How did you do this ? using 1.4.4

Can you simply remove the "required" class from the relevant tpl files?

eg. order-opc-new-account.tpl

 

So this:

 

<p class="required postcode text">
 <label for="postcode">{l s='Zip / Postal code'}</label>
 <input type="text" class="text" name="postcode" id="postcode" value="{if isset($guestInformations) && $guestInformations.postcode}{$guestInformations.postcode}{/if}" onkeyup="$('#postcode').val($('#postcode').val().toUpperCase());" />
 <sup>*</sup>
</p>

 

to this:

<p class="postcode text">
 <label for="postcode">{l s='Zip / Postal code'}</label>
 <input type="text" class="text" name="postcode" id="postcode" value="{if isset($guestInformations) && $guestInformations.postcode}{$guestInformations.postcode}{/if}" onkeyup="$('#postcode').val($('#postcode').val().toUpperCase());" />
</p>

Nope, didn't work.

I can't find anything to get rid of this postcode error, and even just making it visible but not required isn't working.

I can't believe this problem still exists after four years and no one seems to be working on it.

It is now possible on  version 1.6.*

You can make zip code optional for each country.

To do that, go to Countries page on back office and edit particular country that you want to disable Zip Code.

And choose "No" for Does it need Zip/postal code? option

 

You can control all or 'some' countries by running SQL on database. The following query will disable zip code on all countries:

UPDATE `ps_country` SET need_zip_code = 0
