* Hello,
I am trying to do change the text in my checkout page where it says “
ZIP” to say “5 Digit ZIP”.
* You will have to have something in your cart to see this in the checkout page.
Goto this page and ad something into your cart first then proceed to checkout:
* [https://faustharrisonpianos.com/shop/](https://faustharrisonpianos.com/shop/)
* I am not able to locate where the label for ZIP is located in cPanel so I can
change the text or even put something in the place holder text box.
* The place holder box appears to be in the class=”woocommerce-input-wrapper” which
I cannot find either.
* Does anyone know where these are located? Any help would be great.
Thanks

* Hi [@faustharrison](https://wordpress.org/support/users/faustharrison/)!
* You can use the following code to change the label and placeholder
* ```
add_filter( 'woocommerce_checkout_fields' , 'my_override_checkout_fields' );
function my_override_checkout_fields( $fields ) {
$fields['billing']['billing_postcode']['label'] = 'Postal Code';
$fields['billing']['billing_postcode']['placeholder'] = 'Postal Code';
return $fields;
}
```
* You can add this code using a free plugin like Code snippets ([https://wordpress.org/plugins/code-snippets/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/code-snippets/))
or to your child theme’s `functions.php` file. Please don’t add custom code directly
to your parent theme’s `functions.php` file as this will be wiped entirely when
you update
* Cheers!

* Thank you for the reply.
When I tried this using Code Snippets I received an
error in line 1.
* Any additional help would be grateful.
Thanks
* Isn’t there a way using CSS to change what the placeholder says?

* Hey [@faustharrison](https://wordpress.org/support/users/faustharrison/) – the
code looks good to me. Is there any other code present in the Code Snippet file
that you’re using?

* Hello, yes and thank you for this. The code snippet works.
I was having a conflict
with another third party WooCommerce plugin (actually one of the setting options).
Super appreciated and thanks again!

* Is it possible to limit the Postal Code to only 5 digits?
* I found that adding maxlength=”5″ works in google’s inspect element, but I don’t
know how to write the actual code snippet:
