Usage

Shortcodes

[ghana_regions group="main"]
[ghana_districts group="main"]

Available attributes:

Example with custom attributes:

[ghana_regions id="billing-region" class="my-select" group="billing"]
[ghana_districts id="billing-district" class="my-select" group="billing"]

Contact Form 7

Two new tag buttons appear in the CF7 form builder: Ghana Region and Ghana District.

Click each button, set a matching Group value in the tag generator, and insert the tags into your form.

Example CF7 form tags:

[ghana_region group:group1]
[ghana_district group:group1]

Both required-field variants are supported:

[ghana_region* group:group1]
[ghana_district* group:group1]

CF7 validation is built in — required fields will show an error if left blank on submission.
