Remove region field?

    Trying to trim the fields to make the location form as streamlined as possible for users but can’t figure a way to remove the “Region” field.

    Under settings>custom fields>address>show advanced

    There are options to show/hide zip code, latitude/longitude. But seemingly no way to remove region, and it’s always required. Also don’t see a way to customize the description, so it’s unclear to users what is expected and that reduces likelihood of someone filling out an entry. Is there a way to change this? Thanks.

    Hi @mineloper,

    Region is a required field, this helps with much of our geolocation functionality. In most cases when the user moved the map or sets part of the address and then sets the address on the map, it should be auto filled.

    If you wish to change the text you can do this via translation files, there are also many plugns that can help change texts without having to uplaod translation files. If you need help with this just ask 🙂

    Thanks,

    Thank you for the explanation. If the field is going to auto populate, could it just be hidden from the UI?

    In theory, however if the user enters the address manaully and never moves the map or clicks the button then there would be a hidden error preventing submission, but i guess you would have that as the GPS would be empty too. You could give it a try with CSS if you wanted.

    Thanks,
