I’m currently working with WooTheme’s Woocommerce Wishlists plugin (https://docs.woothemes.com/document/woocommerce-wishlists/), and I need to be able to edit the templates without having to edit them everytime I update the plugin. I’ve been directed towards this page for doing the same for the Woocommerce plugin itself: https://docs.woothemes.com/document/template-structure/
How might I do the same type of thing for the Woocommerce Wishlists plugin? I’ve tried the same basic thing as in the tutorial above, but it doesn’t seem to be working.
Your guidance would be very much appreciated. Thank you!
Make a copy of the template file you want to alter ( the wishlist plugin’s template files are in plugins >> woocommerce-wishlists >> templates ).
Then inside your the main folder of whatever your active theme is, make a “woocommerce” folder. If you have customized any of the core Woocommerce templates, you should already have this folder. Drop the copy of the Wishlist template into this folder and edit it as you like. It should be in the root of your theme’s “woocommerce” folder, not in any subfolder of it.
The Wishlists plugin actually uses the regular Woocommerce function to look for a template — wc_get_template() — so it should first look to the theme for a template and then if it doesn’t find one, it looks to the default plugin templates.
I needed to do something similar with the Wishlists plugin, and this is working for me.
