Remove Event Description from the event submission form.

[Paul Browne]

Hi there,

How do I properly remove Event Description field from the event submission form. What I have done is that I have removed the code for the description field in the particular file (edit-event.php). However, during a test run when I clicked on the submit button, an error occurred which said: “Event Description is required”. I have removed the code for the description, but it’s still demanding to enter the description. Can you please help me with that?

Here’s the link to the website: https://quicktraining.ie/courses/community/add (Please note that I have changed the word “event” with “course”).

Thanks,
Paul

Hi Paul,

The event description is required by default, but you can change this by adding the snippet in this post to the functions.php file of your child theme. This will set only the event title to required. If you would like to require additional fields, you can include them in this snippet – see this article for more info on how this works.

Thanks,

Jennifer

No problem! Just let me know if there is anything else that I can help with.
