Thank you for your replies
I finally got a function to work that worked, with some help from Stackflow

add_filter( ‘woocommerce_form_field_country’, ‘filter_form_field_country’, 10, 4 );
function filter_form_field_country( $field, $key, $args, $value ) {
// Only in checkout page for “billing” country field
if ( is_checkout() && ‘billing_country’ === $key ) {
$search = esc_html__( ‘Select a country / region…’, ‘woocommerce’ ); // String to search
$replace = esc_html__( ‘Select one option’, ‘woocommerce’ ); // Replacement string
$field = str_replace( $search, $replace, $field );
}
return $field;
}

Thanks again I tried the function solution before from suggestions on that link using:-

// Hook in
add_filter( ‘woocommerce_checkout_fields’ , ‘custom_override_checkout_fields’ );

// Our hooked in function – $fields is passed via the filter!
function custom_override_checkout_fields( $fields ) {
$fields[‘country’][‘billing_country’][‘placeholder’] = ‘My new placeholder’;

return $fields;
}

But couldn’t get it to work – maybe because the default display is not a placeholder but the zero item in an array of countries?
Would be the best option if could get to work as save remembering to manually update ??

Thanks I’ll check it out

Just to add to be ultra clear – currently says ‘Select country/region…’need to change to just ‘Select’

OK ta

Ah sorry didn’t realise this was for local installations searched and this came up
Anybody know where the answer might be

This is a live site

Hi I am getting the same when trying to upload a new image and when trying to install a new plugin from my desktop.

But the plugin installed fine from the WP server?

Folders are set to 755

Thanks for this aeternal – looks very like darkleech from the article

Tried sucuri scanning and seems OK – but need to see what happens when offline for a bit

Well done an full scan as suggested

Found a file that looked OK in the theme being used that I removed and a couple of files that were created by Duplicator in wp-snapshot folder that I removed.

Then rescanned and got a clean bill of health

we will see.

Any other steps apart from the huge list above ??

Yes installed Wordfence – free edition – currently giving all clear

Just had to clear the code again ??

Any other suggestions re scanners

Dear Tara

Thanks for the reply, I have the site back ??
Went to the nav-menu.php, downloaded – scanned the the sites file with a clean install file using Visual Differ and found the offending code – deleted it and the site came back

Went and installed Wordfence and scanned the system – and found as suspected the site had been hacked.

Cleaning the files now may have got in via xyznewsletter.

thanks for your help

Hi Vinod

Thanks for this – funnily enough I thought the placeholder might be PHONE and tried that. Just need to get the client to test it?

The client is not actually using a paid for version of this – I mixed it up with another plugin they have ??

by the way using paid for version and WP 4.1
