# Configuring the Correct Settings

## Ensure that the My Account page is using the correct template:

1. Navigate to your **Dashboard > Pages** and locate the **My Account** page.
   - If you don't have a My Account page, create a new page and name it, for example: **My Account**. Then, add the following shortcode to the page content:
     `[woocommerce_my_account]`
2. If you already have the My Account page or have just created it, edit the page and set the **Template** to **WooCommerce – My Account** like the image below.
