So a custom page template for the "Job applications" page is need right? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/dynamically-populate-job-title-box-on-new-form#post-152518 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 18:28:08 +0000 Rob Harrell 152518@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>No worries. It's because we need to execute a PHP statement to pass the current page title dynamically. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/dynamically-populate-job-title-box-on-new-form#post-152516 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 18:26:12 +0000 robkhoo 152516@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I feel a little stupid for doing that.<br /> I don't have so much experience with making custom page templates as up until now I havent needed them so much. I have 5 custom post types all of which pull the standard archive and single page templates.<br /> To answer your question, no I havent made a custom page template before - In this case, why is a custom template necessary Rob? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/dynamically-populate-job-title-box-on-new-form#post-152514 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 18:18:50 +0000 Rob Harrell 152514@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>You would need to put this link at the the theme level, as part of the page template. Not in the WP page editor. I believe that's what's wrong here. Have you ever made a <a href="http://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-themes/how-to-create-a-custom-page-in-wordpress/" rel="nofollow">custom page template</a> in WP before? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/dynamically-populate-job-title-box-on-new-form#post-152513 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 18:15:29 +0000 robkhoo 152513@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Thanks for the quick response Rob.</p> <p>I have put an example on this page.
