    Hi,

    When the user clicks on ‘Apply to become a vendor’ button it takes them to the Pro Dashboard. I would like to route them to a custom page that gives them a little bit of info on to set everything up.

    Is this possible?

    Kind regards,

    Clive

    Hello Clive,
    (this is actually relevant to your other forum post here as well: https://www.wcvendors.com/help/topic/add-product-to-be-displayed-in-tab/)
    I’m working on a filter for this but so far it has not worked properly.. if you see this file:
    plugins/wc-vendors-pro/public/class-wcvendors-pro-vendor-controller.php
    line 871:

    				wp_safe_redirect( apply_filters( 'wcv_register_vendor_url', get_permalink( $dashboard_page_id ) ) );

    It would be that redirect that would need to be changed. The $dashboard_page_id is defined as $dashboard_page_id = WCVendors_Pro::get_option( 'dashboard_page_id' ); and you would need it to point instead to your URL.

    A workaround option: perhaps you could add a notice to the vendor dashboard with a link to your Get Started page? Wp admin > WooCommerce > WC Vendors > Pro: Vendor Dashboard Notice
    You could add a message there with links to your tutorials…
    I’ll see if I can get that redirect working, but so far my filter is not doing anything, so I likely need to alter it in another fashion so that it is update safe. Otherwise it’d need to be changed within the core code by defining the $dashboard_page_id as the URL on your site where you have the get started tutorial.

    Hi Anna,

    Thanks! That hack worked well, just created a new $ and pointed it to the getting started tabbed page.

    Would you know the page/post ID of the /dashboard/product/edit/ & the /dashboard/settings/ ‘Bank Details’ tab

    Once I have this I ‘should’ be able to display the relevant info in the tabbed step-by-step setup guide that will hopefully get customers up and running with posting their first item to sell.

    I have attached images.

    Thanks again.

    Clive
