Let me show you an easy way to limit a country in location search dropdown and address field auto-suggest.
This mod will work only for WordPress themes ClassiPress v4.1.0+, Vantage v4.2.0+ and JobRoller v1.9.0+, which implement the AppMaps Geo framework by AppThemes. The Google Maps is the only supported AppMaps provider for this mod. Means, it will not work with Bing or MapQuest providers.
AppThemes themes implementing AppMaps framework have option "Region Biasing", which limits the country in location dropdown in soft way. It will suggest locations related to the selected country in the first places, but still, allow the other countries options select at the end of the list.
However, if you want to limit the country in strict way, i.e. do not allow to enter any other countries except selected, you would need to add the following code in your theme JS scripts file.
( function( $ ) { $( document ).on( 'appaddressautocompleteready', func…Dedicated Banner upload field for the Vantage

So, the default layout you can see on the image below.
CP Addons options for each Ad Package, default layoutThere are separated sections for each price package, every section includes a list of add-ons. Packages can have different number of add-ons, depending on Include/ Exclude options. A user will see the full list of packages on the Create Ad page.
