Hi,
I've made a big mistake, I'm afraid. People who can buy a LearnDash online course via WooCommerce, were able to check out as a guest in WooCommerce. This wasn't possible before, but an update caused the issue I guess. Anyway: I solved the issue for all new orders, but still: there are several customers who have checked out as a guest, while they must have an account to access the course.
So for those who did check out before as a guest, I want to automatically create an account based on their email addresses.
Is there a way I can run a script like this or something else, that creates accounts for all guest checkouts?
so it works, if someone makes an account , their orders will be linked, but if then logs out and make an order as a guest and then he logs in again , this order will no be linked.
Is working on the latest version of WooCommerce and Wordpress as of the date of this post at (https://www.alphaantenna.com) even though the site supporting this plugin is no longer in existence.

Hi, I've already tried that way but nothing changed, I think the plugin is not updated or there is something else to do. Maybe I should add the snippet directly on the php func. as described in the article that @bekarice did on skyverge website
