Where Can I Edit WooCommerce Templates?

Last updated on October 1, 2022 @ 7:48 pm

WooCommerce is one of the most popular eCommerce platforms on the web. If you’re running a WooCommerce store, you may be wondering where you can edit WooCommerce templates. The good news is that there are a few different places you can do this.

One of the first places you can look to edit WooCommerce templates is in the WordPress dashboard. To access this, simply log into your WordPress site and then go to Appearance > Editor.

From here, you’ll be able to select which template file you want to edit from the right-hand sidebar. Once you’ve made your changes, be sure to click the Update File button to save your changes.

If you want more control over your WooCommerce templates, or if you’re not comfortable editing code directly, then you can also use a plugin like WooCommerce Customizer. This plugin lets you make changes to your WooCommerce templates from within the WordPress Customizer interface.

Simply install and activate the plugin, then go to Appearance > Customize from your WordPress dashboard. You’ll see a new WooCommerce section where you can make changes to your templates.

PRO TIP: If you are planning to edit WooCommerce templates, it is important to understand that there is a risk of breaking the site if you make a mistake. Only attempt to do this if you have experience with editing PHP files. It is also recommended that you create a backup of your site before making any changes.

Another option for editing WooCommerce templates is to create a child theme. A child theme is a separate theme that inherits all of its styling and functionality from another theme (the “parent” theme).

This is a good option if you want to make major changes to your WooCommerce templates and don’t want to lose those changes when the parent theme is updated. You can learn more about how to create a child theme here.

Conclusion:

There are a few different places where you can edit WooCommerce templates. The best option for you will depend on your level of experience and comfort with code, as well as how extensive the changes you want to make are.

If you’re just making small changes, then you can probably do so directly in the WordPress dashboard. For more extensive changes, or if you’re not comfortable editing code, then using a plugin like WooCommerce Customizer or creating a child theme may be a better option.
