    When creating a new venue, is there a way to change the Default Country from “United States” to New Zealand? All our events will be in NZ.

    Also since we don’t have states in New Zealand, can the state field be disabled?

  • Hello

    You can change the Default Country(language) to English(NZ)
    https://your.site/wp-admin/options-general.php
    I’m not sure this setting is affect to you want it.

    And states you can hide.
    But when you update plugin, this code will be overwritten so you have to rewrite every update.

    When you create Venue
    plugins\the-events-calendar\src\admin-views
    create-venue-fields.php

    
<tr class="venue tribe-linked-type-venue-state-province">

    
<tr class="venue tribe-linked-type-venue-state-province" style="display:none;">

    Thanks @genepine,

    I can hide both the Country and State using CSS, but Google maps try’s to find a NZ address in the states.

    Every time we create a new event The Events Calendar defaults to “United States” in the form for new Venues.

    Thanks for your suggestion.

    Hey @andrewuv

    When you go to Events > Venues and edit your venue, do you have a country specified?

    Also see Events > Settings > API > Google Maps API. Is this a default API or a custom API you created?

    https://support.theeventscalendar.com/423317-Troubleshooting-Google-Maps may have other tips too.

    Thanks

    Hi @courane01,

    If I go to Events > Venues and create a new venue, the country field shows “Select a Country”

    If I create a new Event, (using the block editor) I automatically get a block which says “Add or find a venue”.
    When I type in a new venue name (eg New Zealand Parliament Buildings) it says “Create: New Zealand Parliament Buildings”.
    I then get a address block with the country field showing “United States”

    Screenshot: https://ibb.co/27V0ks7

    I would really like the country field to default to my choice which is “New Zealand”.

    The Google maps work fine as long as I put in a valid address. I mentioned Google maps because if I just hide the Country field the address for the New Zealand Parliament Buildings becomes

    New Zealand Parliament Buildings
    Pipitea Street
    Wellington 6160
    United states

    Which is not useful.

    Thanks for your help

    Hi @andrewuv,

    Unfortunately, the default country option is only available for Events Calendar PRO.

    However, it seems like everything on your site is working as expected and that you are able to make things work for now.

    I hope that helps!

    Thanks,
    Jaime

    OK, I understand that you put some features in Pro, but this is discriminating against anyone outside of the US. IT STINKS!
