Adding a tab to your WooCommerce account is a great way to keep track of your orders and products. There are two ways to do this:

1. Add a tab by going to your WooCommerce Account Settings.

To do this, go to your WordPress Dashboard and hover over the WooCommerce link in the left-hand menu. Then, click on Settings. On the Settings page, click on the Accounts & Privacy tab. Next, scroll down to the bottom of the page and find the Add New Tab section.

In the Tab Name field, enter the name of the tab you want to add. Then, in the Tab Content field, enter the content you want to display in the tab. Finally, click on the Save Changes button.

2. Add a tab by adding code to your functions.php file.

If you’re comfortable with code, you can add a tab to your WooCommerce account by adding a few lines of code to your theme’s functions. First, you’ll need to add a filter to register the new tab. Add this code to your functions.php file:

<?php
add_filter( 'woocommerce_account_menu_items', 'my_new_menu_item' );
function my_new_menu_item( $items ) {
  $items['my-new-tab'] = __( 'My New Tab', 'textdomain' );
  return $items;
}
?>

Next, you’ll need to add some code to display the content of your new tab.php file:

<?php
add_action( 'woocommerce_account_my-new-tab_endpoint', 'my_new_tab_content' );
function my_new_tab_content() {
  echo '<h2>My New Tab Content</h2>';
  echo 'This is the content of my new tab.';
}
?>
PRO TIP: If you are not careful, adding a tab to your WooCommerce account can result in losing all of your data. Make sure to back up your account before proceeding.

Conclusion:

Adding a tab to your WooCommerce account is a great way keep track of orders and products. There are two ways to do this: by going into account settings or adding code to functions.php.
