Country dropdown list
If you would like to change the countries that are included in the Country dropdown, insert the following code in the 'Code Snippets' plugin or a child theme’s functions.php file:
add_filter( 'frm_countries', 'change_countries');
function change_countries( $countries ){
$countries = array('Ireland', 'England');
return $countries;
}
Replace 'Ireland' and 'England' with the countries you would like to include.
