Thread: Using JobRoller within a Web Site using a WordPress Theme

Using JobRoller within a Web Site using a WordPress Theme

My job web site currently has a wordpress theme. Can I use JobRoller within that theme (such as in a frame) for its functions while being able to keep header and sidebar information from the (parent web site) theme? Thank you in advance.

JobRoller, like all of our other themes, are stand alone themes. They are not designed to be integrated into an existing theme in the way that you describe, although with some customization you could potentially customize the JobRoller theme to "match" your existing one if you wanted to.

Hmm... that's one way to do it. I was thinking more the "corporate" stuff would be under my other wordpress theme and the part of the site that is the job board would be jobroller - it wouldn't have to look exactly the same but look well together. Just might be too difficult to run JobRoller in a subsection of the other theme. Thanks I will think about this further.

Well if you install it in a subdirectory it would work well with the current homepage, but of course would look different..

So, e.g.

yourdoman.com <== Your homepage with WP and existing theme
yourdomain.com/jobs <== Your second WP install with JobRoller

Use the built in WP custom menus option to link the 2 sites and that's as easy as it gets ;)
