Add a new custom tab on the WooCommerce account page

Heads up! This article contains PHP code and is intended for developers. If you want to add new custom tabs on the WooCommerce account page without any code, I recommend checking out the Customize My Account Page for WooCommerce Plugin. The plugin allows you to add any number of custom tabs, sort tabs, customize design, and more.

WooCommerce by default adds the following items to the account page:

• Dashboard
• Orders
• Downloads
• Addresses
• Account details
• Logout

If you want to add a new item to the WooCommerce account page, you can use the following ready-to-use 4 code snippets in your theme’s (preferably child theme’s) functions.php file. Note that you’ll need to add all 4 code snippets below. Categorization is only for readability. Here are other ways of adding custom code snippets to your site.

1. Registering new item endpoint

* Change “new_item” and “new-item” to your preferred item name.

add_action( 'init', 'register_new_item_endpoint');

/**
 * Register New Endpoint.
 *
 * @return void.
 */
function register_new_item_endpoint() {
	add_rewrite_endpoint( 'new-item', EP_ROOT | EP_PAGES );
}

2. Query Vars

* Change “new_item” and “new-item” to your preferred item name.

add_filter( 'query_vars', 'new_item_query_vars' );

/**
 * Add new query var.
 *
 * @param array $vars vars.
 *
 * @return array An array of items.
 */
function new_item_query_vars( $vars ) {

	$vars[] = 'new-item';
	return $vars;
}

3. Add New Item

* Change “new_item”, “new-item”, “New Item” to your preferred item name.

add_filter( 'woocommerce_account_menu_items', 'add_new_item_tab' );

/**
 * Add New tab in my account page.
 *
 * @param array $items myaccount Items.
 *
 * @return array Items including New tab.
 */
function add_new_item_tab( $items ) {

	$items['new-item'] = 'New Item';
	return $items;
}

4. Add Contents To The New Item

* Change “new_item” and “New Item Contents here!” to your preferred item and its contents.

add_action( 'woocommerce_account_new-item_endpoint', 'add_new_item_content' );

/**
 * Add content to the new tab.
 *
 * @return  string.
 */
function add_new_item_content() {
	echo 'New Item Contents here!';
}

Once you’ve added these snippets, make sure to refresh the permalinks by going to Settings > Permalinks.

That’s it. I hope you found this helpful.

If you want to add a ‘Delete Account’ tab on the accounts page to allow users to delete their own accounts, you do not need to use any code snippets. There’s a built-in plugin WP Frontend Delete Account for you and more details on how to allow users to delete their own accounts.

FAQ

How can I reorder WooCommerce account items?

/**
 * Reorder account items.
 * 
 * @return array Ordered Items.
 */
function reorder_account_menu( $items ) {
    return array(
	        'dashboard'          => __( 'Dashboard', 'woocommerce' ),
	        'orders'             => __( 'Orders', 'woocommerce' ),
	        'downloads'          => __( 'Downloads', 'woocommerce' ),
	        'edit-account'       => __( 'Edit Account', 'woocommerce' ),
	        'new-item'           => __( 'New Item', 'woocommerce' ),
	        'edit-address'       => __( 'Addresses', 'woocommerce' ),
	        'customer-logout'    => __( 'Logout', 'woocommerce' ),
    );

}
add_filter ( 'woocommerce_account_menu_items', 'reorder_account_menu' );

This puts “New Item” before the “Edit Addresses” and “Logout” Items.

How can I remove WooCommerce account items?

The same filter hook “woocommerce_account_menu_items” can be used to remove the WooCommerce account items. Following is the example of disabling the Edit Account tab.

 */
function remove_edit_account_tab( $items ) {

    unset( $items['edit-account'] );
    return $items;
}
add_filter ( 'woocommerce_account_menu_items', 'remove_edit_account_tab' );

If you want to remove other items, check their endpoints above.
