And to clarify my point again, if a Block is available in the Gutenberg editor and that block has fields, at a minimum the text for the field should be editable/customizable. The whole point of the Block editor is to make it easy for folks to edit what is displayed on their site. As it stands, the Block editor doesn’t allow editing this most basic thing and is a bug. Performing basic functionality should never be considered a “feature.” The Blocks version of cart/checkout does not work correctly and needs to be fixed.
Not being able to edit a field label in the Block editor is a bug in my opinion. Especially 2 years after the Blocks version of cart/checkout was released. Being able to customize WordPress and make a website display as desired is why we’re all using WordPress in the first place. Relying on a 3rd party plugin to perform a basic task is not a reasonable solution. It adds a huge amount of overhead. And suggesting “implementing a custom code solution” without providing anything further is also not “providing an alternative.”
While I appreciate the attempt to help here, no reasonable solution has been provided to a very basic problem. Automattic needs to do better here.
Thanks again for the quick replies. Adding a 3rd party translation plugin to fix a basic, core function like editing a field label is complete overkill and not what I would consider a reasonable option. It’s been 2 years now and the Blocks version of the cart/checkout pages are unusable. They need to be completely editable using the Blocks editor UI. Otherwise, why is this the default cart/checkout implementation? It’s just a waste of time. Hardcoding field labels is unacceptable in this day of WordPress where everything should be able to be customized.
Are you folks paid by Automattic? Seems weird that there’s not more help/support for trying to do such a basic task.
Hello – I’m not sure why you would suggest using a custom code snippet and then not provide it. You provided links to plugins. Can you provide a link to a page that has more information? Can you confirm that this is definitely possible using a custom code snippet?
Thanks
Thanks for the reply. Imagine using the block editor to actually edit the block content instead of using a 3rd party plugin that’s complete overkill! Why is Woocommerce making this so hard?
You said one can use a “custom code snippet to override the string” – can you give me a working example? All of the code examples I’ve found only work for the old version of Woocommerce Cart/Checkout and not the Blocks version.
Thanks.
Thanks for the quick reply but, really? Gutenberg Blocks has been the default cart/checkout display for 2 years now and there’s no way to do a basic task of changing a label without installing some random “translate” plugin? That’s really hard to believe. Do you know if this is going to be fixed to be part of the Block editor. And if so, when?
Thanks.
Edit: and you said “some” labels aren’t editable. Which ones are editable?

In reply to: [WooCommerce Square] How to change shipping optionsHi @lovingbro
I appreciate the follow up but I do think there’s a bug here. There’s no local pickup option when the user selects Apple Pay. How do we get a local pickup option to show up in popup?
And there must be some way to tell the apply pay pop up to not ask for shipping options entirely. I want apple pay to just handle the payment, not the shipping. I’ve seen plenty of apple pay options on other site sthat don’t require a shipping selection.
If you could point me to where in the javascript code the apple pay options are set up that would be great. Thanks!

In reply to: [WooCommerce Square] How to change shipping optionsHi Moses – thanks for the follow up. We only have the apple pay button the Checkout page. So Woocommerce allows for local pick up and that’s the default option on the checkout page. So is it a bug that the apple pay popup is forcing a shipping selection?
And you said “The shipping options you see there are generated by WooCommerce in real-time” – is that set up in your plugin javascript code?

In reply to: [WooCommerce Square] How to change shipping optionsHi Moses – thanks for the quick reply. Yes, the shipping option is appearing int he Apple Pay pop up. I’d like to remove that and have the customer pick the shipping option on the Woocommerce checkout page. Thanks!
Ah thanks, I had disabled plugins but not the theme. My theme defers javascript loading. This line that gets added to the page’s HEAD section should check if jQuery is available before trying to execute it.
jQuery(function(jQuery){jQuery.datepicker.setDefaults({“closeText”:”Close”,”currentText”:”Today”,”monthNames”:[“January”,”February”,”March”,”April”,”May”,”June”,”July”,”August”,”September”,”October”,”November”,”December”],”monthNamesShort”:[“Jan”,”Feb”,”Mar”,”Apr”,”May”,”Jun”,”Jul”,”Aug”,”Sep”,”Oct”,”Nov”,”Dec”],”nextText”:”Next”,”prevText”:”Previous”,”dayNames”:[“Sunday”,”Monday”,”Tuesday”,”Wednesday”,”Thursday”,”Friday”,”Saturday”],”dayNamesShort”:[“Sun”,”Mon”,”Tue”,”Wed”,”Thu”,”Fri”,”Sat”],”dayNamesMin”:[“S”,”M”,”T”,”W”,”T”,”F”,”S”],”dateFormat”:”MM d, yy”,”firstDay”:0,”isRTL”:false});});
And why is this loading on every page and not just the Events Manager related pages?
Thanks for the quick reply. Actually I don’t want the Author replaced. But I see that I have to check the “Disable Replace Author” box *and* select an “Assigned Author” – checking the box did the trick. Thanks!

In reply to: [Add Hierarchy (parent) to post] Add parent post to breadcrumbs?Oh never mind – looks like breadcrumbs are a custom function in the theme files so would need to modify there.

In reply to: Can’t update/add Pages on GoDaddy hosting@anevins – I enabled debug mode but it didn’t seem to do anything. No errors were displayed to the screen. Perhaps Godaddy overrides it somehow.
@madhivanan – this is Godaddy’s Managed WordPress plan – there’s no cpanel access.

In reply to: Can’t update/add Pages on GoDaddy hostingI tried pushing the Godaddy support person I was online chatting with but they were steadfast with their:
“Sorry I don’t have access to the shared servers. We need root login to access the logs.”
I tried to escalate but no go. So ridiculous – no one should be using that model of server hosting – customer or provider. 🙂 This was for their “Managed WordPress” hosting plan. Customer support said customers can only access logs on VPS or dedicated server plans.
