Add manuals etc. to downloads in my account

Hi @isabella92

The Downloads tab on “my account” page is for managing customer downloads, not for uploading files.

However, if you want to share manuals, logos etc, you can share them as a digital product, or create a page and simply upload and insert those assets on that page.

I hope this helps! Please let us know how it goes or if you need further assistance.

Oh I see! I did not realize that. Is there no other way to put manuals etc. in my account other than making them into products? Like just uploading the pdfs etc. in the media library, then linking to them in /downloads? Or is there no easy way to customize what that “page” looks like?

Thanks ??

Hello @isabella92,

Like just uploading the pdfs etc. in the media library, then linking to them in /downloads? Or is there no easy way to customize what that “page” looks like?

Just to confirm we’re on the same page: you’re looking to add specific content visible to all customers in the downloads tab within the ‘My Account’ page, correct?

You can find several WooCommerce action hooks for this section of the my-account page illustrated in the following guide: WooCommerce Visual Hook Guide for Account Pages

Let’s take the first hook as an example to add some dummy text that redirects to a manual PDF.

add_action( 'woocommerce_before_available_downloads', 'display_pdf_link' );

function display_pdf_link() {
    // Replace 'your-pdf-file.pdf' with the actual file name and path
    $pdf_url = 'https://www.w3.org/WAI/ER/tests/xhtml/testfiles/resources/pdf/dummy.pdf';
    
    echo '<p>You can find our guide by clicking <a href="' . esc_url( $pdf_url ) . '" target="_blank">this link</a>.</p>';
}
