Displays Woocommerce My Account Orders instead of Dashboard

I am trying to make it so that the url.com/my-account or the shortcode [woocommerce_my_account] displays the orders instead of the dashboard that displays “Hello User (not user)?”.

The only thing I have is for after logging in which redirects to the orders instead of the dashboard, but I then going to the /my-account still displays the dashboard which I don’t want.

The closest code I found that does what I want is…

function woocommerce_orders() {
    $user_id = get_current_user_id();
    if ($user_id == 0) {
         return do_shortcode('[woocommerce_my_account]'); 
    }else{
        ob_start();
        wc_get_template( 'myaccount/my-orders.php', array(
            'current_user'  => get_user_by( 'id', $user_id),
            'order_count'   => $order_count
         ) );
        return ob_get_clean();
    }

}
add_shortcode('woocommerce_orders', 'woocommerce_orders');

However, if there are no orders placed then it comes out blank(doesn’t display the “No order has been made yet.” with shop button) and the my account nav-sidebar doesn’t show up. Would I have to make a custom page-template for this to add in the woocommerce account nav-sidebar?

Edit: If I use the orders.php instead of my-orders.php then I am able to get the “No order has been made yet.” But still no sidebar-nav

You could try the following code (that is not perfect as it removes the access to the dashboard):

add_action( 'woocommerce_account_content', 'remove_dashboard_account_default', 5 );
function remove_dashboard_account_default() {
    remove_action( 'woocommerce_account_content', 'woocommerce_account_content', 10 );
    add_action( 'woocommerce_account_content', 'custom_account_orders', 10 );
}


function custom_account_orders( $current_page ) {
    global $wp;

    if ( ! empty( $wp->query_vars ) ) {
        foreach ( $wp->query_vars as $key => $value ) {
            // Ignore pagename param.
            if ( 'pagename' === $key ) {
                continue;
            }

            if ( has_action( 'woocommerce_account_' . $key . '_endpoint' ) ) {
                do_action( 'woocommerce_account_' . $key . '_endpoint', $value );
                return;
            }
        }
    }

    $current_page    = empty( $current_page ) ? 1 : absint( $current_page );
    $customer_orders = wc_get_orders( apply_filters( 'woocommerce_my_account_my_orders_query', array(
        'customer' => get_current_user_id(),
        'page'     => $current_page,
        'paginate' => true,
    ) ) );

    wc_get_template(
        'myaccount/orders.php',
        array(
            'current_page'    => absint( $current_page ),
            'customer_orders' => $customer_orders,
            'has_orders'      => 0 < $customer_orders->total,
        )
    );
}

Code goes in function.php file of your active child theme (or active theme). Tested and work.
