What Is the Loxo WordPress Plugin?

The Loxo WordPress plugin is a commercial WordPress plugin, made by W4dev and sold as LoxoWp, that connects the Loxo.co recruiting ATS to a WordPress website. It syncs job listings from the Loxo API into WordPress as native posts, publishes them as a searchable job board on your own domain, and accepts candidate applications that post back into Loxo. Every job page includes Google for Jobs JobPosting structured data.

In short: recruiters keep working in Loxo, and the website updates itself.

Key facts

  • Name: Loxo (LoxoWp)
  • Made by: W4dev
  • What it connects: the Loxo.co recruiting ATS to WordPress
  • Price: $69 per year for a single site, or $159 per year for up to 5 sites
  • Included in both tiers: every feature, one year of updates, one year of support
  • Requires: WordPress 5.0+, PHP 7.4+, and a Loxo account with an agency slug and API token
  • Current version: 1.9.0
  • Free add-on: Auto-Extend Expiry, which keeps job expiration dates rolling forward for search engines

What it does

  • Syncs jobs automatically from Loxo, using both scheduled API imports and real-time webhooks for creates, updates, and deletions.
  • Publishes a job board with keyword search, category and location filters, pagination, and a dedicated page per role.
  • Outputs Google for Jobs schema as JSON-LD JobPosting markup, plus Open Graph tags, on every single job page.
  • Collects applications on your site through a form that posts into Loxo, with Google reCAPTCHA v3 available for spam protection.
  • Helps search engines find listings via an XML jobs sitemap and optional Google Indexing API pings when jobs change.
  • Tracks performance with per-job view and application counts in the WordPress admin.

Display is handled by seven Gutenberg blocks, with matching shortcodes for page builders and classic themes. Templates can be overridden in your theme, and a REST API under the loxo/v1 namespace controls syncing, webhooks, expiration, and cached data.

How it works

As part of the installation, you enter your Loxo agency slug and API token in the plugin settings. The plugin then imports your open roles in background batches, so even large job lists load without timing out. After that, it can register webhooks with Loxo so new and edited roles reach your site within seconds instead of waiting for the next scheduled sync.

No middleware or external service sits in between. Your WordPress install talks to the Loxo API directly.

Who it is for

Recruiting and staffing agencies that already run their hiring in Loxo.co and want their open roles on their own WordPress site rather than on a hosted portal. It suits teams who care about being found in search, since the SEO features are the main reason to choose it over a simple embed.

It is not a standalone job board. An active Loxo account is required, and Loxo remains the source of truth for every listing. If your jobs live in another ATS, this plugin will not help.
