I’ve created only 1 shipping method with 1 flat rate option. how do i make it auto checked on my checkout page as it won’t allow me to select / click on the radio button.

Hi @nicetig
```
add_action( 'woocommerce_before_checkout_form', 'ahir_select_free_shipping_by_default' );
function ahir_select_free_shipping_by_default() {
    if ( isset(WC()->session) && ! WC()->session->has_session() )
        WC()->session->set_customer_session_cookie( true );

    // Check if "free shipping" is already set
    if ( strpos( WC()->session->get('chosen_shipping_methods')[0], 'free_shipping' ) !== false )
        return;

    // Loop through shipping methods
    foreach( WC()->session->get('shipping_for_package_0')['rates'] as $key => $rate ){
        if( $rate->method_id === 'free_shipping' ){
            // Set "Free shipping" method
            WC()->session->set( 'chosen_shipping_methods', array($rate->id) );
            return;
        }
    }
}
```
Code goes in function.php file of your active child theme (or active theme). tested and works.

Please change code based on your shipping method name.

Thanks

thanks Ahir,

I’ve changed ‘free_shipping’ to ‘flat_rate1’ but still not able to get it to work?
```
add_action( 'woocommerce_before_checkout_form', 'ahir_select_free_shipping_by_default' );
function ahir_select_free_shipping_by_default() {
    if ( isset(WC()->session) && ! WC()->session->has_session() )
        WC()->session->set_customer_session_cookie( true );

    // Check if "free shipping" is already set
    if ( strpos( WC()->session->get('chosen_shipping_methods')[0], 'flat_rate1' ) !== false )
        return;

    // Loop through shipping methods
    foreach( WC()->session->get('shipping_for_package_0')['rates'] as $key => $rate ){
        if( $rate->method_id === 'flat_rate1' ){
            // Set "Free shipping" method
            WC()->session->set( 'chosen_shipping_methods', array($rate->id) );
            return;
        }
    }
}
```

Hello @nicetig ,

Thanks for the link to your site.

I can see that the “Flat-rate” shipping method can’t be selected.

Have you tried with a default theme like Storefront to see if the problem is with your current theme?

You can try after enabling troubleshoot mode using the Health Check: https://wordpress.org/plugins/health-check/ plugin to safely enable troubleshooting mode and deactivate plugins, themes without affecting how your site is available to the visitors. See Troubleshooting using Health Check: https://docs.woocommerce.com/document/troubleshooting-using-health-check/ for more details.

For more detailed instructions on conflict test, check out How to test for plugin and theme conflicts: https://docs.woocommerce.com/document/how-to-test-for-conflicts/

Let us know how the test goes.
