Woocommerce uses page.php instead of child theme files

    Hi,

    On several of my sites using Woocommerce 3.3.x the theme-files has stopped working.

    Woocommerce seems to use page.php as the theme file instead of single-product.php.

    It works to put archive-product.php and single-product.php directly in the theme folder (and not in “woocommerce” sub folder), but when i have a multilanguage site (with WPML), the archive-product.php is not working for any language but the main language.

    Anyone else having this problem?

    Kind regards
    Henrik

    Make sure the theme properly declares WooCommerce support if you plan on overriding templates: https://github.com/woocommerce/woocommerce/wiki/Declaring-WooCommerce-support-in-themes

    I have made my own custom themes and it has worked nicely for the last 1-2 years. Have you made big changes in how the templating works between 3.2.6 and 3.3.x?

    Is it expected that Woocommerce uses “theme-name/page.php” as template file before using “theme-name/woocommerce/single-product.php”?

    Do you have any documentation of the recent changes in the templating functionallity?

    Kind regards
