I am using a shortcode for the form on this page:
http://creativenicolebeta.com/nhicollege/alumni

I also have a link to submit an entry on this page: http://creativenicolebeta.com/nhicollege/directory

I love the plugin and the form…working awesome, but we really don’t need all of the extra fields around the name. We don’t use them in the display so it doesn’t make any sense to ask people for them. I’d like to keep everything on the first line and title is ok, but I really want to remove organization and department. I tried putting them in the shortcode but I don’t think they are supported. Any ideas??

Add the following CSS to the theme’s custom CSS area:
```
div#cn-metabox-section-organization,
div#cn-metabox-section-department {
  display: none;
}
```
That’ll do it. Hope this helps!

Thank you! I had to add !important to it but then it worked!

I don’t want to remove the fields from displaying, but rather change the Titles of those fields.

For example:
Title > Leads Group
Organization > Company Name
Department > Industry

Hi – I just got your program yesterday and loving it. I’m also trying to eliminate extra fields on the form. I just want to capture and show city and country – how can i remove address line 1, 2, 3 and longitude & latitude….

Thanks

Thanks!

The only way to hide those fields is to use CSS. Add the follow to the theme’s custom CSS area:
```
#cn-form .address-local, 
#cn-form .address-geo, 
#cn-form .address-state, 
#cn-form .address-zipcode, 
#cn-form a.geocode.button {
  display: none !important;
}
```
Hope that helps!
