Thread: Can I hide the Street, City, Country fields from the 'post a new ad' form?

Can I hide the Street, City, Country fields from the 'post a new ad' form?

There appear to be several threads asking this question in forums other than "Pre-Sales," but since I am not yet an AppThemes customer, I cannot view any of the replies and do not know the answer.

I would like to configure my (future) ClassiPress site such that, when a seller is creating a new ad, he is not presented with fields in which he is told to enter his "Street", "City", "State", or "Country".

Is such a configuration possible via ClassiPress' built-in settings? I couldn't tell from the demo Administrator site because, as it states, changes I make there are not saved.

I don't want sellers to have to enter their addresses. I do plan to disable the Google Map feature on my site.

As a SECOND question:

Will the ClassiPress built-in settings allow for the Street, City, State, and Country fields to be OPTIONAL (i.e. still displayed, but not required to be filled in)?

The theme doesn't work in the way you describe, i.e. yes you can remove the location fields, however this will have an effect on the Google Maps functionality.

So by default, basically your customers need to complete the details in order to have the map work correctly. It would require customization of the theme in order for it to work any other way.

No, there are also no built in settings which hide the fields as you describe in your second question. This would also involve customization on your part.
