    I’m trying to lower or remove the strong password requirement with for example https://wordpress.org/support/topic/woocommerce-checkout-password/ and the changes aren’t taking effect, still wanting a strong password. I’m making the changes to the themes function.php file.
    Cleared cache on the site and CDN and changes still not accepting. I can verify using the editor that indeed the changes are in the file on the server. What could be preventing the changes from taking effect?
    Thanks

    sounds like cache issue.

    Cleared cache on the site and CDN

    Also, try flushing any caching plugins you might be running, as well as server and/or browser caches. Not just your browser, but any op cache or content network cache as well such as Cloudflare. If your host provider has a “Purge Varnish” option or if you can ask your provider to flush memcache on your server. If you are using SiteLock, manage your caching there.

    Just an update, located a plugin called “Speed Booster Pack” that was causing the issue. Once disabled, worked fine.
