Settings
| Setting | Default | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Hide Dashboard Tab | Off | Removes the "Dashboard" entry from the My Account menu. |
| Hide Downloads Tab | Off | Removes the "Downloads" entry from the My Account menu — useful for stores that don't sell downloadable products. |
| Auto Redirect to Orders | Off | Sends customers straight to their Orders page instead of the generic Account dashboard when they visit My Account. Requires "Hide Dashboard Tab" to also be enabled — see below. |
| Redirect After Logout | Off | Sends customers to your site's homepage after logging out, instead of WooCommerce's default behaviour. |
| Exclude Product Categories from Shop | None selected | A checkbox tree of every product category on your store. Categories you check are hidden from your main Shop page and from that category's own archive page. |
⚠ "Auto Redirect to Orders" needs "Hide Dashboard Tab" enabled too
These two settings work together — Auto Redirect to Orders only takes effect when Hide Dashboard Tab is also switched on. If you enable Auto Redirect on its own and it doesn't seem to do anything, check that Hide Dashboard Tab is enabled as well.
About excluding categories
Excluding a category here hides its products from:
- Your main Shop page
- That category's own archive page
It does not hide those products from search results or from other custom product displays elsewhere on your site (like related products, or a widget built to specifically show that category). This is intentional — it's meant for keeping a category out of general browsing, not hiding it from your store entirely.
Setting it up
- Enable whichever toggles match what you want changed.
- If you want customers redirected straight to Orders, enable both Hide Dashboard Tab and Auto Redirect to Orders together.
- For category exclusions, check the categories you want hidden from your Shop page in the tree, then save.
