Adding custom endpoints to WooCommerce is a great way to add extra functionality to your online store. By default, WooCommerce comes with a few basic endpoints, such as “my-account” and “checkout”.
However, if you want to add more endpoints, such as “edit-address” or “view-order”, you can do so by adding a few lines of code to your theme’s functions.php file.
In order to add a custom endpoint, you first need to register it using the add_rewrite_endpoint() function. This function takes two parameters: the name of the endpoint and the URL structure for the endpoint. For example, if you wanted to add an endpoint called “edit-address”, you would use the following code:
add_rewrite_endpoint( 'edit-address', EP_PERMALINK | EP_PAGES );Once you have registered your endpoint, you need to tell WordPress what content to display when someone visits that URL. This is done by hooking into the template_include filter and checking if the current URL is for your custom endpoint.
If it is, you can then load a custom template file that contains the content for your endpoint. For example, if your custom endpoint was called “edit-address”, you would use the following code:
add_filter( 'template_include', 'my_custom_endpoint_template', 99 );
function my_custom_endpoint_template( $template )
{global $wp;
if ( isset( $wp->query_vars['edit-address'] ) ) {
$template = locate_template( 'my-custom-endpoint-template.php' );}
return $template; }Once you have added this code to your functions.php file, don’t forget to save and upload it to your server. Then, visit the WordPress Permalinks page (Settings » Permalinks) and click the “Save Changes” button. This will flush the rewrite rules and make sure that your new endpoint is working properly.
Conclusion:
By following the steps above, you can easily add custom endpoints to WooCommerce. This can be a great way to add extra functionality to your online store without having to write any extra code.
