Hide unused fields from backend of plugin

[ugapresents]

Hello!

There are a few fields that I am not using to add Events to my website. Is there a way to ‘hide’ or ‘delete’ these fields from the backend?
I have tried CSS but I do not know how to create a CSS file that would overrride the wp-admin or events calendar admin styles.

For example — I do not need the ‘Event Website’ field on the backend when you add an event.

The reason why this is important is because others with limited computer skills will be adding events and will be confused by the field, won’t know what to add, won’t see a URL display anywhere on the front-end, etc. , etc.

I know how to achieve this by editing the admin-views of the plugin, but I don’t want this edit to be wiped anytime I update the plugin.

Hi there,

I think you might run into errors if you try to completely remove some of the fields, so maybe hiding them with CSS would be the best bet in your case.

You can load a custom CSS file in the admin area using the ‘admin_enqueue_scripts’ hook. Here is a blog post that explains how to do it: https://davidwalsh.name/add-custom-css-wordpress-admin

To figure out which CSS selectors to target, you can inspect the elements on the page using your browser tools. If you’re unsure how to create selectors with a higher specificity, just use the !important tag at the end of the style declaration.

Hope that helps! Let us know if you have any further questions.

Thanks,
Sky
