How to Create Additional Schemes for the Address Field

Introduction

Would you like to create additional schemes for the Address field? WPForms offers the US and International but you can easily create more. This tutorial will show you how to use PHP to add additional address field layouts.

The Address field provides two different address schemes to choose from, US and International. Additional formats can be made available with a filter.

Adding the snippet

To begin, you’ll need to add either one of the example code snippets below (or create your own) to your site. The snippets below demonstrate how you can create new schemes for other countries, such as Canada or Australia.

If you need any assistance in how to add snippets to your site, please review this tutorial.

Canada

/**
 * WPForms Add new address field scheme (Canada)
 *
 * @link   https://wpforms.com/developers/create-additional-schemes-for-the-address-field/
 */

function wpf_dev_new_address_scheme( $schemes ) {

    $schemes[ 'canada' ] = array(
        'label' => 'Canada',
        'address1_label' => 'Address Line 1',
        'address2_label' => 'Address Line 2',
        'city_label' => 'City',
        'postal_label' => 'Code Postal',
        'state_label' => 'Province',
        'states' => array(
            'BC' => 'British Columbia',
            'ON' => 'Ontario',
            'QC' => 'Quebec',
            'AB' => 'Alberta',

            ),
    );

    return $schemes;

}

add_filter( 'wpforms_address_schemes', 'wpf_dev_new_address_scheme', 10, 1);

Australia

/**
 * WPForms Add new address field scheme (Australia)
 *
 * @link   https://wpforms.com/developers/create-additional-schemes-for-the-address-field/
 */

function wpf_dev_new_address_scheme( $schemes ) {

	$schemes[ 'australia' ] = array(
            'label'          => 'Australia',
            'address1_label' => 'Address Line 1',
            'address2_label' => 'Address Line 2',
            'city_label'     => 'City',
            'postal_label'   => 'Postal',
            'state_label'    => 'State / Territory',
            'states'         => array(
                'NSW' => 'New South Wales',
                'VIC' => 'Victoria',
                'QLD' => 'Queensland',
                'WA'  => 'Western Australia',
                'SA'  => 'South Australia',
		'TAS' => 'Tasmania',
		'ACT' => 'Australia Capital Territory',
		'NT'  => 'Northern Territory',
        ),
    );

    return $schemes;

}

add_filter( 'wpforms_address_schemes', 'wpf_dev_new_address_scheme', 10, 1 );

Using the new Address scheme

Once the snippet is added, you can create a new form and add an Address field to the form.

Once you’ve added the Address form field, you’ll be able to select your new address scheme from the Scheme dropdown.

you can now select the additional schemes for the address field from the Schemes dropdown on the Address form field.

With either (or both) of the snippets above, you’ve now added new additional address schemes. Would you like to learn how to sublabels on the address field? Try out our article on How to Change the Address Field Sublabels.
