Customize My Account dashboard welcome message

Customize the My Account dashboard message via jQuery DOM manipulation instead of a template override maintenance burden. In this example we remove the Orders verbiage and link.

add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', function() {

	if( ! function_exists( 'is_account_page' ) || ! is_account_page() ) {
		return;
	}

	wp_enqueue_script( 'jquery' );

	wp_add_inline_script( 'jquery', '

		jQuery( document ).ready( function( $ ) {

			// Settings, For Example Removing Orders Links
			var to_replace = /view your (.*) manage your/;
			var replace_with = "manage your";

			// Apply
			var element = $( "div.woocommerce-MyAccount-content" );
			element.html( element.html().replace( to_replace, replace_with ) );

		} );

	', 'after' );

} );
