Hi Cam,

This is something you can change by using the WordPress gettext filter. Basically you can copy and paste a function like this in your WordPress theme’s functions.php file:

function mycustom_filter_gettext( $translated, $original, $domain ) {
 
    // This is an array of original strings
    // and what they should be replaced with
    $strings = array(
        'Events Profile Information' => 'Additional Information',
        'City/Town/Village' => 'City',
        'Please enter your City/Town/Village.' => 'Please enter your City.'
        // You can add some more strings here
    );
 
    // See if the current string is in the $strings array
    // If so, replace it's translation
    if ( isset( $strings[$original] ) ) {
        // This accomplishes the same thing as __()
        // but without running it through the filter again
        $translations = &get_translations_for_domain( $domain );
        $translated = $translations->translate( $strings[$original] );
    }
 
    return $translated;
}
 
add_filter( 'gettext', 'mycustom_filter_gettext', 10, 3 );

Hi Cam,

You can modify all this at will by using the WordPress remove_action and add_actions. I put up a gist that outlines exactly how to remove the country field and add an additional CSS class for styling the form template. You can copy/paste this into your theme’s functions.php file. It adds some sanitization to the input fields too.
