Probably a long way around, but for the time been i fixed. i gave each its own data attibute with country code using the custom override in theme file. Then targeted using css to hide.
.select-items div[data-value=”AX”] {
display: none;
}
Please ignore the additional country. I am an idiot. Under “Woocommerce -> Settings -> General ->store address”
the country was changed to vietnam by one of the developers and i did not know. sigh.
all good. fixed that part.
Is there a way to exclude “other countries”?
