Feature request: block/shortcode for dropdown menu links

Hi there, thank you for the great plugin. I’d like to request a shortcode (and optionally block) for displaying the account sidebar as a simple list of links that can be inserted in a menu for example. Apologies if there’s already one like that but I couldn’t find it.

Hello!

Usually we see people just link to /account/ as the URL and then people can click into the one they want.

I think you should be able to add any of them you want – just click on them, and copy it from the browser address bar.

Create a new menu ‘custom link’ and paste in the URL you copied.

Does that work for you?

Hi there, thank you for replying. I had thought about doing this, but I wanted it to be “dynamic” in the sense that if you add or remove or change any of the sidebar items, I wouldn’t have to change the menu I’ve manually created. Hence I wanted a shortcode/block that does the same as the full account page except it only shows the sidebar links (and ideally a login link if the user is not logged in). If you think that’s not too difficult, I’d love for this feature to be implemented 🙂

Hello,

This is a customization you can undertake if you have some developer skills.

You can create your own shortcode, uing <?php do_action( ‘uwp_account_menu_display’ ); ?> action in your shortcode. Output that to display all the account menu items. Let us know if it helps or not.

Thank you, using that action indeed solves my problem 🙂

Oh, for the record, for anyone wanting to implement this, define a custom shortcode like this (name it whatever you want obviously):
```
add_shortcode('_uwp_account_tabs', function () {
	ob_start();
	do_action('uwp_account_menu_display');
	return ob_get_clean();
});
```
And then you need some CSS overriding to make “Edit account” clickable again and to always show it as column. For example add class “profile-menu” to the parent element containing the shortcode and define:
```
.profile-menu .nav-link.active:not([data-bs-toggle='dropdown']) {
  cursor: pointer;
  pointer-events: auto;
}

.profile-menu ul {
  flex-direction: column !important;
}
```
