Make get_countries() public

[drzraf]

Details

• WordPress version: 5.5
• ACF version: 5.9

Bug summary

I used to relied on acf_country_helpers::get_countries() as a very handy helper when it come to create custom select for the frontend. But it seems you made it private now. I don't see strong reason for that. Would you please mind reconsidering that choice and providing a tagged fixed release

Steps to reproduce

// create our custom select
$countries = acf_country_helpers::get_countries();

@drzraf You can try the future release of ACF Country here in the 3.x branch:

I made get_countries public. Use it like so:

acf()->fields->get_field_type('country')->get_countries()
