Feature request: block/shortcode for dropdown menu links

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;
}
