Description
Drop [show_wc_orders] into any page, post or widget area that renders shortcodes, and the logged-in customer sees their own orders: order number, date, status, total and a View button — the same table WooCommerce shows under My Account > Orders.
Usage:
[show_wc_orders] shows all of the customer's orders.
[show_wc_orders order_count=10] shows the 10 most recent orders — replace 10 with any number.
That is all. There are no settings.
Details:
- Each visitor only ever sees their own orders. Logged-out visitors see nothing.
- The table is rendered through WooCommerce’s own My Account orders template, so your theme’s styling — and any theme override or column filter you already use for My Account — applies to the shortcode too.
- Works with both classic order storage and High-Performance Order Storage (HPOS).

FAQ
-
Which orders are shown?
-
The orders of the currently logged-in customer, newest first. Logged-out visitors see nothing — there is no way to view another customer’s orders through this shortcode.
-
The table was empty on my store — is that fixed?
-
Yes. Version 1.1.0 read orders from the legacy post storage, so on stores using High-Performance Order Storage (the WooCommerce default since 8.2) it rendered nothing. 1.2.0 queries orders through the storage-agnostic WooCommerce API and works on both storage modes.
-
Can I change the columns or styling?
-
The shortcode renders WooCommerce’s own
myaccount/orders.phptemplate. Anything that customises the My Account orders table — a theme override of that template, or thewoocommerce_account_orders_columnsfilter — applies here as well. -
Is there pagination?
-
No. The shortcode shows the
order_countmost recent orders (all orders by default). For a paginated order history, point customers at My Account > Orders. -
Can I show a login prompt to logged-out visitors instead of nothing?
-
Not yet — the shortcode intentionally outputs nothing for guests. If you need this, ask in the support forum.

Changelog
1.2.0
- Fix: orders display again on stores using High-Performance Order Storage (HPOS, the WooCommerce default since 8.2). 1.1.0 queried the legacy post storage and rendered an empty page there.
- Improvement: the shortcode now renders the same orders table as My Account > Orders (
myaccount/orders.php) instead of a template deprecated since WooCommerce 2.6 — theme overrides and column filters for My Account now apply to the shortcode too. - Fix: no PHP fatal error when WooCommerce is deactivated while the shortcode is still in page content.
- Hardening: pages are excluded from page caching whenever the table renders (the same DONOTCACHEPAGE protection WooCommerce applies to My Account) — this customer-specific output must never enter a shared page cache.
- Hardening: refund records can never appear in the table; invalid
order_countvalues fall back to showing all orders;woocommerce_my_account_my_orders_queryfilter callbacks can no longer break the shortcode’s count or crash the page. - The “Recent orders” heading and its
woocommerce_my_account_my_orders_titlefilter are preserved from 1.1.0. - Note: the table markup now uses WooCommerce’s current classes (
woocommerce-orders-table__cell-...). Custom CSS written against the old bare cell classes (.order-numberetc.) may need updating. - Compatibility with High-Performance Order Storage declared; WooCommerce dependency declared via Requires Plugins.
- Housekeeping: License and Text Domain headers, updated minimum versions (WordPress 6.5, PHP 7.4, WooCommerce 9.5).
