 * Hello! I was wondering what the filters are / how to use them, so I can customize
   the text-boxes that appear with the address input in VFB.
 * Is there a way to make it only require ONE address ? Or must I remove the input
   boxes through a filter ? If I have to use filters, what is the filter to use 
   to restrict it to just the one Business name / address. Also, how do I use the
   filters ? Where do I put the filters ?
 * Thanks in advance,
 * Sincerely,
 * Chris.

 * Hey Chris,
 * Good question. A filter is basically a way to insert or change the output of 
   something in WordPress. You can use them by either creating a plugin or inserting
   some code into your theme’s functions.php file. The easiest way is the functions.
   php method.
 * A little PHP knowledge is helpful when using them, but not always required.
 * For changing the address field, you can use the [vfb_address_labels](http://vfbpro.com/hooks/vfb_address_labels/)
   filter. If you just want to remove the second address line, you can copy and 
   paste the example code into your theme’s functions.php file and be done.
 * Hope that sheds some light!

 * I certainly have a little PHP knowledge, so I can probably make this work. Thanks
   for the reply Matthew, good support goes a long way for me.
 * I will definitely try to put the filters in my functions.php file, and see if
   I can’t trim down on the amount of address info required.
 * Thanks 🙂
 * The page I’m trying to get this to work on is : [http://www.korgcanada.com/korg-kollege](http://www.korgcanada.com/korg-kollege)
 * Was hoping maybe you could take a look at it (the form in question is by default
   hidden by a collapsing panel, click it to reveal) Could you let me know if the
   current text boxes under “ship-to address” is normal ? I’m confused as to why
   it requires so many by default, and not just the one address. Perhaps you can
   shed some light on this.
 * Also, as a side note, might you know why the email I set the “send to” setting
   to would NOT be getting the output email from the form ? I tried placing my own
   email in there, and had no trouble receiving the email, but my colleague who 
   it’s supposed to be sent to, is not getting anything.
 * Thanks in advance,
 * Sincerely,
 * Chris.

 * The Address field includes the most common elements for an address. You can certainly“
   build” your own using standard text fields and changing the field layout to mirror
   the address field. But, the address field will collect everything into a single
   set and display it as one field, rather than multiple fields.
 * As for email problems, check the FAQ. There’s some helpful troubleshooting tips
   in there.
