Hello Team,

I’m using XStore Header Builder + WooCommerce and wanted some guidance on the recommended XStore-side approach for a login flow.

Current Setup

WooCommerce is used as the main user/account system

The My Account page is a standard WooCommerce page ([woocommerce_my_account])

Header uses XStore “My Account” element

Logged out → shows Sign In

Logged in → shows My Account

This part works as expected

Requirement

Instead of:

Showing inline login on the My Account page
or
Redirecting to a separate login page

I want to:

Show only a “Sign In” link / button in the header

On click, open a custom login popup (handled by a third-party plugin – implementation details out of scope)

After successful login, redirect user to WooCommerce My Account

Keep WooCommerce as the single source of truth for:

Account

Addresses

Orders

Challenge

The XStore My Account header element already has built-in click behavior (inline login / redirect), so when using a popup-based login, the click is effectively handled twice.

I would like to know:

Is there a recommended way in XStore to:

Render the My Account element as a plain link / button

Disable or bypass the default inline login behavior

Hello @anoop,

Thank you for your question. We recommend exploring the functionality of Elementor Popups, which can be triggered manually. Dynamic links can use the Popup Action to open or close a popup. Forms can use the Actions After Submit option to open or close a popup. Any element can use a unique selector (class, ID, or data-element) to manually trigger a popup when that element is clicked. You can find more information in the documentation: https://elementor.com/help/popups/#:~:text=or%20re%2Dentered.-,Control,-Popup%20Via%20Manual

Also, you can configure the My Account widget element to be displayed only under specific conditions (for logged-in customers only) and set a custom text or button widget that will call the login popup to be shown only for non-logged-in customers. Please note that these conditions may not work correctly if hard caching is enabled on your website. More information is available here: https://elementor.com/help/show-and-hide-elements-on-a-page-display-conditions/

Hi Team,
Thanks for the details.
I did implement the popup login using plugin: Login & Register Customizer (XootiX). It works fine on a page created, but does not work on home page.

Setup Overview

User system: WooCommerce default My Account
Login popup plugin: Login & Register Customizer (XootiX)
Cache plugin: LiteSpeed Cache (fully tested disabled)

XootiX is used only for login popup UI.
WooCommerce handles account, address, and orders.

Expected Behavior

Clicking Login in the header should open a popup
After login, user is redirected to WooCommerce My Account
Same behavior on all pages, including Home

Actual Behavior
Test Page – works fine
Home page – Does NOT work

Important:
The same header template is used across all pages.

Confirmed Working Baseline

Popup works correctly when the trigger shortcode is placed inside a normal page body.

Popup container is loaded globally via footer.

Header login works on all inner pages.

So the plugin and shortcodes themselves are confirmed working.

Exact Shortcodes Used
Footer (global – required for popup container)
[xoo_el_pop]

Header (login trigger)
[xoo_el_action type="login" change_to="logout"]

Troubleshooting Already Done

✔ Plugin validation

Popup works when placed inside a page body
Popup container (xoo-el-container) exists in page source
No JavaScript console errors
Plugin reinstalled and re-tested

LiteSpeed Cache fully ruled out

I tested all of the following, with cache purged and incognito testing:

Disabled JS Minify
Disabled JS Combine
Disabled JS Combine External & Inline
JS Deferred already OFF

Added exclusions in:

JS Excludes
JS Deferred / Delayed Excludes
Guest Mode JS Excludes

xoo
xootix
xoo-el
easy-login

Result: No change
Popup still fails only on homepage.

I contacted plugin support and they want me to validate it with theme support for homepage-specific JS lifecycle or DOM replacement behavior. Could you please let me know if something needs to be adjusted from theme side

Please contact administrator
for this information.

Hello @anoop,

We have noticed that the plugin you are using activates its functionality only when the corresponding content is placed within the page content. When a page includes the “xoo-el-pop-sc” login content, the login triggers from the header or other areas work correctly. We also attempted to place the shortcode in the footer, but it did not work successfully.

In this case, you can either add the shortcode [xoo_el_pop text=”{pop}Login{/pop}” type=”login”] to each page within the content, or contact the plugin’s author for advice on how to load their scripts and style assets on all pages without adding the shortcode manually.

Additionally, we recommend disabling caching during the development process, as it can make it difficult to see the changes you make on the website.

Please note that the configuration of the login popup is not related to our theme support, as it is managed by a third-party plugin. You may contact the plugin’s support team for further assistance, as we can only provide support for our own products.

Thank you for your understanding.

Best regards,
Jack Richardson
