[woocommerce_my_account] not working

    I have added the [woocommerce_my_account] shortcode to my BuddyPress general.php file, so the user will be able to edit their billing and shipping addresses from their BuddyPress profiles. This used to work, but somewhere along the line, I’m not sure which update it was, but the shortcode now isn’t working properly. When I click “edit” on either my shipping or billing address, it simply refreshes the page or kicks me back to the home page.

    It looks like the shortcode is working, as it adds the headers for Billing & Shipping Addresses, when there were none before, but the Edit buttons just aren’t working anymore. Has there been a change in the configuration settings that I need to account for in order to make this work again?

    The link it adds are “[my url]/edit-address/billing” and “[my url]/edit-address/shipping”. When I check those links by typing them into my address bar, they give me 404 pages. When I check the settings in my WooCommerce plugin, under Accounts tab > My Account Endpoints > Edit Address, it has “edit-address” listed, so you would think that the link would work.

    I have not created a WordPress Page called “edit-address” or even one called “my-account”, as it worked before without needing those. Has that now changed?

    I’m not familiar enough with BuddyPress to say for certain, but those edit endpoints work with ‘pages’ – if general.php is not a ‘page’ then WordPress may not recognise the permalink. Perhaps you can pose this question to some Buddypress users to see how general.php works in comparison.

    I figured it out. I was able to use the shortcode in general.php from BuddyPress, but in order to do that I had to:

    1. Create a page (I made the link: /editaddress) in WordPress where I also used the [woocommerce-my-account] shortcode
    2. Make a copy of my-address.php into my theme folder for WooCommerce and update the Edit link code (line 45) to the following:
    <a href="<?php echo wc_get_endpoint_url( 'editaddress/edit-address', $name ); ?>" class="edit"><?php _e( 'Edit', 'woocommerce' ); ?></a>

    That allowed anyone who clicked on the address Edit link from the BuddyPress profile to be redirected to /editaddress/edit-address/billing (or /shipping depending on which Edit link was clicked) and make changes to their address.

    The problem was the wc_get_endpoint_url in WooCommerce wasn’t talking nicely to BuddyPress, as all the BuddyPress directories and pages weren’t being found by WooCommerce. It would instead just go to the Home page because it didn’t know what to tag the ‘edit-address/billing’ onto. So by making a WordPress page that WooCommerce did understand, I was able to allow people to still view their addresses in their BuddyPress profiles and edit them through this intermediate page (in a way that is seamless to the end user).
