Simplify WooCommerce checkout fields for free checkouts

Hello! Seems this no longer works with woocommerce 3.3. unset fields are still required.

I'm running woocommerce 3.4, and as noted above, while the fields are properly omitted from the form, one then gets "field billing city is required" etc. errors when submitting the form. I solved this by modifying the main condition to include not only is_checkout but also is_ajax, as described here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/52089144/1885340.

Hi, I have been using this code but suddenly I get this error:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function WC() in /home//public_html/**.com/wp-content/themes/Divi-child/functions.php on line 45

Line 45 is the one that reads: if ( WC()->cart && WC()->cart->needs_payment() ) {

Where should WC() be defined and why is it not finding it now? I'm not very good at modifying my functions.php file but has been working for sometime until today.

Never mind, this kind of thing happens when you deactivate the woo commerce plugin in an attempt to problem solve wp-cron not working.

I've been using the script for a day being completely happy (and my customers more!).
But I realised that the paid orders came only with billing_first_name, billing_second_name and billing_email.
I made sure that the checkout is requiring the rest of the fields for paid orders, and it does. So the user enters it but the system deletes them afterwards.
I believe that's because there's no payment needed when processing the order after the purchase is made, so the extra fields are deleted.
Anybody has got a solution?

Hi Beka,
Great snippet. It works perfectly but for one thing: Currently First Name and Last Name are optional and I wish they could be mandatory.
