Venue State as Drop-down

[tadpole]

Currently, there is no validation for state on the front-end (or admin) form when you add a venue. This means users can submit states in any format (e.g. TX, Texas, Tex-ass) and that is how it appears in the search drop-down.

Is there a way to use a drop-down list of states instead of a text field?

Hi Dana,

You can edit the template event-organiser-fes/templates/elements/eo-event-form-event-venue.php to use a dropdown rather than free input. (You should copy it to your theme first).

Thanks, yes, I edited the form. This is what I did specifically

<code >

  $state_arr = array(
