You could try this:
add_filter( 'woocommerce_checkout_fields' , 'customize_fields' );
function customize_fields( $fields ) {
// remove fields:
unset($fields['order']['order_comments']);
unset($fields['billing']['billing_company']);
unset($fields['billing']['billing_phone']);
// make fields not required:
$fields['billing']['billing_address_1']['required'] = false;
$fields['billing']['billing_address_2']['required'] = false;
$fields['billing']['billing_postcode']['required'] = false;
$fields['billing']['billing_city']['required'] = false;
// make fields required:
$fields['account']['account_username']['required'] = true;
$fields['account']['account_password']['required'] = true;
$fields['account']['account_password-2']['required'] = true;
return $fields;
}
this seems to work on my install.

Removing the fields work just fine, but the remaining fields are still required :(
Dbranes comments:
Hi, have you tried to submit the form and see what happens?
(I still got the star on some of those not-required fields)
Dbranes comments:
ps: You can debug it with
add_filter( 'woocommerce_checkout_fields' , 'customize_fields' );
function customize_fields( $fields ) {
printf( "<!-- %s -->", print_r( $fields, true ) ) ;
return $fields;
}
to see all the fields info, by viewing the page HTML source.

I haven't tried submitting, no. But that's a bit besides the point, since I'm making it not required to make it easier to register for the user - even if it's not required, if they THINK it is (because of the little red stars), it loses the point :(
Dbranes comments:
There is a Javascript file
/woocommerce/assets/js/frontend/checkout.min.js
that might be adding the extra required star on some checkout-fields:
var required = ' <abbr class="required" title="' + woocommerce_params.i18n_required_text + '">*</abbr>';
It seems to depend on the locale settings from the country dropdown.
I was able to overwrite the default locale settings for France (FR) like this:
add_filter( 'woocommerce_get_country_locale', 'woocommerce_get_country_locale_callback' );
function woocommerce_get_country_locale_callback($locale) {
$locale['FR']['city']['required'] = false;
$locale['FR']['post_code']['required'] = false;
$locale['FR']['address_1']['required'] = false;
$locale['FR']['address_2']['required'] = false;
return $locale;
}
ps:
The un-compressed version is:
/woocommerce/assets/js/frontend/checkout.js
Dbranes comments:
... and if you want to overwrite all the locale settings, you can use:
add_filter( 'woocommerce_get_country_locale_base', 'woocommerce_get_country_locale_base_callback' );
function woocommerce_get_country_locale_base_callback($base) {
//$base['first_name']['required'] = false;
//$base['last_name']['required'] = false;
//$base['state']['required'] = false;
$base['city']['required'] = false;
$base['postcode']['required'] = false;
$base['address_1']['required'] = false;
$base['address_2']['required'] = false;
return $base;
}
it looks like this will take care of the Javascript part.

Sadly the plugin seems to bug up other stuff on the page :(
