Adding code
Before adding snippets, clear your WooCommerce cache. WooCommerce > System Status > Tools > WooCommerce Transients > Clear transients
You need to add this code to your child theme’s file or via a plugin that allows custom functions to be added, such as the Code snippets plugin. Please don’t add custom code directly to your parent theme’s file as this will be wiped entirely when you update the theme.
Overview
By default, WooCommerce will show all shipping methods that match the customer and the cart contents. This means Free Shipping will also show along with Flat Rate and other Shipping Methods. The functionality to hide all other methods and only show Free Shipping requires either custom PHP code or a plugin/extension.
