- Upon successful submission of a job to the site, a unique job token is provided to the job poster. We emphatically implore job posters (multiple times) to make note of the job token. The token can be used on our Remove Job page to immediately close the job.
- If you don’t have the job token, you can contact us to request closure of the job. You must submit your request from an email address you provided via the job submission form. It would also be helpful if you reference the job by link and/or title, especially if you have more than one job in the system. Note: Requests made via the contact page could takes as much as 72 hours or longer to fulfill.

- At this time, all job postings must be in English.
- Only actual jobs can be posted to the job board.
- The job board is for WordPress jobs only.
- Jobs must offer monetary compensation in exchange for work. Non-monetary compensation (exposure, trade, charity, etc) are not acceptable except in the case of verifiable non-profit organizations who clearly state their non-profit status and the fact that their job or project is not offering compensation.
- Your job posting must have adequate information about the listing, including contact information. One or two sentences are not sufficient to explain the job or project.
- For full and part time jobs, please include as many details about the position, including what exactly the applicant will be doing, what salary/hourly range you are expecting to pay, and what skills you require from applicants.
- For projects, please be as specific as possible about the nature of your project as well as your budget. Pro bono projects for non-profits are allowed, but be up front about this in your job posting.
- Products and businesses listed on this job board must not infringe on the WordPress trademark. (See the WordPress trademark policy.)
- Job posting will not be published for sites which:
- Promote discrimination of any kind or hate speech
- Promote illegal activity – as defined by the laws of the United States
- Primarily host adult content or merchandise (e.g. pornography)
- If your job posting involves a project that will be released publicly, it must embrace the same license as WordPress. If distributing WordPress-derivative works (themes, plugins, WP distros), any person or business should give their users the same freedoms that WordPress itself provides. Projects must be 100% GPL or compatibly licensed.
