How to remove county field (or billing_state) on checkout if country is UK/GB?
-
I’m looking for a way to remove specific billing_state fields. For UK/ GB or switzerland for example. To get rid of fields that are not ‘required’.
I tried this but this isn’t working:
function mp_change_locale_field_defaults($countries) {
$countries[‘GB’][‘state’][‘hidden’] = true;
return $countries;
}I looked into class-wc-countries.php as well but I also did not find the line where I can manually edit this.
Help is very much appreciated.

Hi Remi,
thanks for the link but unfortunately it doesn’t really do what I am looking for.Can I ask you where exactly the checkout conditions/rules for the dependent country and billing_state fields are located?
I thought class-wc-countries.php is where you can find those conditions and rules. https://github.com/woocommerce/woocommerce/blob/master/includes/class-wc-countries.php It’s in the WooCommerce – includes folder.
In lines 482pp (with germany as an example)
public function get_address_formats() { if ( empty( $this->address_formats ) ) { $this->address_formats = apply_filters( 'woocommerce_localisation_address_formats', array( 'default' => "{name}\n{company}\n{address_1}\n{address_2}\n{city}\n{state}\n{postcode}\n{country}", 'DE' => "{company}\n{name}\n{address_1}\n{address_2}\n{postcode} {city}\n{country}", [...]So I tried to add
'GB' => "{company}\n{name}\n{address_1}\n{address_2}\n{postcode} {city}\n{country}",no n{state}
This did not work unfortunately
Strangely there is the line for switzerland
'CH' => "{company}\n{name}\n{address_1}\n{address_2}\n{postcode} {city}\n{country}",No state in the code but on the checkout the billing_state will show up. I’m looking at the wrong place I guess.
I tried another approach:
In line 1262pp
'GB' => array( 'postcode' => array( 'label' => __( 'Postcode', 'woocommerce' ), ), 'state' => array( 'label' => __( 'County', 'woocommerce' ), 'required' => false,OK, why not try to insert
'state' => array( 'label' => __( 'County', 'woocommerce' ), 'required' => false, 'hidden' => true,Nope.
Can you point me in the right direction where this billing state condition/rule (dependend on from which country the user is) is set up?
Of course, I don’t want you to write the code for me but if you could be so kind and tell me which .php is relevant.
Just as a reminder: I want to get rid of the billing_state field for specific countries (for those cases the billing_state isn’t a required field anyway… I just want to streamline and minimize the checkout process)
Thanks so much for your patience!
I hope you are well and safe.
Warm regardsI got what you need. Lost the original source to credit but use this code. Add this to your themes functions.php
add_filter( 'woocommerce_states' , 'keep_specific_country_states', 10, 1 ); function keep_specific_country_states( $states ) { // HERE define the countries where you want to keep $countries = array('US', 'AU', 'CA'); $new_country_states = array(); // Loop though all country states foreach( $states as $country_code => $country_states ){ if( ! in_array( $country_code, $countries ) ){ // Remove states from all countries except the defined ones $states[$country_code] = array(); } } return $states; }Add countries that require a state to;
$countries = array('US', 'AU', 'CA');I think its better to do it by JS.
// hide country field for UK $(document.body).on("updated_checkout", function (e) { var sm_selected_country = $("#billing_country").val(); console.log("selected county", sm_selected_country); if (sm_selected_country && sm_selected_country === "GB") { $("#billing_state_field").addClass("d-none"); } else { $("#billing_state_field").removeClass("d-none"); } });
