WP Job Manager backfill: live jobs for your WP Job Manager job board
How WP Job Manager imports jobs, and how to feed it from our API.
WP Job Manager is a WordPress plugin for running a job board.
Import details below come from the vendor's documentation, checked on 2026-10-19.
How WP Job Manager imports jobs
WP Job Manager does not import feeds by itself; the vendor lists add-ons for it. One is the WP All Import integration, which imports from any XML or CSV file through the WP All Import plugin.
The free WP All Import edition imports an uploaded file. WP All Import Pro adds importing from a URL and scheduled recurring imports.
Another add-on, Go Fetch Jobs, fills the board from RSS job feeds. The vendor's ZipRecruiter backfill add-on was retired on 2020-11-18.
Accepted formats
- XML file
- CSV file
- RSS feed (Go Fetch Jobs)
Limits and plans
- WP All Import Pro is required for import from a URL and for scheduled imports.
- The add-on bundle is listed from $159 per year; whether the two import add-ons are in the bundle is not stated.
“Easily import job listings from any XML or CSV file to the WP Job Manager plugin.”
Documentation
Connect jobs-database.de to WP Job Manager
- Pull jobs from our API: GET https://api.jobs-database.de/v1/jobs with the X-API-Key header and limit=100, and follow next_cursor until has_more is false.
- Write the jobs to an XML or CSV file.
- Install WP All Import and the WP Job Manager add-on for it, then map the fields inside WP All Import.
- With WP All Import Pro the import reads a URL on a schedule; the free edition imports an uploaded file.
- Or ask us for a full-feed file in that format, so you do not have to build the export yourself.
Paging, limits and the exact response are described in the API quick start.
