WooCommerce: Add Custom Page @ WordPress Admin Dashboard

If you’re developing custom WooCommerce documentation, reporting or functionalities for your clients, you probably also need to add a new “page” and a new “sidebar link” to the WordPress Admin Dashboard.

This is a very interesting topic and in the same way you can hide elements such as metaboxes, you can also add new ones. In my case, I had to implement a custom, admin-only form to enable product recommendations. Enjoy 🙂

Where to add custom code?

You should place custom PHP in functions.php and custom CSS in style.css of your child theme: where to place WooCommerce customization?

This code still works, unless you report otherwise. To exclude conflicts, temporarily switch to the Storefront theme, disable all plugins except WooCommerce, and test the snippet again: WooCommerce troubleshooting 101
