Title: Changing the request form Last modified: August 10, 2017 --- # Changing the request form * [abeljack](https://wordpress.org/support/users/abeljack/) * (@abeljack) * [8 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/changing-the-request-form/) * Hello * I am trying to change the request form so that it doesn’t ask for the – contactAddress1– contactAddress2 – contactCity – contactCity – contactPhonePrimary – contactPhoneSecondary– contactState – contactWebsite – contactZip * I have removed it from the PublicRequest.html so that it doesn’t show on the form and then i have removed the public static function showForm_checkErrors section from the bookaroom-meetings-public.php so that it doesn’t ask for the fields to be filled in. When i click submit on the conformation page it doesn’t show the content it just loads a blank box. * I know this isn’t exactly a normal request but do you have any idea’s ? - This topic was modified 8 years, 9 months ago by [abeljack](https://wordpress.org/support/users/abeljack/).

If you restore the code to the original, do they still work? * Thread Starter [abeljack](https://wordpress.org/support/users/abeljack/) * (@abeljack) * [8 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/changing-the-request-form/#post-9408697) * Yes if i restore the code then they appear, I’ve removed the social button is that mandatory ? * Plugin Author [Cleveland Heights-University Heights Public Library Webdeveloper](https://wordpress.org/support/users/chuhpl/) * (@chuhpl) * [8 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/changing-the-request-form/#post-9408713) * In the version I am testing, this will be something that can be turned off by branch or sitewide. * Plugin Author [Cleveland Heights-University Heights Public Library Webdeveloper](https://wordpress.org/support/users/chuhpl/) * (@chuhpl) * [8 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/changing-the-request-form/#post-9521183) * Can you try the new version. You can turn it off by branch. I’ll be adding in more customization to the message and a site wide option soon. * Thread Starter [abeljack](https://wordpress.org/support/users/abeljack/) * (@abeljack) * [8 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/changing-the-request-form/#post-9527106) * I’ve updated to the new version, is there an option in the settings page to turn it off or do i need to remove some lines of code ? * Plugin Author [Cleveland Heights-University Heights Public Library Webdeveloper](https://wordpress.org/support/users/chuhpl/) * (@chuhpl) * [8 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/changing-the-request-form/#post-9527724) * It’s in the branch settings, by each branch. * [prestonmay3](https://wordpress.org/support/users/prestonmay3/) * (@prestonmay3) * [8 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/changing-the-request-form/#post-9585899) * What would you add to this line to make it not required or what to omit * name=”numAttend” type=”text” id=”numAttend” value=”” size=”3″ maxlength=”3″/> * Plugin Author [Cleveland Heights-University Heights Public Library Webdeveloper](https://wordpress.org/support/users/chuhpl/) * (@chuhpl) * [8 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/changing-the-request-form/#post-9591337) * There is more to it than just that line, and, unfortunately, I don’t have the free time to customize the code individually. That’s just the code on the template to display it, the error checking routines are separate and in another file. Removing things that are required like this will make the form impossible to submit since you pulled a field that is still being checked for.
