Woocommerce – alter a function

Hi all,

with the last major update of Woocommerce the ‘my account’ page altered and I’d love to do some changes to it. There’s a function called ‘wc_get_account_menu_items’ which displays menu items. One of these items I’d like to remove but don’t know how.

I tried a filter hook but was’nt successful.

The function looks like the following:

/**
 * Get My Account menu items.
 *
 * @since 2.6.0
 * @return array
 */
function wc_get_account_menu_items() {
	$endpoints = array(
		'orders'          => get_option( 'woocommerce_myaccount_orders_endpoint', 'orders' ),
		'downloads'       => get_option( 'woocommerce_myaccount_downloads_endpoint', 'downloads' ),
		'edit-address'    => get_option( 'woocommerce_myaccount_edit_address_endpoint', 'edit-address' ),
		'payment-methods' => get_option( 'woocommerce_myaccount_payment_methods_endpoint', 'payment-methods' ),
		'edit-account'    => get_option( 'woocommerce_myaccount_edit_account_endpoint', 'edit-account' ),
		'customer-logout' => get_option( 'woocommerce_logout_endpoint', 'customer-logout' ),
	);

	$items = array(
		'dashboard'       => __( 'Dashboard', 'woocommerce' ),
		'orders'          => __( 'Orders', 'woocommerce' ),
		'downloads'       => __( 'Downloads', 'woocommerce' ),
		'edit-address'    => __( 'Addresses', 'woocommerce' ),
		'payment-methods' => __( 'Payment Methods', 'woocommerce' ),
		'edit-account'    => __( 'Account Details', 'woocommerce' ),
		'customer-logout' => __( 'Logout', 'woocommerce' ),
	);

	// Remove missing endpoints.
	foreach ( $endpoints as $endpoint_id => $endpoint ) {
		if ( empty( $endpoint ) ) {
			unset( $items[ $endpoint_id ] );
		}
	}

	// Check if payment gateways support add new payment methods.
	if ( isset( $items['payment-methods'] ) ) {
		$support_payment_methods = false;
		foreach ( WC()->payment_gateways->get_available_payment_gateways() as $gateway ) {
			if ( $gateway->supports( 'add_payment_method' ) || $gateway->supports( 'tokenization' ) ) {
				$support_payment_methods = true;
				break;
			}
		}

		if ( ! $support_payment_methods ) {
			unset( $items['payment-methods'] );
		}
	}

	return apply_filters( 'woocommerce_account_menu_items', $items );
}

From the array ‘$items’ I’d like to remove the ‘downloads’.

Any ideas?

Thank you so much for any of your replies!!
