Remove "(optional)" text from checkout fields in Woocommerce 3.4+
you can easily use css in this
.woocommerce form .form-row .required{
display: none ;
}
.woocommerce form .form-row .optional{
display: none ;
}
A better solution:
/**
* Remove optional label
* https://elextensions.com/knowledge-base/remove-optional-text-woocommerce-checkout-fields/
*/
add_filter( 'woocommerce_form_field' , 'elex_remove_checkout_optional_text', 10, 4 );
function elex_remove_checkout_optional_text( $field, $key, $args, $value ) {
if( is_checkout() && ! is_wc_endpoint_url() ) {
$optional = ' <span class="optional">(' . esc_html__( 'optional', 'woocommerce' ) . ')</span>';
$field = str_replace( $optional, '', $field );
}
return $field;
}
Update 2
To remove "(optional)" text from checkout fields labels introduced with Woocommerce release 3.4, just as it was before, you will need to add the following code:
// PHP: Remove "(optional)" from our non required fields
add_filter( 'woocommerce_form_field' , 'remove_checkout_optional_fields_label', 10, 4 );
function remove_checkout_optional_fields_label( $field, $key, $args, $value ) {
// Only on checkout page
if( is_checkout() && ! is_wc_endpoint_url() ) {
$optional = ' <span class="optional">(' . esc_html__( 'optional', 'woocommerce' ) . ')</span>';
$field = str_replace( $optional, '', $field );
}
return $field;
}
// JQuery: Needed for checkout fields to Remove "(optional)" from our non required fields
add_filter( 'wp_footer' , 'remove_checkout_optional_fields_label_script' );
function remove_checkout_optional_fields_label_script() {
// Only on checkout page
if( ! ( is_checkout() && ! is_wc_endpoint_url() ) ) return;
$optional = ' <span class="optional">(' . esc_html__( 'optional', 'woocommerce' ) . ')</span>';
?>
<script>
jQuery(function($){
// On "update" checkout form event
$(document.body).on('update_checkout', function(){
$('#billing_country_field label > .optional').remove();
$('#billing_address_1_field label > .optional').remove();
$('#billing_postcode_field label > .optional').remove();
$('#billing_state_field label > .optional').remove();
$('#shipping_country_field label > .optional').remove();
$('#shipping_address_1_field label > .optional').remove();
$('#shipping_postcode_field label > .optional').remove();
$('#shipping_state_field label > .optional').remove();
});
});
</script>
<?php
}
Code goes in function.php file of your active child theme (or active theme). Tested and works in Woocommerce version 3.4+.
You could merge the included jQuery code with your existing jQuery code…
