change the default country not working

Hi @ashan-rupasinghe,

Where did you add the code? I just copied that snippet directly and placed it into my functions.php file and my forms now default to the U.K. so I don’t think there’s an issue with the code. Can you explain how you applied it?

Thank you,
Kevin.

I did that in same way.
I am building multi language site with WPML.

Is there way to get a support?

How are you detecting the user’s country? Perhaps the value you’re getting as the user’s country doesn’t lineup with the values we’re expecting in the dropdown.

If I assigned a country directly
like here, nothing happened.

function yikes_mailchimp_set_default_country_in_dropdown( $country_abbrev ) {
	$country_abbrev = 'GB';
	return $country_abbrev;
}
add_filter( 'yikes-mailchimp-default-country-value', 'yikes_mailchimp_set_default_country_in_dropdown' );

Hm. Are you sure this code is executing? And can you send me the URL of your form so I can check it out?

Hi @ashan-rupasinghe,

We haven’t heard back from you in awhile so I am going to close out this ticket.

If you need more help, please reopen it and we will be happy to help you.

Thank you!

Hi,
Thank you very much for your support.
Unfortunately I cant share the link with you.
But I fixed the issue with a custom jQuery function.
