Making a checkbox checked by default (PHP)

CMS & WordPress
1

Hi there,

I am developing a site where the client wants the users to be able to “Gift Aid” their donations by checking a box on the checkout page. I found a plugin that adds the checkbox but the client wants it to be checked by default. I can’t seem to manipulate the code to do this.

Here is the code that creates the checkbox:

// Echo the checkbox field with label text.
			woocommerce_form_field( 'gift_aid_reclaimed', array(
				'type'      => 'checkbox',
				'class'     => array( 'input-checkbox' ),
				'label'     => esc_html( $gift_aid_label ),
				'required'  => false,
				), $checkout->get_value( 'gift_aid_reclaimed' ) );

I have tried added 'checked' => true, after the “required” line but that has no effect.

Does anyone know how I can change the behaviour of the checkbox to make it checked by default?

Try this:

 checked="checked"
