Templates and blocks
Your theme renders the job board, not a vendor stylesheet
Job listings and job pages are ordinary WordPress templates. They take your theme’s styles by default, any of them can be overridden from your own theme, and the pieces can be placed as blocks wherever the design needs them.
Written for whoever builds the site.
A privately owned main contractor in Leeds is hiring a senior QS to take commercial ownership of a £40m mixed-use scheme through to practical completion, reporting to the commercial director.
- Five years’ post-graduate experience with a main contractor
- Valuations above £5m run without supervision
Works alongside
Whichever builder your site is already built in.
- WordPress block editor
- Elementor

- Divi
- Beaver Builder
The problem it solves
A job board that refuses to look like the site around it
A portal widget arrives with its own markup, its own stylesheet and its own ideas about layout. The result is a page that is recognisably not yours, and a developer spending a week fighting somebody else’s CSS.
A widget on the page
Styling you cannot reach
- Markup you do not control
- A vendor stylesheet competing with your theme
- Layout changes that mean support tickets
- Nothing your editors can place themselves
With W3Bullhorn
WordPress templates, in your theme
- Your theme’s styles by default
- Any template overridden from your own theme
- Blocks your editors can place
- Changes that live in your repository, not in ours
For developers
Override a template the way you already do
Listing, single job and apply templates can each be overridden from your own theme. Overrides live in the theme you build and version, so a client’s job board is part of the site you deliver rather than a black box inside it.
- Listing, single job and apply templates
- Overrides in your own theme, under your own version control
- The same approach on every client site you build
- No iframe and no vendor stylesheet to work around
For editors
Blocks for the pieces, wherever the page needs them
Job lists, search and apply are available as blocks, so a marketing team can put a filtered list of roles on a sector landing page, or a search box on the homepage, without asking a developer to build a new template.
- Job list, search and apply as blocks
- Placed in the editor, on any page
- Styled by your theme, like the rest of the page
Specification

What a developer checks before quoting a build.

|---|---|
| Overrides | Each template can be overridden from your own theme |
| Blocks | Job list, search and apply, placed in the WordPress editor |
| Styling | Your theme’s styles by default; no iframe and no vendor stylesheet to fight |
| Themes | Any well-made WordPress theme, block or classic |
| Where your changes live | In the theme you build and version, not in the plugin |
Boundaries
What this does not do
-
It is not a page builder
The plugin renders job content. Designing the page around it is your theme’s job, and your developer’s.
-
It does not restyle your site
Job pages inherit what your theme already does. A board that looks wrong usually means the theme, not the plugin.
-
It is not a design service
We keep the templates sensible and overridable. Bespoke layouts are built by whoever builds the site.
