 * Hi,
 * I’ve been struggling for days now, but can’t seem to get rid of a built-in field
   inside a custom build shop-theme.
    They added an extra row to the standard billing
   info block, which is supplementary to the standard ‘order notes’ field. But after
   endless efforts of filtering this element out, the check-out page breaks or the
   element stays where it is.
 * This is the current filter I added to the funtion.php inside child theme>woocommerce
   folder:
 *  //remove Additional Notes Theme Field
    add_filter( ‘woocommerce_additional fields’,‘
   remove_wpvmp_woofields’ );
 *  function remove_wpvmp_woofields( $fields ) {
    unset($fields[‘additional’][‘wpvmp_woofields’]);
   return $fields; }
 * This filter being based on the standard filter to remove the complete order notes
   combined with the code referring to the ‘wpvmp_woofields’, which is the found
   when inspecting with Chrome under the insection tree additional fields and responsible
   for the field I want to remove.
 * But also replaced the parent shipping.php and function.php from the parent and
   the main theme, but low and behold….it’s still there!
 * So anyone who would like to dive into this and help me out is much appreciated!
   
   If you need more insight on how the page scripts are looking, just go to videoanimations.
   nl, go to the shop and select an item. When you then go to checkout, you can 
   inspect the complete code by yourself.
 * Cheers,
 * Jon

 * Hi there,
 * Without knowing the full extent of the custom coding that has been made, the 
   only thing I can think of is to make sure that the hook you’re using is the right
   one.

 * Hey [@jonneman](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jonneman/)
 * For advice around this, I would recommend reaching out to one of our vetted developers
   on the WooCommerce.com [Customizations page](https://woocommerce.com/customizations)
   or join the [WooCommerce Slack Community](https://woocommerce.com/community-slack/).
 * Googling for `wpvmp_woofields` I found this thread on [Stack Overflow](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/45894606/unsetting-conditionally-custom-checkout-fields-in-woocommerce/50466993)
   that might help.
 * I’m going to mark this as “resolved” as it is not a core support query but is
   based on customization – if you have any further questions, you can start a new
   thread.
 * Thanks,
