How would I have Australia selected by default and have the input field not displaying heres an example of what im talking about I am using woocommerce:

I'm sure there is a simple function for this or setting in the back end but can't seem to find a solution :(

Answer 1

Paste following code into your function.php file to Remove country field in checkout page:

function custom_override_checkout_fields( $fields )

return $fields;
}
add_filter('woocommerce_checkout_fields','custom_override_checkout_fields');
