WOO commerce template PHP files not updating

    Hello. I am not yet selling any items from my site, and when I go to my WC status page, I see that the WC database version is 3.3.0, but also that:

    (1) WC PAGES
    – SHOP BASE = “Page not set”
    – BASKET, CHECKOUT, MY A/C, T & Cs = “Page ID is set, but the page does not exist”

    (2) TEMPLATES – “Overrides”
    – lots of PHP entries each have against them “version X.X.X is out of date. The core version is 3.Z.0”

    Could the template problem in (2) have arisen because of (1) or because I have changed the database prefix away from the standard WP one or for another reason, please?

    Thanks a zillion.

    Yes, that is correct, because you updated and then rolled back your db version will still be 3.3 and the checks against the template versions will differ causing the notice.

    We are planning on releasing 3.3.1 later today which takes care of all the theming issues, after updating the notices will go away.

    Thanks, Gerhard. Sorry that I didn’t explain myself very well. It is possible that I have changed a standard WP folder’s name.

    Also, I think that the problem possibly pre-dated the WC update (I am not sure, though), as I have been seeing entries highlighted in red for some time.

    I will update WC later today, and will come back to update you.

    Thanks again.

    This has to do with your theme having outdated template overrides. This happens when a theme copies a template file from the WooCommerce plugin folder and sticks it in the theme so it can be edited.

    When this happens, the theme is responsible for keeping the template file updated when WooCommerce makes a change in the original copy. More information on this process here: https://docs.woocommerce.com/document/template-structure/

    This is something your theme authors will need to help with.

    Hi. Yes – I found the ‘Tools’ section and have installed some default pages which had cured most of my item number (1).

    The information on override files on your website is very good. I will try my theme developer, but not with a great deal of hope (you never know, I suppose!).
