How Do I Add a Login Page to WooCommerce?

Last updated on January 21, 2023 @ 11:22 am

Adding a login page to WooCommerce is a great way to increase security and protect your online store. There are two ways to add a login page to WooCommerce: by using a plugin or by adding the code yourself.

If you’re using a plugin, there are many great options available. One of our favorites is the Login Page Customizer Plugin. This plugin allows you to easily customize the look and feel of your login page, including adding your own logo, changing the background color, and more.

If you’re comfortable editing code, you can also add a login page to WooCommerce by adding the following code to your functions.php file:

PRO TIP: We strongly recommend that you do not attempt to add a login page to WooCommerce as it could adversely affect the security and stability of your site. If you are unsure about how to proceed, please seek professional help.
function my_login_page() {
  $page_id = WooCommerce_get_page_id( 'my-account' );
  $page_url = get_permalink( $page_id );

    if ( is_user_logged_in() ) {
      wp_redirect( $page_url );
      exit;  
    }
  wp_redirect( $page_url . '?wc-login=true' );
  exit;  
}
add_action( 'template_redirect', 'my_login_page' );

This code redirects users who are not logged in to the login page of the my-account page of your WooCommerce store. If the user is already logged in, they will be redirected to the my-account page.

Please note, as mentioned before, adding code to your functions.php file can have serious effects on your site’s stability and security. So, be sure to test this code thoroughly on a staging environment and backup your site, before applying to a live environment.
