disable autofocus on first name checkout field

Is this impossible? It doesn’t make sense to allow people to change the checkout field order if autofocus cannot be disabled..

Hi, I just had this problem. Try this. Works for me. This code will ensure autofocus=”off” is set on First Name.

/* WOOCOMMERCE: CHECKOUT: DISABLE AUTOFOCUS ON FIRST NAME */
function disable_autofocus_firstname($fields)
{
$fields[‘billing’][‘billing_first_name’][‘autofocus’] = false;
return $fields;
}
add_filter(‘woocommerce_checkout_fields’, ‘disable_autofocus_firstname’);

That was it! Thanks a lot!!

Hi @lindenism @vervelover

I’ve inserted the code exactly as written above into the functions.php file of the active child theme, but it does not work for me; the autofocus=’autofocus’ attribute remains for the billing_first_name field. Have semantics changed?

Thanks.

Hi Svenv,

that’s the code I use (still working):

// Hook in
add_filter( 'woocommerce_checkout_fields' , 'custom_override_checkout_fields' );

// Our hooked in function - $fields is passed via the filter!
function custom_override_checkout_fields( $fields ) {
     
     $fields['billing']['billing_first_name']['autofocus'] = 'false';

     return $fields;
}

I am using the woocommerce one page checkout plugin and the woocommerce checkout field editor.

This function worked great to remove the auto-focus, which was making the page scroll down past the products!

Thanks for this.

This worked perfectly for me, too. I used it as a custom plugin rather than adding it to my functions.php file. That way I can quickly add it to my other sites with WooCommerce installed.

Thanks for the script!

I had to target the first name on both the billing and shipping to get it to work, but it seems to be doing the trick now!

/* 
WOOCOMMERCE > CHECKOUT 
DISABLE AUTOFOCUS ON FIRST NAMES so that the page doesn't jump down past the products */
// Hook in
add_filter( 'woocommerce_checkout_fields' , 'custom_override_checkout_fields' );

// Our hooked in function - $fields is passed via the filter!
function custom_override_checkout_fields( $fields ) {
     
     $fields['billing']['billing_first_name']['autofocus'] = 'false';
     $fields['shipping']['shipping_first_name']['autofocus'] = 'false';

     return $fields;
}
