 * Hi all,
 * with the last major update of Woocommerce the ‘my account’ page altered and I’d
   love to do some changes to it. There’s a function called ‘wc_get_account_menu_items’
   which displays menu items. One of these items I’d like to remove but don’t know
   how.
 * I tried a filter hook but was’nt successful.
 * The function looks like the following:
 *     ```
       /**
        * Get My Account menu items.
        *
        * @since 2.6.0
        * @return array
        */
       function wc_get_account_menu_items() {
       	$endpoints = array(
       		'orders'          => get_option( 'woocommerce_myaccount_orders_endpoint', 'orders' ),
       		'downloads'       => get_option( 'woocommerce_myaccount_downloads_endpoint', 'downloads' ),
       		'edit-address'    => get_option( 'woocommerce_myaccount_edit_address_endpoint', 'edit-address' ),
       		'payment-methods' => get_option( 'woocommerce_myaccount_payment_methods_endpoint', 'payment-methods' ),
       		'edit-account'    => get_option( 'woocommerce_myaccount_edit_account_endpoint', 'edit-account' ),
       		'customer-logout' => get_option( 'woocommerce_logout_endpoint', 'customer-logout' ),
       	);
   
       	$items = array(
       		'dashboard'       => __( 'Dashboard', 'woocommerce' ),
       		'orders'          => __( 'Orders', 'woocommerce' ),
       		'downloads'       => __( 'Downloads', 'woocommerce' ),
       		'edit-address'    => __( 'Addresses', 'woocommerce' ),
       		'payment-methods' => __( 'Payment Methods', 'woocommerce' ),
       		'edit-account'    => __( 'Account Details', 'woocommerce' ),
       		'customer-logout' => __( 'Logout', 'woocommerce' ),
       	);
   
       	// Remove missing endpoints.
       	foreach ( $endpoints as $endpoint_id => $endpoint ) {
       		if ( empty( $endpoint ) ) {
       			unset( $items[ $endpoint_id ] );
       		}
       	}
   
       	// Check if payment gateways support add new payment methods.
       	if ( isset( $items['payment-methods'] ) ) {
       		$support_payment_methods = false;
       		foreach ( WC()->payment_gateways->get_available_payment_gateways() as $gateway ) {
       			if ( $gateway->supports( 'add_payment_method' ) || $gateway->supports( 'tokenization' ) ) {
       				$support_payment_methods = true;
       				break;
       			}
       		}
   
       		if ( ! $support_payment_methods ) {
       			unset( $items['payment-methods'] );
       		}
       	}
   
       	return apply_filters( 'woocommerce_account_menu_items', $items );
       }
       ```
   
 * From the array ‘$items’ I’d like to remove the ‘downloads’.
 * Any ideas?
 * Thank you so much for any of your replies!!

 * All you need to do is to go to the WordPress Dashboard. There, go to Woocommerce–
   Settings – Account and in the list of Account End points delete Download in the
   text field.
    This empty field is a signal to WordPress to ignore it and it will
   be automatically eliminated from the menu list.
