Install

No release zip yet. The repository archive installs, but the folder name will carry the branch suffix and updates will not flow:

wp plugin install https://github.com/martinorton/modern-job-board/archive/refs/heads/main.zip

A feature-rich WordPress job board plugin with employer and candidate dashboards, applications, WooCommerce monetization, REST API, webhooks, and Gutenberg blocks.

Current version: 0.9.0-beta.88 (pre-stable beta — not a production/stable release)

Version source of truth: Version + MJB_VERSION in modern-job-board.php. Keep readme.txt Stable tag and this line in sync with that constant.
