We just had someone register and fill out the form with California as the state and Afghanistan as the country. We noticed it because we got a message from EE on our dashboard saying, “A new State named California (CA) was dynamically added from an Event Espresso form for the Country of “Afghanistan”. To verify, edit, and/or delete this new State, please go to the Event Espresso – General Settings > Countries Tab and update the States / Provinces section…” Afghanistan has never been shown in the country dropdown, and I confirmed that it shows No next to Country Appears in Dropdown Select Lists in General Settings>Countries. I also went to the live version of the site and was not able to force Afghanistan into the country field. How then did the registrant do that? What can we do to prevent that from happening in the future?

Hi there,
On your registration form the use can select to add another state and select the country it is for here:

Clicking that opens a section like this:

If you don’t want users to have the ability to do that you can remove it by adding this snippet to the site:

You can add that to a custom functions plugin and we have some details on how to create one here:

I used this CSS to hide it instead:
.ee-form-add-new-state-lnk {
display: none;
}

Yeah, you can also do it with CSS, it just means that the elements are still added but then hidden whereas with the above they simply aren’t added at all.
