    Hi,

    I used this code in the functions.php file of my childtheme but I do not see any change. My goal: Change the placeholdr text of 1 field only (in dutch) Bedrijfsnaam (= companyname). I followed the docs on Woocommerce but I do not see any change on my checkout page. Am I using the ocrrect parameters?

    Thank you for your help.

    //Change fields checkoutpage
    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[‘company’][‘placeholder’] = ‘My new placeholder’;
    return $fields;
    }

  • Hello @richard_vermeer ,

    I can see the issue with the code. Here is the working code to override/add a placeholder for the company field –

    //Change fields checkoutpage
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 ) {
	$fields['billing']['billing_company']['placeholder'] = 'New placeholder';
	//$fields['shipping']['shipping_company']['placeholder'] = 'New placeholder';
return $fields;
}

    You can see the other available fields for overriding here – https://docs.woocommerce.com/document/tutorial-customising-checkout-fields-using-actions-and-filters/#section-2

    Thank you ??

    Hi Rashed,

    Thank you very much for your help. I added the code in the functions.php file, but there is no change in the placeholder text for the company (I deleted all cookies and checked in Chrome and Firefox). The placeholder text is also in dutch on the website, could it be that something is overwriting the English placeholder text?

    Regards,

    Richard
