 * After 2 updates the plugin breaks your webshop. Very bad development.

 * Agree!! What was supposed to be a simple update broke not just my main site caused
   white screens of death on all my websites. I got the old version working after
   restoring backups but I’m very reluctant to update again. Nothing has ever caused
   this much damage from a simple update. CAUTION advised!

 * Revert to 3.6.8. I had to, when I tried to install 4.0.
 * 3.6.8 is here: [https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/woocommerce-checkout-manager.3.6.8.zip](https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/woocommerce-checkout-manager.3.6.8.zip)

 * [@taketheleap](https://wordpress.org/support/users/taketheleap/) thanks! I stopped
   using the plugin en wrote my own filters for the webshop. Better, cleaner and
   not buggy :).

 * Ugh, does anyone know how to remove the required address fields? That’s all I
   need. The new update really screwed up my settings and the new way to hide address
   settings does NOT work!

 * I was able to resolve this issue by deactivating the plugin, reactivating it,
   and going back to the Settings>>Billing section and the extra billing fields 
   showed up. I wasn’t able to remove them, I was able to mark them as NOT required
   though.
 * I then added this code to my CSS file to hide the address fields which are now
   not required.
 * `#billing_country_field, #billing_first_name_field, #billing_last_name_field,#
   billing_company_field, #billing_address_1_field, #billing_address_2_field, #billing_city_field,#
   billing_state_field, #billing_postcode_field, #billing_phone_field {display:none!
   important;}`
 * Note: After reactivating the plugin I get this message again at the top of the
   Settings page:
 * > Almost done! Install latest settings. Click Here
 * I did NOT click and install the latest settings this time around. I’m not sure
   if that was part of the success of the overall solution, but I’m not going to
   click it as everything is working fine now (hidden address fields, not required).

 * Had to disable it. It completely messed my checkout page. It was all working 
   well before, now the plugin doesn’t work and I have no slightest idea how to 
   use it – settings are completely bizarre and anti-intuitive.

 * It is extremely obvious that version 4.0 was never properly tested.
    It crashed
   bigtime. You have no right to palm off this lemon. My cheers to the man who gave
   the link to download the old version of Checkout Manager.
 *  Why are you so eager to change what works to something that was never properly
   tested and clearly does not work?

 * Hi guys, to clarify the backstory here.
 * The 4.0 update was pushed as the Pro Plugin and the free Plugin were to be abandoned.
   Emark put all the goodies of the latest Pro release into the free Plugin and 
   assumed it was good to go.
 * Yes there were critical issues in the initial 4.0 Plugin release, the 4.0.1 Plugin
   update resolves most of the fatal PHP errors and PHP warnings/notices but there’s
   still plenty of work to be done.
 * Please help me by opening new topics about issues and if you see something that
   is obviously wrong let me know via a new topic. 🙂
 * (oh, and OP please update the review if you think the 4.0.1 resolves the above
   issue)
