How to make checkbox checked by default? In Woocommerce checkout

Question

Have a wordpress site with woocommerce

I installed the Getresponse Woocommerce Integration plugin and really need the checkbox at checkout to be TICKED by default (they tick a box "sign up to our newsletter" to join our email list)

Been trying everything, would really appreciate help on how to do this?

I suspect I should change something in line 394 of getresponse_integration.php

<input class="input-checkbox" value="1" id="checkout_checkbox" type="checkbox" name="checkout_checkbox">

Have tried inserting things like "checked" like this:

<input class="input-checkbox" value="1" id="checkout_checkbox" type="checkbox" name="checkout_checkbox" checked>

This makes the box appear checked at checkout but it the emails DO NOT get passed to the list, so I dont receive any welcome email and are not subscribed. Funnily enough if I manually untick the box and retick then it works

Have tried other things like class=selected and no luck??

Would really appreciate some help please?

P.S. Have tried getresponse support and they are no help at all

Answer 1

You need to add the following code to your functions.php

add_filter( 'woocommerce_create_account_default_checked', '__return_true' );

Answer 2

There are hooks provided to do this already. All you need to do is add this to your themes functions.php file. The advantage is that you wont loose the changes when woocommerce files get updated.

add_filter( 'woocommerce_terms_is_checked_default', 'apply_default_check' );
function apply_default_check() 
{
    return 1;
}

Answer 3

You could use jQuery to automatically check the box on page load like this:

<script>
$(document).ready(function () {
    $('#checkout_checkbox').attr('checked', 'checked');
});
</script>
