La case à cocher, qui permet de rendre le choix d'un créneau horaire optionnel, apparait à la suite des champs de configuration du plugin "WooCommerce Local Pickup Time" dans "Woocommerce > Réglages > Général" comme on peut le voir sur cette image.

J'ai ajouté un javascript qui cache le menu déroulant si ce n'est pas le retrait en magasin qui est choisi comme méthode de livraison. Pour que le menu reste toujours visible, il suffit de commenter la ligne 21 en plaçant devant deux slash :
// add_action( 'wp_footer', 'hide_local_pickup_time_select' );

Hello, which line of code is the one that is hiding the pop-up message "please choose the time for your pickup" that's showing (even when customer choose another method than pickup) ?

Thanks !
