Partial UK Postcode

    Hello,

    I just installed the plugin and it works great. Awesome!

    However, I need it to check only the first part of an entered UK postcode i.e W1 or NW10. Can the postcode verification be changed to check only the first 3 or 4 characters only?

    Thank you

    Hiya

    The plugin does that as a matter of course, just enter W1 NW10 etc

    Hi Paul,

    I can’t make the plugin work with just NW10. It asks for the full postcode.

    I get this response:

    Please enter your full postcode.

    The Zip Code NW10 Is Not In The Correct Format. Please Try Again.

    Any ideas how can I do this?

    Thanks

    This is what I have put in the settings: https://prnt.sc/dRMaR_IEDLrO

    Is there anything I have missed or entered incorrectly?

    Hi Paul and/or keenflame,

    Re. Partial UK postcode check

    – I too would like to be able to allow my customers to search purely on the first part of their (UK / London) postcode, but I cannot get that to work (e.g. NW1 NW2 NW10 etc.). If it were possible it would be much appreciated. Or maybe if a wildcard could be used? NW2* NW10* ?

    Hiya,

    Pr2 5** is a Fulwood postcode.

    Pr25 6** is a Leyland postcode

    How do you distinguish between each postcode. One is 6 digit, one is a seven digit. Unless a customer enters the full postcode its guesswork. A lot of false positives generated.

    Regards Paul.

    P.S. if you can think of the logic to get around this problem let me know.

    Hiya,

    Try the plugin My Data Redirect. You will find it on this site. That will do the job you want.

    Regards Paul.
