Thread: Permalink Issue

Permalink Issue

Hello Team!

Thanks for putting together an extremely slick package for a job board. We have been working with your theme for a few weeks now getting ready to transition from a custom developed application. I have a couple of issues that need to be addressed they are not related to each other so I will either take them one step at a time or post a separate thread for each.

First and foremost I need to address the permalink structure. I have the custom permalink set, and the string set to /job/%post_id%/%post_name%/ The reasoning why I need the post or job id in the URL is simple, it is entirely possible that someone will post the same job title so we need a way to uniquely identify each job based on the URL structure.

While I have the permalink structure set to what I thought was correct, our URL's do not include the post id number. I imagine this is because the post_id is never set, jobs do not appear as posts, they appear as jobs.

My question what should I substitute in post_id's place? I have tried job_id with no luck.
