Why a WordPress.com Account Is Needed for WPJobManager.com

WP Job Manager is built and maintained by Automattic, the company behind WordPress.com. To simplify authentication and improve security, we now use WordPress.com Single Sign-On (SSO).

Do I Need a WordPress.com Account?

Yes. To log in to wpjobmanager.com, you must use a WordPress.com account.

  • If you already have a WordPress.com account associated with your email, you can log in right away.
  • If you don’t have one, a new account will be automatically created the first time you log in. Just click the link in the confirmation email to complete the process.

Note: You do not need to create a WordPress site or use any other WordPress.com or Automattic services. Your account is only used for logging in.

Why Is a WordPress.com Account Required?

Using a WordPress.com account:

  • Ensures secure authentication
  • Confirms that you are the owner of the email address
  • Connects your Gravatar profile so your avatar and profile details appear consistently across supported services

Do I Need an Account to Use the Plugin?

No. The core WP Job Manager plugin is free and does not require a WordPress.com account unless:

  • You want to purchase add-ons or plans on wpjobmanager.com
  • You want to manage your purchase history or support access
