Adding code
Before adding snippets, clear your WooCommerce cache. Go to WooCommerce > System Status > Tools > WC Transients > Clear transients.
Add the below code to your child theme’s functions.php 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 functions.php file as this will be wiped entirely when you update the theme.

if ( 'free_shipping' === $rate->method_id ) {
$new_rates[ $rate_id ] = $rate;
break;
}
}
if ( ! empty( $new_rates ) ) {

// Empty the $available_methods array
unset( $rates );
// Add Free Shipping back into $avaialble_methods
$rates = array();
$rates[] = $freeshipping;
