Want US Currency but different venue country

Hi I want to be able to have the currency in USD but sometimes my venues are in different countries. How can I set that up? Because now for the venue address its forcing me to choose a State but the venue is in a country that only has cities (no states). The result is the text “unknown unknown” under the venue address.

Hi Ricki,

You can set it up so that the display of the addresses follow specific formats for each country by following these steps:

1) You go to Event Espresso > General Settings > Countries
2) Select the country of the venue location, in this case Israel
3) Set Country Appears in Dropdown Select Lists to Yes and save
4) Go to edit the venue and select Israel for the Country, then save
5) You add the following snippet of code to your site:

//* Change formatting for the venue address to show street address and city only
function ee_change_venue_address_format( $address_formats ) {
    $address_formats['IL'] = "{address}%{address2}%{city}";
    // add more formats if you'd like
    return $address_formats;
}
add_filter( 'FHEE__EE_MultiLine_Address_Formatter__address_formats', 'ee_change_venue_address_format', 10, 1 );
add_filter( 'FHEE__EE_Inline_Address_Formatter__address_formats', 'ee_change_venue_address_format', 10, 1 );

You can add the above to a functions plugin or into your WordPress theme’s functions.php file.

Hi thanks but
– I want currency to always be US Dollars (therefore I set the general settings > country to USA).
– Sometimes my venue is in the USA and sometimes its in Israel
(so currently because I have my country set to USA it doesnt allow me to use an Israel address for a venue??)

Hi Ricki,

It turns out when you select a different country to edit in the Countries tab, it does not change your currency or your ability to select other countries for venue.

The setting that actually sets your Country currency is the Country field under Your Organization.

Ok so I set my organization coutry to USA and my Event Espresso > General Settings > Countries to Israel – but when I try to create a venue – it doesnt let me create a venue with an Israel address, it only gives me USA and Canada as options for countries? Also it forces me to choose a state??

When you enabled Israel in Event Espresso > General Settings > Countries, did you enable the button for dropdowns lists?
