Change state/county drop down form field as mandatory

Hi @rpeermohamed

You could make the state required in one of two ways:

1) Using custom coding to override the default functionality.
https://gist.github.com/corsonr/6129163 (you’ll need to set it to true though)
https://www.tychesoftwares.com/how-to-make-fields-mandatory-or-optional-on-the-woocommerce-checkout-page/

or

2) Using an extension like https://www.woocommerce.com/products/woocommerce-checkout-field-editor/

To change ‘state’ to ‘city’ you can do this by using a free translation plugin like Loco Translate https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/loco-translate/.?This will allow you to find that phrase and change it to be what you’d like.

Hope it helps ??

Hi, @amandasjackson,

Thank you for your reply. I tried below code. When I refresh the cart page after adding below code in code snippets, initially its showing “state/county” field as required but when its fully refreshed it’s changing as optional field. But I have noticed that when I submit form without filling “State/ county” filed, its’ showing a error message. I believe some other code is overriding.

add_filter( ‘woocommerce_billing_fields’, ‘woo_filter_state_billing’ );
add_filter( ‘woocommerce_shipping_fields’, ‘woo_filter_state_shipping’ );

function woo_filter_state_billing( $address_fields ) {
$address_fields[‘billing_state’][‘required’] = true;
return $address_fields;
}

function woo_filter_state_shipping( $address_fields ) {
$address_fields[‘shipping_state’][‘required’] = true;
return $address_fields;
}
