Can Woocommerce blocks be customised?

All the php files under woocommerce / template can be modified if you duplicate the structure in your theme.

What about blocks though? They exist in woocommerce / packages

I would like to alter packages / woocommerce-blocks / src / BlockTypes / AbstractProductGrid.php, but can I do that any other way than editing the original code which I’m sure is not advisable?

Hi!

Thanks for reaching out!

It is not advisable to edit a plugin’s files directly. Since your customizations would be overwritten any time WooCommerce gets updated, instead of editing those files directly I recommend putting the customized blocks in your own custom plugin.

Many thanks for that. I have created simple plugins, and so the link for creating a block looks really useful 🙂
