Hello, welcome to therichpost.com. In this post, I will tell you How to change input fields labels and placeholders of Woocommerce checkout form? WordPress is the best cms and Woocommerce is the best Ecommerce plugin. WordPress hooks(add_action, add_filter) give us the power to edit or change the code without interruption into the files and this is the best thing about wordpress. Now I am going to tell you how the hooks work.
And Now Final, here is the woocommerce hook to change input fields labels and placeholders of Woocommerce checkout form and you need to add this hook into your wordpress theme’s functions.php file.
add_filter('woocommerce_checkout_fields', 'custom_override_checkout_fields'); function custom_override_checkout_fields($fields) { unset($fields['billing']['billing_address_2']); $fields['billing']['billing_company']['placeholder'] = 'Business Name'; $fields['billing']['billing_company']['label'] = 'Business Name'; $fields['billing']['billing_first_name']['placeholder'] = 'First Name'; $fields['shipping']['shipping_first_name']['placeholder'] = 'First Name'; $fields['shipping']['shipping_last_name']['placeholder'] = 'Last Name'; $fields['shipping']['shipping_company']['placeholder'] = 'Company Name'; $fields['billing']['billing_last_name']['placeholder'] = 'Last Name'; $fields['billing']['billing_email']['placeholder'] = 'Email Address '; $fields['billing']['billing_phone']['placeholder'] = 'Phone '; return $fields; }
