Woocommerce email template in theme folder
3 replies · Started by Len on August 11, 2020
In Woocommerce, I need a bespoke version of the customer-processing-order.php email template, so clicked to the copy button in Woocommerce. The file is now copied into /wp-content/themes/generatepress/woocommerce/emails folder.
The Woocommerce folder gets created, and the template copied in. The edit I need is done its working well.
So the question: Will this /woocommerce/ folder get changed or deleted with a Generate Press theme update, or will it be left alone?
I have used Wordpress and Woocommerce for many years, and so far avoided child themes, instead use plugins to add PHP, js and css. I know that if I create a child theme the folder should be safe, but I really don't want that.
Thanks. LenW
Hi there,
The entire theme folder is deleted during updates so the newly created folder would be deleted as well.
You'd need a child theme in this case:

Thanks, I will consider a child theme. The Booster for Woocommerce plugin has a module that allows editing templates, and stores them separately, so that is now an option, just taking a look at that.
No problem :)
