Hi,

I used the code below to unset the dashboard tab in my account page –>

add_filter ( ‘woocommerce_account_menu_items’, ‘remove_my_account_items’ );
function remove_my_account_items( $menu_links ){
unset( $menu_links[‘dashboard’] );
return $menu_links;
}

but I can still see the content of this tab (From your account dashboard you can view……), when I go to my account page.

I want redirect the user to their Orders screen.
where I can find the code for this?

Thank you

You can use the Redirection plugin:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/redirection/

Redirect:
http://www.my-domain.com/shop/my-account/
to
http://www.my-domain.com/shop/my-account/orders/

You will still need your code snippet to remove the Dashboard menu tab.

Hi,

Thank you very much for your answer.

I know about the plugin, but I don’t to use a plugin for this. That’s why I asked for the code for functions if someone can help me.

Can’t help with that method, but, consider a redirect in .htaccess:
Redirect /path/to/old/file/old.html http://www.example.com/new/file/new.html

Right, so you are removing the link from the menu, but the page is still there if you go to the URL. The “dashboard” is just the default area when visiting the My Account page, it’s not a special endpoint.

You’ll need a redirect like Lorro mentioned if you want customers to go straight to the orders page. Or, you could just make sure all of your links to the My Account page use the orders endpoints in them so that is where they end up first. The only way they would be on the dashboard is if they edited the URL manually.
