Woocommerce Reactivate “Send to a different address” in checkout

  • Hello,

    Some time ago I deactivated the checkbox that was at the end of my checkout form that said “Send to a different Address”. I thought it was confusing fot the clients, but it turns out it is more confusing when they do not write the shipping details.

    Now on my store they can only enter the “Billing details” and not the “Shipping details”. I want activate that checkbox that said “Send to a different address” and I don’t know how, because I don’t remember how I removed it.

    Can anybody help me with that?

    Thanks

  • Hey @juanleal,

    WooCommerce offers settings to disable that under WooCommerce > Settings > Shipping > Shipping Options. When choosing ‘Force shipping to the customer billing address’, the toggle to use an alternate shipping address will not appear.

    Is this the method you used to disable it, or did you use a plugin or a code snippet?

    Cheers,
    Ian

    Hello Ian!!

    No, I did not use that method, since I am checking it and it is now set in “By Default send to Client’s Billing Address”. The option you mention is not selected.

    I might have used a plugin or a code snippet, but I have gone over all of my functions.php file and I couldn’t find a snippet related to that. Neither I could find any plugin related to that.

    It is burning my head. Any other method or recommendation?

    Thanks Ian

    I’d run a search for woocommerce_checkout_fields, to see if you have code filtering them directly, then. You could also be using the woocommerce_cart_needs_shipping_address filter to disable them.

    And if all else fails, I’d start searching for field filters as referenced here: https://docs.woocommerce.com/document/tutorial-customising-checkout-fields-using-actions-and-filters/

    Check you didn’t hide it with custom CSS … a “friend” has done that before and wasted hours looking for a setting ??

    @ianmisner Where should I look for those filters? On my functions.php file? Or where? Because I have looked all over my functions.php file and couldn’t find anything strange.

    I may have modifieda the code somewhere else, maybe in the template form of the checkout?

    Thanks for being in touch.

    @cebuss I might have touched CSS. But in the “Customize” section of the checkout page I am not finding it. Any other place where CSS might be kept hidden?

    Thanks

    @juanleal Depends what plugins you use, for example, I actually use the Code Snippets plugin for custom CSS now (and code) … being new to WP I didn’t realise the customizer was theme based originally and this seems to be a more robust way of having custom code and CSS changes that isn’t tied to a theme/child theme.

    Do you perhaps use a similar plugin or perhaps created your own template tweaks?

    As a quick check, inspect the page and have a look where it should be you’ll see if it has been hidden. Screenshot of a quick example to illustrate what I mean.

    Hey @cebuss!

    Think you might be on the right path. I inspected the page and look what I found out.

    Take a look at this images and at the descriptions.

    It is like the dimensions of the elements where wrong. But when I corrected them the fields are not visible yet.

    Any clue?

    Thanks!

    Hi @juanleal, there appears to be a chunk of code missing from your site (tracked it down to have a look).

    As mentioned, I’m new to WordPress and have only had a glance at WooCommerce but from hunting around just now I’m thinking perhaps you/someone in your team maybe used a plugin to remove that option?

    From the setting you mentioned above it should be showing. This screenshot shows the code from a live site I tracked down built on WooCommerce showing what’s missing.

    Sorry, but not really knowing WordPress and certainly not WooCommerce I’m a bit stumped now other than normal troubleshooting I’d do with other software such as …

    Have you tried:
    1 Deactivating, clearing cache and reactivating?
    2 Switching between the shipping settings a few times and clearing cache in between each time?
    3 Enabling debugging to see if any errors are being thrown?
    4 Double checking other plugins in case one was actually installed to hide the shipping fields.
    5 Deactivating other plugins to check for conflicts?

    If I have some kind of brainwave and figure it out I’ll be back but honestly I think I’m out of ideas.

    Hopefully someone with actual knowledge will be along soon to help you with more targeted advice … or you figure it out before then ??

    Good luck!
