Developer Integration

The plugin provides hooks for third-party integration:

// Hook triggered after a resume is successfully parsed
add_action('resume_parsed', function($parsed_data) {
    // Your code here
    // $parsed_data contains the structured resume data
});

// Filter to modify parsed data before saving
add_filter('resume_parser_data', function($parsed_data) {
    // Modify $parsed_data as needed
    return $parsed_data;
});

Security

The plugin implements several security measures:

• File type validation
• File size limits
• Nonce verification
• User capability checks
• Sanitization of parsed data
• Secure file storage

Customization

Styling

The plugin's appearance can be customized by adding CSS to your theme or through a custom CSS plugin:

.resume-parser-upload-form {
    /* Your custom styles */
}

File Types

To modify allowed file types, use the filter:

add_filter('resume_parser_allowed_types', function($types) {
    return array('pdf', 'docx', 'doc'); // Add or remove file types
});

Troubleshooting
