v1.2.0

What's New

Configurable destination post type

Synced LinkedIn jobs can now land in any admin-configurable public custom post type (default job_posting, e.g. career), so sites can reuse an existing CPT instead of the plugin's own. Configure it under LinkedIn Job Sync → Settings → Destination Post Type. Rewrite rules are flushed automatically when the destination changes.

Plugin-owned ACF field names

LinkedIn data is now stored under linkedin_-prefixed ACF field names (linkedin_location, linkedin_url, linkedin_job_id, …) so it never collides with a destination CPT's own native fields. The public location filter URL parameter remains location — only the stored field name changed.

Settings UI revamp

• Single unified Save Settings form replacing the per-section submits
• Searchable multi-select checkbox dropdowns for category & tag mapping
• Parent menu page now redirects to the settings sub-page
• Success notice on save

Bug fixes

• Fixed a CPT registration bug (nested init callback) that caused "invalid post type" errors and orphaned posts. register_post_type() is now called directly; admin UI hooks moved to admin_init so the destination CPT is guaranteed to be registered first.
• The plugin's own job_posting CPT is hidden from the admin menu when it is not the configured destination.

Docs

• Added ADR index to CONTEXT.md (ADR-0001 … ADR-0004). ADR-0004 (configurable destination) amends ADR-0002.

Requirements

• WordPress 6.0+
• PHP 8.0+
• Advanced Custom Fields (ACF) plugin

v1.1.0

What's New

Correctness Fixes

• bulk_mark_expired no longer hides jobs by setting post_status to draft — expired jobs now correctly stay in listings with badge
• bulk_resync now normalizes employment_type to ACF select key (was storing human-readable string, breaking frontend display)
• Sync status values unified to failed throughout (was inconsistent error/failed, causing jobs to be unfilterable)

Spec Compliance

• location field now stored during sync (was always empty despite being registered)
• source_url now populated during sync (was always empty despite being registered)
• All User Story 18 requirements now met (title, description, location, employment type)

Code Quality

• HTTP fetch consolidated — removed duplicate implementation, now uses LinkedInParser's robust version
• LinkedInParser now uses project Logger instead of direct error_log()
• Bulk status operations extracted to shared bulk_set_sync_status() method
• Dead spl_autoload_register removed (was unreachable)
• Logger UI separated into new AdminLogViewer class (single responsibility)
• Form defaults consolidated to single source of truth
• Select-dropdown rendering consolidated to shared render_select_field() helper
• Log-level detection consolidated to shared Logger::get_log_level() method

Bug Fixes

• Fixed fatal error: ->register() called nonexistent method
• Fixed fatal error: send_json_error() → wp_send_json_error()
• Removed duplicate logs submenu registration

Requirements

• WordPress 6.0+
• PHP 8.0+
• ACF plugin
