How to edit Woocommerce basic product page?
3 replies · Started by Timothy on August 27, 2022
Just beginning to set up a test site using GP Premium & Woocommerce. Working through all the basics and starting to get the hang of it but there's one thing I don't understand. Not sure how I can edit or create a custom single product page? Does this require the use of some kind of template plugin?
Also can one apply a different product page template to individual products? Obviously I'm missing something quite basic... :-(
Hi there,
Woocommerce provides a single Product Template and it provides the editor meta boxes for those products.
If you need different options or different templates for a product then it requires custom templates and functions.
What changes are you wanting to make ? As we may be able to advise on those custom changes.
Thanks for the input. At this point I don't have any specific changes in mind but just trying to get a handle of how WC templates work. I came across this article that goes a long way toward helping me understand how it all works.
Yeah that doc is a good starting place. And to note, GeneratePress does not replace the Woo templates, so following the woo guidelines will work.
Another good resource is Business Bloomer:

Particularly there visual hooks guide, for example:

Aside from the visual queues you have the list of the function callbacks that are hooked in.
