Hi,

on hidden link I use a Google map with address field.
I'm not happy with the way how the address is displayd.
How can I remove the country from the address?

Kind regards,
Dido

Hi, I see what you mean, you would like to have more granular control over the address display. This type of customization will require custom code. Once an address field is geocoded by Google Maps, the full address is stored in the database as a single entry. Then it is not easy to parse individual pieces of the saved address, like the country, city name, or postal code. In the past, our developers have decided not to implement feature requests that split the address components - an example here: https://toolset.com/forums/topic/retrieve-part-of-the-address/. I've added your vote for this request, but there's no guarantee they will change their decision.

If you're comfortable with JavaScript, another ticket describes an approach for splitting these components into multiple custom fields when an address is geocoded in wp-admin:
