Remove "location" and "web site" under user > preference

As topic description, is it possible to remove “location” and “web site” field under user > preferences?

I am making location a required user field when they sign-up (so having another location field under user > preferences is duplicative).

You can hide the fields using CSS but hiding it would mean that they will be unable to edit those fields easily.

Apologies if this is blindingly obvious, not a strong enough coder myself.

Another way would be to remove the user settings .pref-bio, .pref-location, .pref-website { display: none; } Both are only hidding content, and any user (who know how to) could with the developper tools see the data, but it’s li…

You are going to only be interested in the .pref-location bit.

.pref-location {
    display: none;
