Address line 1 and 2 joining

[Natasha]

Hi, I’ve just imported an event from event brite and noticed address line 1 and 2 have merged.

In Eventbrite they are listed as:
Level 1
1 Smith Street

but it carries across to wordpress as :
Level 11 Smith Street

Howdy Natasha,

I would love to help you figure this out. The truth is we basically just don’t support Address 2 boxes beyond concatenating them to the first address. We should definitely throw a space between them, and i can see a similar problem as you that there is no space. But, we do not have a separate field for Address 2 nor is any other part of our plugin setup to handle one. If you would like a separate field it would need to be a feature request: UserVoice (feature suggestion page for The Events Calendar)

As far as immediate solutions go, could you add a space after Level 1 ? Or perhaps put the full address on one line, and use any separator your prefer to separate the two parts?

Cheers!

Hi Brook, thanks for your reply, I’ve left the event in eventbrite as two lines but the entry it created in wordpress I’ve edited with a space. I definitely think you should drop a space in between as it imports, and I’ll add the two line address as a feature request.

Thanks for your understanding Natasha! I am happy that solution works for now.

I just brought this up today on our scrum. I asked the team if they thought we we should add an address line 2 to our plugin or simply throw a space between the two. Most everyone felt we should throw in the second address line. So that’s good news! Thank you very much for bringing this to our attention. You’d be surprised at how rare it is to use multilines, this was the first instance we had hit.

Cheers!
