Last updated on 2025-11-18 and confirmed compatible with WordPress 6.8.5, which is a strong recent signal for an older plugin.

User Rating

9/15

A 60 out of 100 average from only 10 ratings leaves user satisfaction under-tested and slightly below average.

Support Health

8/15

Zero support threads opened and zero resolved means there is no public track record of how the author handles bugs or questions.

WP Compatibility

11/15

Rated 75 out of 100 and tested against the latest WordPress release, though the minimum requirement of 4.7.0 is unusually old.

What It Does

This plugin adds a predefined regions dropdown to the WP Job Manager submission form, replacing the free-text location field. Listings submitted through the front end are then limited to a curated set of regions that the site administrator controls.

Who It's For

It is best for small to mid-sized job boards that want consistent, standardized location data on every listing, such as franchise hiring sites, local government portals, or single-state recruitment agencies. Sites with overlapping city names or ambiguous geography will benefit most from forcing submitters to pick from a fixed list.

Who Should Skip It

If your board spans many countries or you want submitters to type any city or region freely, this plugin will be too restrictive. Anyone not already using WP Job Manager as their core job board plugin also has no reason to install it.

The Bottom Line

At a 67.29 quality score, Regions for WP Job Manager is a narrow utility that does one job and does it recently maintained, but the 60 rating and absent support history mean you are betting on the developer rather than a proven community. Use it if you already run WP Job Manager and need standardized regions; otherwise one of the higher-scoring alternatives is a safer bet.

Pick this instead if you want a full recruitment suite with a career page builder, application tracking, and far more installs behind it.

Simple Job Board 80/100

Pick this instead if you want an entirely standalone job board plugin that does not depend on WP Job Manager being installed.

WP Job Portal – AI-Powered Recruitment System for Company or Job Board website 78/100

Pick this instead if you want built-in AI features, employer dashboards, and a more complete applicant tracking workflow.

easy.jobs – AI powered Job Listing, Job Board, Career Page, Recruitment & Hiring Solution 78/100

Pick this instead if you want AI-assisted job postings and a modern applicant management interface out of the box.

Job Manager & Career – Manage job board listings, and recruitments 76/100

Pick this instead if you want a lighter, all-in-one job and career page plugin without needing WP Job Manager as a base.
