Dokan Disable Vendor Registration: 3 Easy Steps to Remove Vendor Registration Button

Before showing you how to disable or hide the vendor registration button from a customer's my account section, let us show you what it looks like on a customer my account page.

Actually, hiding the “Become a Vendor” button is very easy than you think. You may be wondering if we are going to remove the code altogether for removing the button. Hell, no! Removing coding is always a bad idea, as they are interconnected. You remove a function here, and it can affect other functions as well.

Instead of removing any code, we are going to share a simple 2 lines of code that you can add to get your job done. Yes, it's that easy.

So, let's get started!

Step 1: Create a Child Theme

You can directly apply these changes to your main theme. That being said, it's always a better idea to edit the child theme. Because if the situation is out of your hand, it won't affect your main site. So, our suggestion is to apply this experiment to the child theme.

If you don't have a child theme ready in the first place, create a child theme now. Then follow this tutorial.

Creating a child theme is not rocket science. You can do it all by yourself by following proper guidelines. You can follow our step-by-step guide to create a child theme for you. Also, there are plugins in the WordPress repository to create a child theme with ease. You can use any child theme generator plugin to get your job done.

Step 2: Copy the Code in the Child Theme's function.php File

After creating the child theme, access the function.php file to edit the file.

Go to finder or folders and navigate to WP-Content–> Themes–> Your Child Theme Name–> Open functions.php file.

If you're editing the main theme, navigate to WP-Content–> Themes–> Theme Name –> Open functions.php file.

Now copy the below code and paste it to the bottom of the functions.php file.

remove_action( 'woocommerce_after_my_account', array( Dokan_Pro::init(), 'dokan_account_migration_button' ) );

Note: Apart from the Dokan Pro version, we have added the “Become a Vendor” button to the Dokan Lite version as well. So, if you are using the latest Dokan Lite version (3.7.21 or later), you'll see this button on the customer's my account page while using the Dokan free version.

For the latest version, use the below-mentioned code:

remove_action( 'woocommerce_after_my_account', [ dokan()->frontend_manager->become_a_vendor, 'render_become_a_vendor_section' ], 10 );

Step 3: Save the Code and Refresh Your Site

After you paste and save the code, log in to a test customer's account and refresh the website. You will see that the “Become a Vendor” button has disappeared.

This is how you can easily remove or hide the vendor registration button in Dokan.
