 * Hello,
 * I need to make the Location field required when users are submitting a new position
   opening. How can I set this field to be required as well as say *Required in 
   red text next to the “Location” text for the field?
 * Thank you.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fmake-location-mandatory%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)

 * There are three ways to customize the job submission form fields in the WP Job
   Manager core plugin:
 * 1. For simple text changes, using a plugin such as Loco Translate (it can also“
   translate” text into different words in the same language):

 * 2. For field changes, or to add or remove fields, use functions and/or filters
   inside a functionality plugin:

 * [https://css-tricks.com/wordpress-functionality-plugins/](https://css-tricks.com/wordpress-functionality-plugins/)
 * Here’s an example tutorial:

 * 3. Use a third-party plugin such as WP Job Manager Field Editor:
 * [https://plugins.smyl.es/wp-job-manager-field-editor/](https://plugins.smyl.es/wp-job-manager-field-editor/)
 * … which has a nice GUI for editing fields. 🙂
 * Thanks!
