 * you need custom hooks/filters for this e.g. [http://wordpress.org/support/topic/booking-form-required-fields?replies=13](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/booking-form-required-fields?replies=13)
 * also, you can easily set/unset required fields in booking form using forms editor
   however this is currently available to pro users only – [http://wp-events-plugin.com/documentation/custom-booking-forms/](http://wp-events-plugin.com/documentation/custom-booking-forms/)

 * i think agelonwl confused this with booking forms, not the location form.
 * two ways, the easy way:
 * use css, something like `.em-location-data td > i { display:none; }`
 * harder way
 * override our template which are
 * templates/forms/location/where.php
    templates/forms/event/location.php [http://wp-events-plugin.com/documentation/using-template-files/](http://wp-events-plugin.com/documentation/using-template-files/)

 * Hey Marcus,
 * Congratulations for the plugin. It´s great!!
 * But the solution you provide here does not fit since hiding the field through
   CSS will hide the location from every Event.
 * How can we turn the Address and City fields not required?
 * Thanks

 * Hiya,
 * Marcus suggestion was just a pointer to the kind of CSS you’ll need, not the 
   precise solution.
 * You’ll need to look at the HTML of your site to see exactly which selectors to
   use in your CSS in order to hide it from only the form.
 * Thanks

 * I know that it´s not exactly what he posted, philipjohn! But is there a way to
   create a conditional CSS ?
 * Any CSS applied to hide a field will be applied to every New Event to be added.
   Sometimes I will need to fill this field and sometimes not.
 * That´s why people here are asking just for a solution to put this fields as non-
   required.
 * I cannot post a New Event if I dont have a full Address or the name of the City.
