicked.
Page Load Locator
When enabled, the browser will attempt to detect the visitor’s location on page load and automatically submit the search form using that location.
4. Radius & Units
Radius
Define one or more radius values (comma-separated). Multiple values appear as a dropdown in the search form.
Units
Choose whether distances are measured in miles, kilometers, or allow users to select their preferred unit.
5. Ordering Results
Control how search results can be ordered using the Order By dropdown.
Available options include distance, title, featured, date, modified, ID, parent, random, and name.
6. Map Display Settings
Google Map
Display a Google Map above the list of search results.
Map Size
Control the map width and height using pixels or percentages.
Map Type
