Option to update city name

[Mark Earl]

It seems there is no way once a city has been added automatically based on the creation of an event to edit it afterwards. This presents an issue if the wording needs to be changed for City.

Hi Mark,

Thanks for reaching out!

You should be able to edit the city by going to Events > Venues, selecting the venue, and then editing the city from there.

Does that help? Please let me know if you have any more questions!

Thanks,

Jennifer

I thought of this, but there were no events with the city! But it was still in the filter list!

Hi Mark,

Filter Bar uses the cities that are currently set for your venues, and it includes any that are currently set on events, even if the event is in the past. I did a quick test on my end, and updating the city on the venue does update that city option in Filter Bar.

If you have lots of venues, it could be tough to determine which one the city is coming from. A quick way to find out would be to install a plugin like Admin Columns, which will allow you to add the “City” field to your Venues admin view (look for the Edit Columns button that appears after activating the plugin). That should help you quickly find which venue that city is coming from.

Let me know how that works for you!

Thanks,

Jennifer
