checkout billing state field change to not required

Replies: 0

Hi,

How can I change the billing state field to a not required field? I tried this code but somehow its not working

function panda_custom_billing_fields( $fields ) {
  $fields['billing']['billing_state']['required'] = false;
  return $fields;
}

add_filter( 'woocommerce_checkout_fields', 'panda_custom_billing_fields', 999 );

regards,
dexter
