At the time ,when I went back to update the post it was already marked as resolved for some reason. So anyway, I thought I would try again, just in case you knew of some way I could even manually update the code to force the default country? * [anastas10s](https://wordpress.org/support/users/anastas10s/) * (@anastas10s) * [3 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/paypal-card-fields-defaulting-to-uk-billing-address-2/#post-16100039) * Hi there [@funzeye](https://wordpress.org/support/users/funzeye/) 👋 * > So anyway, I thought I would try again, just in case you knew of some way I > could even manually update the code to force the default country? * I understand that your issue is that the credit card fields are defaulting to a UK, instead of an Irish, country option. * Yet, the System Status report you are providing us with, both [7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/paypal-card-fields-defaulting-to-uk-billing-address/#post-15375609) and now are the same: * > ### Status report information ### > Generated at: 2022-02-17 14:03:18 +00:00 * The first thing one reads on the `WooCommerce PayPal Checkout Payment Gateway` plugin page is the following notice: ⚠️ Support for PayPal Checkout will discontinue from 1 Mar 2022 and updates to the plugin have stopped as of 1 Sept 2021. We recommend switching to [PayPal Payments](https://woocommerce.com/products/woocommerce-paypal-payments/). * Therefore, I would like you to 1. Deactivate and delete the `WooCommerce PayPal Checkout Gateway: by WooCommerce – 2.1.3` found in the site’s list of plugins and 2. Update, [WooCommerce](https://wordpress.org/plugins/woocommerce/), [WordPress](https://wordpress.org/download/) and [WooCommerce PayPal Payments](https://wordpress.org/plugins/woocommerce-paypal-payments/) to their respective latest versions and see if the issue persists. * Looking forward to hearing from you! * Thread Starter [funzeye](https://wordpress.org/support/users/funzeye/) * (@funzeye) * [3 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/paypal-card-fields-defaulting-to-uk-billing-address-2/#post-16100074) * So the official reply is: “please stop using our plugin”!? Trust me when I say that I want to do this, however its currently not possible to as we are in the middle of a busy sales period and dont want to mess with anything payments related until things calm down a bit. * I copied the logs from the previous thread to save time. The log output will be the same as the one now. I have all the same plugins installed and running as then. * Its fine, if you have no solution then forget about it. marked as resolved again, I will switch plugins in a couple of months. * [anastas10s](https://wordpress.org/support/users/anastas10s/) * (@anastas10s) * [3 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/paypal-card-fields-defaulting-to-uk-billing-address-2/#post-16100296) * Hi there [@funzeye](https://wordpress.org/support/users/funzeye/) 👋 * > So the official reply is: > “please stop using our plugin”!? * Not quite. What is actually happening at the moment on your site, is that you have two active plugins with overlapping features: 1. WooCommerce PayPal Checkout Gateway: by WooCommerce 2. WooCommerce PayPal Payments: By WooCommerce * That’s a conflict that’s no good for any site. Not only that, but support and updates have stopped for (1) a while now. * They are both official plugins, but (2) has now replaced (1) and _therefore it is essential to stop using (1)_, as this will additionally help resolve your issue. * I hope that provides further clarity, otherwise let us know! * Thread Starter [funzeye](https://wordpress.org/support/users/funzeye/) * (@funzeye) * [3 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/paypal-card-fields-defaulting-to-uk-billing-address-2/#post-16100318) * Hi,yes thanks, i agree. The 2nd plugin is deactivated though. So I would have assumed it wouldnt be having any effect? I mean I can try deleting the 2nd plugin completely for now if you think that will fix the issue. * [https://snipboard.io/NgtFBW.jpg](https://snipboard.io/NgtFBW.jpg) * [Igor H](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ihereira/) * (@ihereira) * [3 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/paypal-card-fields-defaulting-to-uk-billing-address-2/#post-16101940) * Hello, * Thanks for your message. * Please be advised, that our Support for PayPal Checkout ended on 1 Mar 2022. We are unable to provide support for this plugin at this time 🙁 * However, we highly recommend switching to other PayPal plugin that fits your needs, for example, one robust option is [PayPal Payments](https://wordpress.org/plugins/woocommerce-paypal-payments/). * To help with this process, kindly refer to this article with more information below: [https://woocommerce.com/document/woocommerce-paypal-payments/paypal-payments-upgrade-guide/](https://woocommerce.com/document/woocommerce-paypal-payments/paypal-payments-upgrade-guide/) * If you have any question moving your setup to the recommended PayPal extension, feel free to let us know. * Thread Starter [funzeye](https://wordpress.org/support/users/funzeye/) * (@funzeye) * [3 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/paypal-card-fields-defaulting-to-uk-billing-address-2/#post-16185235) * Okay so I figured this out, thought I would update for anyone else looking in future: Add this to functions.php: * ``` add_filter('woocommerce_paypal_express_checkout_paypal_locale','set_default_language_paypal_express'); function set_default_language_paypal_express() { return 'en_IE'; } ``` * here is the locale codes for all countries: [https://developer.paypal.com/api/nvp-soap/locale-codes/](https://developer.paypal.com/api/nvp-soap/locale-codes/) - This reply was modified 3 years, 5 months ago by [funzeye](https://wordpress.org/support/users/funzeye/). * [anastas10s](https://wordpress.org/support/users/anastas10s/) * (@anastas10s) * [3 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/paypal-card-fields-defaulting-to-uk-billing-address-2/#post-16185489) * Thank you for reaching back about this [@funzeye](https://wordpress.org/support/users/funzeye/), * Just to clarify, with which of the two plugins are you using the code snippet? * 1.
