Edits to woocommerce.php not reflecting on site

[arrowmultimedia]

As the title states, trying to replace woocommerce shop page with the grid. I have a child theme set up and moved woocommerce.php to framework/views/integrity in the child theme.

Any edits I make to that file do not appear in the live site so it’s clearly being overridden somewhere.

How do I figure out where that file is being overridden and fix the issue?

Thanks!

Hello There,

I have logged in and checked your site. Your changes will not work. I have review the instructions and you are modifying the incorrect file. It should be archive-product.php file. Please create a new file in your computer and insert this code:

<?php
/**
 * The Template for displaying product archives, including the main shop page which is a post type archive
 *
 * This template can be overridden by copying it to yourtheme/woocommerce/archive-product.php.
 *
 * HOWEVER, on occasion WooCommerce will need to update template files and you
 * (the theme developer) will need to copy the new files to your theme to
 * maintain compatibility. We try to do this as little as possible, but it does
 * happen. When this occurs the version of the template file will be bumped and
 * the readme will list any important changes.
 *
 * @see https://docs.woocommerce.com/document/template-structure/
 * @package WooCommerce/Templates
 * @version 3.4.0

do_action( 'woocommerce_before_main_content' );

Save this file as archive-product.php and upload this file in your child theme wp-content/themes/x-child/woocommerce/archive-product.php.

Thanks, but still having the same problem. No changes are being reflected in the live shop.

Additionally, there’s this line at the bottom of the woocommerce status:

Your theme has a woocommerce.php file, you will not be able to override the woocommerce/archive-product.php custom template since woocommerce.php has priority over archive-product.php. This is intended to prevent display issues.

This was the reason I was trying to edit the woocommerce.php rather than the archive-product.php

Hi @arrowmultimedia,

Yes, that template woocommerce.php is the one, any other taxonomy template of woocommerce will not work.

Though, question is how do you implement the grid? Because in Woocommerce, it’s not just a template but hooks too. Like product items and loops, I recommend contacting a developer on this kind of customization.

X woocommerce templates are just wrappers and design to match it graphically, but the internal working and processing is still controlled by Woocommerce.

Thanks!
