You could install a free WordPress plugin to enable “LOGIN / LOGOUT” menu links – or you could use a super simple snippet. Once again, the less plugins you use the better, especially if you can replace them with a few lines of code.
In this case study, I have added the “My Account” page to the navigation menu and I want that label to change to “Login” if the user is logged out. Enjoy!

You can add first and last name to the WooCommerce registration form (easy, no?). Or maybe a custom radio field. And why not, a file upload input – which is able to load an image from the user’s browser, assign it to the form, and add the image to “Media” in your WordPress install.
And today we’ll see exactly that. Unfortunately the “woocommerce_form_field” function does not allow (yet, maybe) to generate file input fields, so we’ll just use basic HTML. Enjoy!

If you’ve enabled customer registration on the My Account page, you will know that a new user is automatically logged in as soon as they successfully register.
This is great – however in certain cases it could be “dangerous” (for example, if you need to manually approve each user).
As I was searching through the WooCommerce plugin code, I found a great action filter that can immediately stop this from happening – I love one-liners! So, here’s the quick fix.

There are times when you need to send logged out customers to a Login page and unregistered customers to a standalone Register page.
As you know, the WooCommerce My Account page, which contains the [woocommerce_my_account] shortcode, has both Login and Registration forms when registration is enabled on the My Account settings.
This is not always a good idea, mostly when you use landing pages or sales pages with a specific goal e.g. user registration.
Clearly, when this happens, you don’t want to have a login form there as well. My solution provides two new shortcodes, one for the login form and one for the register form, as well as a complete guide to set the whole process up. Enjoy!

How can WooCommerce customers edit an order they just placed and paid for? I swear I looked on search engine results and other places before coming to the conclusion I needed to code this myself.
For example, a user might want to change the delivery date (if you provide this on the checkout page). Or maybe they need to change size, or make up their mind about a given product in the order.
Either way it’s shocking to me this functionality is not in a plugin – as usual if you’re interested in customizing this snippet/plugin for your specific needs feel free to get in touch.
So, let’s see how it’s done!

Here’s a snippet regarding the “My Account” registration form and, once again, GDPR. If you get any website traffic from EU, you will need users to give you Privacy Policy consent – including when they register a new account on your WooCommerce website.
So, how do we display a checkbox on the My Account page, at the bottom of the registration form? Continue reading WooCommerce: Add Privacy Policy Consent @ My Account Registration
Ok, we all know that the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) will come into force on the 25th May 2018.
So the main question is: what changes do we need to make on our WooCommerce website to become compliant? And another important query might be: how does GDPR affect non-European WooCommerce websites?
In this article, I will tell you EXACTLY what you need to do. There are a million articles and plugins on WordPress GDPR compliance, but there is no “ultimate” blog that tells you what you should be doing.
If you don’t know what GDPR is or need a good refresher, read Wikipedia’s GDPR page or the “Introduction to GDPR Compliance for WooCommerce Stores” on the official WooCommerce blog.
Many blogs I’ve read and WordCamp events I’ve attended didn’t really give me the answers I needed. I don’t particularly care about GDPR itself, I just want to know what I need to do on my WooCommerce website.
So, let’s see what changes you’re required to make.
Please note: I’m not a lawyer and cannot guarantee this article is going to make you 100% compliant – make sure to assess your GDPR compliance with a qualified consultant.

Customizing the WooCommerce “My Account” page is one of the most requested features by designers and developers.
The “My Account” page of an ecommerce website is absolutely vital to the smooth running of its operations, should be well designed in order to allow users to fully make the most of account management and – of course – can be customized in order to convert more sales and or entice for return business.
The “My Account” page is an actual WordPress page (you can find it under “Pages”) which contains a WooCommerce shortcode. Such shortcode outputs the default account management tabs and their unique content.
In order to customize the look, feel, layout, content and design of the “My Account” page (and all its subpages of course, such as the “Edit Address” page), you have two different choices. If you’re familiar with PHP customization, almost anything can be achieved with simple snippets: add a custom tab, remove a tab, change the content of a tab, sort tabs, and so on. We’ve seen this already on Business Bloomer but I’ll link to a few articles and tutorials below as a reminder.
The other sleek alternative is to use a plugin. Sometimes, this might be a quick and error-free way to achieve what you need without the need of having to code. It’s up to you – so in this article we will see both methods!

The default WooCommerce My Account tabs are many. Sometimes, they’re too many. In this post, we will see how to “merge” two tabs into a single one.
For example, how can we move the content of the “Edit Address” tab into the “Edit Account” tab – and save users some navigation time?

Many WooCommerce websites don’t need the “Downloads” tab in the My Account page. Or maybe the “Addresses” tab needs to be renamed into something more user-friendly 🙂
Well, here are 2 super simple snippets to hide or rename any tabs you have in the My Account page, including custom tabs that are added by plugins such as Account Funds, Subscriptions, and so on.
Simply note down the URL of the tab e.g. “edit-account” (see image) and edit the snippets accordingly. Enjoy!

We’ve already seen how to add First & Last Name to the “My Account” register form. Today, I want to expand a bit and show you how to add and save a select box.

If you don’t want to assign the WooCommerce user role “customer” to new… customers, there is simple PHP that can be added to your functions.php to achieve this. Enjoy!
Continue reading WooCommerce: Change User Role for New Customers
Here’s yet another useful PHP snippet – and a mini-plugin alternative with super simple settings – that adds the Billing First Name and Billing Last Name to the Registration Form on the WooCommerce My Account page.
By default, the WooCommerce customer Registration Form only displays the email, username, and password fields (unless username and password are set to “automatically generate“, in which case only the email input field will be visible); by adding more billing and/or shipping fields to the form we can of course capture more information about each customer, so that you can do your background checks or allow them to save time at their next purchase.
Either way, enjoy!

One of the features of Bloomer Armada is the provision of Premium WooCommerce Q&A Support to supporters who enroll. So, how to add an extra “tab” to the My Account page, and how to add content inside it?
Here’s the code I used (thanks to Mike Jolley for inspiration) – feel free to leave a comment below if you found this tutorial useful 🙂

Hey WooCustomizers, the Visual Hook Guide is back 🙂
In this episode, I’ve created a visual HTML hook guide for the WooCommerce Account Pages (there are multiple pages such as the My Account as logged in user, My Account as logged out, etc). This visual guide belongs to my “Visual Hook Guide Series“, that I’ve put together so that you can find WooCommerce hooks quickly and easily by seeing their actual locations – and you can also copy & paste in seconds unlike other “hook sniffer plugins” out there. Let me know in the comments what you think about this resource!
Enjoy!

A WooCommerce Customization client wanted to add some text above the “Login” and “Register” boxes on the My Account page. Understandably, users may need a bit of an explanation before they take action. Here’s how you do it!
