    Hello everyone,

    I’d like to edit the layout of my single product pages in woocommerce. I had some issues finding the right file to edit, but using the plugin What the File I was able to locate the right file.

    Unfortunately, when I try to edit single-product.php, I receive the message “Sorry, that file cannot be edited”.

    I’m not sure why this is the case, any help would be great!

    Unfortunately, when I try to edit single-product.php, I receive the message “Sorry, that file cannot be edited”.

    Even if you find a way to modify that file directly, I’d still strongly advise against doing it that way – you’d be changing core WooCommerce files, and your changes will be overwritten when WooCommerce next updates.

    Instead, you’ll want to look into overriding that template, which involves making a copy that WooCommerce will look at instead of the original. Here’s how to get started:
