Default Country

Written by barb on January 10, 2019. Posted in Blog

Wanting to help out U.S. based users of The Events Calendar, I tracked down a place to set the default country.

wp-content/plugins/the-events-calendar/src/Tribe/Default_Values.php

I changed this:

public function country() {
    return array( '','');
}

to this:

public function country() {
    return array( '','United States');
}

United States is preselected, and a selection of states is generated. All other countries are still available, should they be needed.

It appears other defaults could be set as well, but I didn’t try it.

This file will need to be re-modified when updates are applied, as it is not in a location that can be accomplished with a template override.
