@hgoldsmith, when you mention other themes are referring to other themes from AppThemes?
Are you trying to use these plugins to populate your blog or your job listings? Our themes use specific post types for their content, and cannot be populated like normal posts. These plugins must be able to publish content as a different post type to work correctly on our themes.
If you just want to use the plugins to populate the theme blog, then they should work.
You can read more about
post types on the Wordpress Codex.
