Remove fields from default event submission form

[Rauno]

Hi! I’m totally new to ECP and I’d need a little help with customising the plugin.

How is it possible to remove certain fields form the default “Add new event” submission form? There are some fields that are not relevant to me, like Postal Code and Country under “Locations”, also some fields under “Organizers” are not needed. How do I remove them?

Also, I’d like to create a front-end submission form – is this achievable with any extra add-ons?

Thank you!

Hey Rauno,

We unfortunately cannot offer any support for customizations.

While it’s true that we don’t support customizations here, in general you can achieve what you describe here by writing custom CSS in your theme, and then having this CSS load in the admin.

Also, I’d like to create a front-end submission form – is this achievable with any extra add-ons?

We have an add-on called “Community Events” that does just this; it adds a front-end submission form for events. Check out its official page on our site for more information! → https://theeventscalendar.com/product/wordpress-community-events/

Ok, thanks. Would it be possible to tell, which file generates the basic Add new event -page in backend?

Thanks!

Hey @Rauno,

If you head into your plugin files for The Events Calendar, you should be able to find the edit-event screen specifically at the following location:


/src/admin-views/events-meta-box.php


I do not recommend editing this file manually, I would recommend writing custom admin-facing CSS and then loading that CSS in the admin with WordPress’ admin_enqueue_scripts hook. You can read more about this hook here → https://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API/Action_Reference/admin_enqueue_scripts

I will close up this thread for now since we do not offer any support for customizations – but open a new thread any time if other questions or concerns arise.

Best of luck with your customizing! 😀
