# How to make address fields read only

Use the following snippets to make the billing and/or shipping address fields read-only.

### Make billing fields read only:

 PHP

```
function sl_cc_make_billing_fields_readonly($fields){
  $fields['billing_address_1']['custom_attributes'] = array('readonly'=>'readonly');
  // Below is an example of making the billing city field readonly.
  // $fields['billing_city']['custom_attributes'] = array('readonly'=>'readonly');
  return $fields;
}
add_filter('woocommerce_billing_fields', 'sl_cc_make_billing_fields_readonly', PHP_INT_MAX);
```

### Make shipping fields read only:

 PHP

```
function sl_cc_make_shipping_fields_readonly($fields){
  $fields['shipping_address_1']['custom_attributes'] = array('readonly'=>'readonly');
  // Below is an example of making the shipping city field readonly.
  // $fields['shipping_city']['custom_attributes'] = array('readonly'=>'readonly');
  return $fields;
}
add_filter('woocommerce_shipping_fields', 'sl_cc_make_shipping_fields_readonly', PHP_INT_MAX);
```

You may add both of these snippets to the same field if you wish to disable both fields.

It's possible to make other fields on the page readonly, in the snippets above I commented out an example showing how to disable the billing and shipping city fields. You can duplicate the line where the `...address_1` fields are being set as read only and simply change the field to one of the following to have them become disabled:

#### Billing

`billing_first_name`

`billing_last_name`

`billing_company`

`billing_address_1`

`billing_address_2`

`billing_city`

`billing_postcode`

`billing_country`

`billing_state`

`billing_email`

`billing_phone`

#### Shipping

`shipping_first_name`

`shipping_last_name`

`shipping_company`

`shipping_address_1`

`shipping_address_2`

`shipping_city`

`shipping_postcode`

`shipping_country`

`shipping_state`
