[Bug] Amenities not loading on front-end + image preview only works for logged-in users (WP Job Manager + Lestin)

Bug Report: WP Job Manager Issues in Lestin Theme

Hello Team,

I’m using the Lestin theme with the WP Job Manager plugin and have noticed two critical issues:

---

1. Amenities not showing on front-end submissions

• When a user submits a listing from the front-end form, the amenities do not display based on the selected category.


• Amenities load correctly when creating or editing a listing from the WordPress dashboard.


• Expected behavior: Amenities should dynamically load on the front-end submission form when a category is selected.

---

2. Image preview only works for logged-in users

• On the front-end submission form, image previews do not show unless the user is logged in.


• For non-logged-in users, only the file name appears on hover, but no actual image preview is visible.


• Once logged in, the preview works as expected.

Summary

• Amenities filtering by category is not working on the front end, only in the dashboard.


• Image previews are restricted to logged-in users, while guests only see filenames.

Both of these are core features for front-end submissions, so resolving them is important for our live project. Could you please investigate and provide a fix?

Thank you for your time and support!

Start by reproducing both front-end submission problems in the WP Job Manager integration with the Lestin theme, comparing guest and logged-in behavior and the dashboard flow. Trace category-based amenity loading and image preview handling, then verify that amenities appear after category selection and previews work for unauthenticated users as well as logged-in users.
