WordPress.com Account Column

Hi @auditt

I understand how that could be confusing — I checked on a test site as well, and I can confirm that the “WordPress.com Account” column is indeed added by WooCommerce. Since WooCommerce manages customer accounts, this column simply shows whether a customer (or user) on your site has their account connected to WordPress.com.

If you’d prefer not to see it in your Users list, you can easily hide it:

1. While on the Users page in your WordPress dashboard, click on the Screen Options tab in the top right corner.
2. In the panel that opens, uncheck the box for WordPress.com account.
3. Click Apply and the column will no longer appear.

This way, the data is still there for WooCommerce to use, but it won’t clutter up your Users screen.

Let me know if you’d like to explore removing it with custom code, but for most cases hiding it through Screen Options is the simplest solution.

Hi there!

Thanks for getting back to us! Out of curiosity, could you share why you’d like to remove the column using custom code instead of simply hiding it from the Screen Options tab by unchecking the box for “WordPress.com account”? That’s usually the quickest and safest way to manage it.

If you want to hide that column using custom CSS code, please note that we don’t provide support for writing or maintaining custom CSS. I can recommend WooExperts and Codeable.io as options for getting professional help. Alternatively, you can also ask your development questions in the  WooCommerce Community Slack as custom code falls outside our usual scope of support.

Hi @auditt,

Thanks again for sharing your thoughts! Your concern is completely valid, especially when managing client sites where clarity and simplicity are essential.

To clarify the purpose of the WordPress.com Account column: WooCommerce integrates with Jetpack’s extensive security and infrastructure features to help protect stores more effectively. This integration, which includes tools like backups, brute force protection, and secure authentication, requires a connected WordPress.com account to function.

That said, we understand that not every store owner or developer wants this feature visible, especially if it’s not relevant to their workflow. That’s why we’ve made it optional: you can hide the column via Screen Options, or remove it entirely using custom code.

As @shahzeenfarooq mentioned earlier, we don’t provide support for writing or maintaining custom code. However, since you’d like to pursue that route, you can work with a developer or explore platforms like Codeable.io, Upwork or WooExperts to get tailored assistance.

Thanks again for raising this so thoughtfully, and let us know if you need anything else.
