Title: Partial UK Postcode Last modified: July 24, 2024 --- # Partial UK Postcode * Resolved [keenflame](https://wordpress.org/support/users/keenflame/) * (@keenflame) * [1 year, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/partial-uk-postcode/) * Hello, * I just installed the plugin and it works great. Awesome! However, I need it to check only the first part of an entered UK postcode i.e W1 or NW10. Can the postcode verification be changed to check only the first 3 or 4 characters only?Thank you Viewing 10 replies - 1 through 10 (of 10 total) * Plugin Author [Paul Glover](https://wordpress.org/support/users/paulio21/) * (@paulio21) * [1 year, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/partial-uk-postcode/#post-17914667) * Hiya * The plugin does that as a matter of course, just enter W1 NW10 etc * Regards Paul * Thread Starter [keenflame](https://wordpress.org/support/users/keenflame/) * (@keenflame) * [1 year, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/partial-uk-postcode/#post-17943434) * Hi Paul, I can’t make the plugin work with just NW10. It asks for the full postcode. * I get this response: * Please enter your full postcode. * The Zip Code NW10 Is Not In The Correct Format. Please Try Again. Any ideas how can I do this?Thanks * Plugin Author [Paul Glover](https://wordpress.org/support/users/paulio21/) * (@paulio21) * [1 year, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/partial-uk-postcode/#post-17943575) * Make sure you have entered the data correctly Regards Paul - This reply was modified 1 year, 9 months ago by [Paul Glover](https://wordpress.org/support/users/paulio21/). * Thread Starter [keenflame](https://wordpress.org/support/users/keenflame/) * (@keenflame) * [1 year, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/partial-uk-postcode/#post-17943711) * This is what I have put in the settings: [https://prnt.sc/dRMaR_IEDLrO](https://prnt.sc/dRMaR_IEDLrO) Is there anything I have missed or entered incorrectly? - This reply was modified 1 year, 9 months ago by [keenflame](https://wordpress.org/support/users/keenflame/). * Plugin Author [Paul Glover](https://wordpress.org/support/users/paulio21/) * (@paulio21) * [1 year, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/partial-uk-postcode/#post-17944731) * Which website are is it installed on and what is the full postcode you are entering in the input box Regards Paul * Thread Starter [keenflame](https://wordpress.org/support/users/keenflame/) * (@keenflame) * [1 year, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/partial-uk-postcode/#post-17957737) * Hi Paul, * Would it be too much of an ask to email me at [_removed by moderator]_?

Partial UK postcode check * – I too would like to be able to allow my customers to search purely on the first part of their (UK / London) postcode, but I cannot get that to work (e.g. NW1 NW2 NW10 etc.). If it were possible it would be much appreciated. Or maybe if a wildcard could be used? NW2* NW10* ? * Plugin Author [Paul Glover](https://wordpress.org/support/users/paulio21/) * (@paulio21) * [1 year, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/partial-uk-postcode/#post-18172857) * Hiya E-mail me through the contact facility in the plugin and I will guide you through the process * Regards Paul * Plugin Author [Paul Glover](https://wordpress.org/support/users/paulio21/) * (@paulio21) * [1 year, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/partial-uk-postcode/#post-18176764) * Hiya, * Pr2 5** is a Fulwood postcode. * Pr25 6** is a Leyland postcode * How do you distinguish between each postcode. One is 6 digit, one is a seven digit. Unless a customer enters the full postcode its guesswork. A lot of false positives generated. * Regards Paul. * P.S. if you can think of the logic to get around this problem let me know. * Plugin Author [Paul Glover](https://wordpress.org/support/users/paulio21/) * (@paulio21) * [1 year, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/partial-uk-postcode/#post-18177889) * Hiya, * Try the plugin My Data Redirect. You will find it on this site. That will do the job you want. * Regards Paul. - This reply was modified 1 year, 5 months ago by [Paul Glover](https://wordpress.org/support/users/paulio21/).
