Woo-commerce edit account shortcode not working at all

Question

Current Woocommerce version under our usage is 2.5.5 I am using following shortcode inside my edit account page.

[woocommerce_edit_account]

But, my page shows home page instead of edit account page. Is some thing new now ?

They don't work anymore, they're only for Woocommerce 2.1 or less. They have been replaced with endpoints, so you would need to do something like this:

$my_account_link = get_permalink( get_option('woocommerce_myaccount_page_id') );
$edit_acount_link = $my_account_link . '/edit-account';

If the first line is too long try with this:

$my_account_link = get_bloginfo('url'). '/my-account';

You can read more information about endpoints at: https://docs.woothemes.com/document/woocommerce-endpoints-2-1/

You can put this code in a custom shortcode or in any hook/filter to do what you want. – Skatox May 10 '16 at 15:43

You can use instead the native WooCommerce function wc_customer_edit_account_url().
(It's used in woocommerce my_account.php template too).

As Skatox mention it, [woocommerce_edit_account] doesn't work anymore.

You can use it with a custom self closing shortcode:

// Paste this in the function.php file of your active child theme or theme.
function wc_customer_edit_account_shortcode( $atts ) {

    // Attributes
    $atts = shortcode_atts(
        array(
            'text' => '',
        ),
    );

    return '<a class="customer-edit-account" href="'.wc_customer_edit_account().'">'.$text.'</a>';

}
add_shortcode( 'wc_customer_edit_account', 'wc_customer_edit_account_shortcode' );

Use: [wc_customer_edit_account text="Editing my account details" /]

On my site (with WooCommerce 3.6.5) this is the code that worked for me:

// Paste this in the function.php file of your active child theme or theme.
function wc_customer_edit_account_shortcode( $atts ) {

    // Attributes
    extract( shortcode_atts( array(
                'text' => 'Edit Account' ), $atts ) );

    return '<a class="customer-edit-account" href="'.wc_customer_edit_account_url().'">'.$text.'</a>';

}
add_shortcode( 'wc_customer_edit_account', 'wc_customer_edit_account_shortcode' );

Instead of editing the function.php or even adding a child theme, I pasted it in a New Snippet using the Snippets plugin.
