Address 2 required but not set to required

Please insert the given below code in functions.php file of the active child theme will remove the autofocus on billing first name.

/* WOOCOMMERCE: CHECKOUT: DISABLE AUTOFOCUS ON FIRST NAME */
add_filter( ‘woocommerce_checkout_fields’ , ‘custom_override_checkout_fields’ );

function custom_override_checkout_fields( $fields ) {

$fields[‘billing’][‘billing_first_name’][‘autofocus’] = ‘false’;

return $fields;
}

Thank you for the reply, I really appreciate it. I do have a couple questions still though. I’m not following how removing the autofocus on billing first name is going to impact my address 2 field being required, can you please explain that? Also, are you working on a permanent fix for this so that I can utilize your plugin correctly to select whether or not a field is required? Having to add custom coding just to get functionality to work is not a long term solution I would like to rely on.

As a follow up, I did implement the change you requested, but it did not have any impact on making the Address 2 field not required. Thank you again for the help and please let me know what else I can provide!

Hi,

I wanted to follow up here as this task has been open for a while and I still do not have a way to mark Address 2 as not required. Can you please provide an update on where this is at?

Following up here again, it’s been almost 3 weeks since my last check-in. Can you please provide an update here? This is getting pretty frustrating.

Hi,

I apologize for the delay in replying. The issue you were having was a bug and has been fixed.
Could you please update your current version?

Hope that helps. Have a great day!

Thank you. I was just able to update and this does fix the issue of the 2nd address field being required in order to submit the form. However, the field still displays an * indicating that it is required even after the update. I can correctly check out without filling out the form but I would like to request a fix for the required indication to be removed when the field is not required.

Hi,

That is strange! Our testing team is not able to replicate the issue. Could you please send us temporary admin credentials so that we can have a look at what might be causing the issue? Also, please mention the field that is showing this behavior.

Hopefully was can fix this quickly.

@themehigh I’ve deleted your offer to login to your user’s site. I’m am 100% sure you mean well but please never ask for credentials on these forums.

Now for the why: The internet is a wonderful place full of very nice people and a few very bad ones. I’m sure everyone here is very nice however, by giving some ones keys to your house you are trusting they wont steal anything. Likewise the person who takes the keys is now responsible for the house FOREVER.

If something was to go wrong, then you the author may well legally become liable for damages, which they would not normally have been as their software is provided without warranty.

Please be aware that repeatedly asking for credentials will result in us asking you to repeatedly stop before escalating up to the plugins team.

@ jdembowski Thanks, I appreciate you looking out for everyone here. I have the ability to spin up a multi-dev environment that’s an exact replicate of my live site but isn’t actually live and grant CMS access to that environment, which I am comfortable with giving to ThemeHigh. If that is against the ToS or general practices, however, please let me know and I will not grant credentials to ThemeHigh.

@themehigh I have created a multi-dev replica of my live environment, you can view this issue on the checkout page here: https://themehigh-science-fair-fun.pantheonsite.io/checkout/

Please note you will need to add items to your cart and then go to the checkout page.

@saustinpower I had a look at your dev site and weren’t able to replicate the issue. It threw a validation error only for Address field 1.
Just to be sure, is this the field you are talking about?

@themehigh That is the correct field – I can’t tell for sure but it looks like you don’t have an * above the field. Here’s what I see: https://www.evernote.com/l/AfIfhKetdllEwoKvkUCdkB4JeMRxT_Tdzs0

I’ve tested this on Mac Chrome, Mac Safari, Win7 IE11 (Virtual) and Win 7 Chrome (Actual PC). I know this is not a caching issue, as the Virtual and Win 7 native machines have never been to any version of the site.

When I inspect the element, the required abbr is there in the code as well: https://www.evernote.com/l/AfLQ34nYF4dBb6kImwV5fxoWx9_da38FJ-8
