How do you remove options from the “Add Entry” screen? I am building a website for a user who will need to ONLY see the information she should enter – always an organization, always public visibility, only work addresses, etc. Other options will be too confusing for her. I saw this question a few years ago in the support forum but I was hoping there was a new solution instead of tweaking the php files.

Will the Form extension do this for external users with a directory listing? If they log in to adjust their existing entry, will just the form appear with their current information? I read through the information but I was confused if it was just for new entries or if it would also work for updating existing entries.

Thank you in advance!

have you tried custom css modifications?

ie ` .address-city {
display: none!important;
}

change .address-city to the class you want to hide.

this post has some info on hiding things on the form as well

Thank you Dominic for responding. I know there are plugin to change how the wordpress dashboard is presented. I do not know of a way to change the actual CSS of the wordpress admin screens – which is where the connections “add entry” is located?

As for the post you linked, it references the Form extension but I still haven’t heard a response as to how the Form extension works with the admin side or the logging in of existing registrants?

Am I missing something?

re: always an organization, always public visibility, only work addresses, etc.

This is possible by using filters. You would add these filters using the Code Snippets plugin.

Here’s a post where I give a snippet required to the Logo, Messenger IDs, Social Media IDs

Here’s a snippet I gave the which changes the default entry type to be only an individual. This can easily be adapted to make the entry type an organization instead.

Here’s a link to a tutorial which contains a snippet to add custom address types. The snippet can be adapted to remove the unneeded types. You can find similar tutorials in the tutorial section in the documentation.

The same snippets will also affect the Form extension.

re; Will the Form extension do this for external users with a directory listing? If they log in to adjust their existing entry, will just the form appear with their current information?

Sorry, I’m not sure what you are asking. When a user logs in and edit their entry, yes, the current details will be displayed in the form so they can change them. Just like the admin when you edit entries.

I hope this answers your questions!

ps. I do offer customization services if you require them.

Thanks, Steven! From your answer, I understand you still have to make the changes to the php code to limit what is seen in the admin screens. I will check out the plugin you recommend.

And I think that helps me with my other question too. I’ll keep in mind the customization offer if I can’t get things to work as I need them.

Have a great day!
