# Custom Application Status

### Code snippet for customizing the application status <img src="/files/-MXW8KvQZ9G9kHt0WZ6s" alt="" data-size="line">&#x20;

**Important Note:** Once you set a custom status, manipulating these statuses may result in unintended results. For example, you won't be able to access some of the applications. So, please use this with caution.

```php
function awsm_jobs_pro_custom_application_status( $status ) {
	/**
	 * Example: Update an existing status.
	 */
	$status['select'] =  array(
		'label'       => _x( 'Hired', 'post status', 'pro-pack-for-wp-job-openings' ),
		/* translators: %s: posts count */
		'label_count' => _n_noop( 'Hired <span class="count">(%s)</span>', 'Hired <span class="count">(%s)</span>', 'pro-pack-for-wp-job-openings' ),
	);

	/**
	 * Example: Add a new status.
	 */
	$status['interview'] = array(
		'label'       => _x( 'Interview', 'post status', 'pro-pack-for-wp-job-openings' ),
		'label_count' => _n_noop( 'Interview <span class="count">(%s)</span>', 'Interview <span class="count">(%s)</span>', 'pro-pack-for-wp-job-openings' ),
	);
	
	return $status;
}
add_filter( 'awsm_jobs_pro_application_status', 'awsm_jobs_pro_custom_application_status' );
```
