PRO TIP: If you are planning on making changes to your WooCommerce template files, it is important to first create a backup of your site. Additionally, you should always test your changes on a staging site before making them live. Making changes to your WooCommerce template files can break your site if not done carefully.

How to Edit WooCommerce Template Files?

Warning: Editing theme files is risky because if you make a mistake, it can break your site. That is why we recommend that you create a child theme before editing any template files.

1. Create a Child Theme:

1. - A child theme is a theme that inherits its functionality from another theme, called the parent theme.
  - Creating a child theme is recommended because if you make any changes to your parent theme, they will be lost when you update it.
  - To learn more about child themes, please see our article on how to create a WordPress child theme.

Once you have created a child theme, you can start editing the template files.

1. Edit Template Files:

1. 1. Simply open the template file that you want to edit and make your changes.
  2. Once you are done making changes, click on the “Update File” button to save your changes.

That’s all there is to it. If you are not comfortable editing template files, then we recommend that you hire a developer to help you.

We hope this article helped you learn how to edit WooCommerce templates.
