Sounds great, doesn’t it? Let’s go ahead!
In order to display the WooCommerce dashboard, you’ll need to install and activate the WP Frontend Admin plugin, which helps you create frontend pages with just some clicks and without programming anything.
You can try the premium plugin on your website for free for 7 days.
Once you install and activate the plugin, please follow these simple steps:
1- Open the WooCommerce dashboard
For this, you need to go to WooCommerce > Dashboard. Pay attention that it’s not the WP dashboard.
2- View it on the frontend
To view the WooCommerce dashboard, you don’t need to program any code. You just need to click on View on the frontend, and the plugin will completely program the frontend page in just some seconds. It’s that simple.
3- Configure and publish the frontend page
Now you just need to configure the frontend page. This is really simple. Just select the page’s title, URL slug, template, and menu.
You can also hide all unnecessary elements although this dashboard doesn’t create too many of them. However, you can hide the Screen Options tab. For that, just click on Hide element and then click on the element you want to hide.
Once you’re done, click on Save to publish the frontend page.
4- Done!
One you finish configuring and publishing the page, the user will be required to login in order to see the page’s content.
Once logged in, the users will be able to see the WooCommerce dashboard on the frontend.
This is really simple and simplifies your life completely whether you’re a programmer or entrepreneur. You don’t have to program anything, just some clicks!
