 * The address field is not required in Mailchimp, however is required in Mailchimp
   for WordPress, meaning that if I add any address field, all are marked with a
   red asterisk meaning they are now required. If any address field (such as country)
   is added to the page, all the address fields become “required.” Is there a way
   to allow for optional or toggle-able address fields?
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Faddress-fields-always-required%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Hi,
 * We decided to do it this way because MailChimp will only accept the address if
   all fields are filled, not if for example you only fill the city.
 * We suggest to use normal text fields instead.
 * Hope that helps!
 * Kind regards,

 * Alright, thanks for the fast reply!
 * For reference, are there any particular benefits to using an Address field in
   mailchimp over a collection of text fields?

 * Not if you ask me. Just downsides.
