 * On the “Edit Event” page, in the “Where” block, there are standard fields for
   Address, City/Town, State/County, Postcode, Region & Country.
 * I can fill in all of those OK, except Postcode and Region. Region doesn’t really
   matter, because I don’t think I need it anyway, but any entry I make to Postcode
   or Region disappears when I click the WordPress Update button.
 * With or without the Postcode, the correct location is being indicated on the 
   map.
 * Is there any chance that the Postcode field is programmed to only accept a specific
   format? I’m in Australia where we use four digit postcodes, but I tried a US 
   five digit code with the same result. If it is a restricted format, how can I
   put the user back in charge of their own postcode entry without interference 
   from code?

 * When you try to edit/add an event, you can only create locations or choose a 
   new one, you can’t edit them. For that you need to edit them directly. Could 
   it be that?
 * You could program this postcode validation with PHP but, EM won’t do this out
   the box.

 * Ah-ha! OK, so I needed to edit the Location entry in the database, not a field
   in the Event itself. That makes sense when you think about it. Done and fixed!
 * I don’t really want postcode validation. I’m happy to let the Event Promoter 
   take responsibility for getting it right.
 * Thanks Marcus.
