How to uncheck the subscribe box in checkout?

[Danab]

I am fiddling around with the single page checkout and I noticed that the checkbox to subscribe to the newsletter box is pre-checked. This is a nono with mailchimp and the CASL laws.

"When requesting consent, checkboxes cannot be pre-filled to suggest consent. Each subscriber must check the box themselves for consent to be valid."

I must be really tired but I cannot figure out how to have it default to unchecked. How would I edit this in the code and where would I find it??

Thanks in advance!

Wow we all have our reasons. In the past it was unchecked. I changed to checked and hidden on the the template page. Silly me!

Godesign. I am a coding newbie so I'm not sure what you meant in your reply. I still want to have the checkbox there, but not have it pre-checked to be compliant. Could you tell me or cut and paste the line of code that I would need to change?

Thank you,
Dana

Hi Danab

go to your checkout-singlepage.html

find this section between blocks:

          <!--END: confirm_email-->
          <div class="chkField">
              <div class="checkbox-format">
                  <input type="checkbox" value="1" name="maillist" [maillist] tabindex="13" />
                  <label for="maillist">[checkout1_joinmailinglist]</label>
                  <div class="clear"></div>
              </div>
            <div class="clear"></div>
          </div>
          <!--START: account_login2-->

Change:

value="1"

-to-

value="0"

SAVE - Clear cache if active

That should do it.

Thanks,
Shaun

Thanks a bunch!
