Do Not Allo PO Boxes

    I cannot ship products to PO Boxes so I found this snippet to do that:

    add_action('woocommerce_after_checkout_validation', 'deny_pobox_postcode');

function deny_pobox_postcode( $posted ) {
  global $woocommerce;

  $postcode = ( isset( $this->posted['shipping_postcode'] ) ) ? $this->posted['shipping_postcode'] : $this->posted['billing_postcode'];

  $postcode = strtolower(str_replace( ' ', '', $postcode ));

  if ( strstr( $postcode, 'pobox' ) ) {
    $woocommerce->add_error( "Sorry, we don't ship to PO BOX addresses." );
  }
}

    This code comes from here: https://gist.github.com/2282666

    The problem is, when I add this snippet to my theme’s function.php file, I get this fatal error: Using $this when not in object context in…

    What am I doing wrong?

  • The code is written wrong ??

    add_action('woocommerce_after_checkout_validation', 'deny_pobox_postcode');

function deny_pobox_postcode( $posted ) {
  global $woocommerce;

  $postcode = ( isset( $posted['shipping_postcode'] ) ) ? $posted['shipping_postcode'] : $posted['billing_postcode'];

  $postcode = strtolower(str_replace( ' ', '', $postcode ));

  if ( strstr( $postcode, 'pobox' ) ) {
    $woocommerce->add_error( "Sorry, we don't ship to PO BOX addresses." );
  }
}

    Dont need to define it as $this->posted as we are passing $posted through already :).

    The code above works.. it is not an ideal solution though.

    Thanks! That code works. But I realized that it is checking the Post Code instead of the street address where most customers would put the PO Box, so I edited it as so:
    add_action(‘woocommerce_after_checkout_validation’, ‘deny_pobox_postcode’);

    function deny_pobox_postcode( $posted ) {
 global $woocommerce;

 $postcode = ( isset( $posted['shipping_address_1'] ) ) ? $posted['shipping_address_1'] : $posted['billing_address_1'];

 $postcode = strtolower(str_replace( ' ', '', $postcode ));

 if ( strstr( $postcode, 'pobox' ) ) {
   $woocommerce->add_error( "Sorry, we cannot ship to PO BOX addresses." );
 }
}

    And it’s working fine now.

    I would like to use this code as I can’t ship to PO Boxes either, but when I place it in my functions.php file it still allows me to enter a PO Box as my shipping address. Any insight?
