How to change files correctly so that they are not affected by the update?

Question

WooCommerce

Changed files in woocommerce>teamplate plugin folder. After the update, some of the files have changed - back to their original form. Can you please tell me how to properly customize woocommerce? Create your own templates and display data through hooks? Or just disable plugin update? What is another way?

Answer 1

1. Write your plugins and use hooks to shove the desired output into untouched (by you) woocommerce templates.
2. If this does not help, copy, for example, "/wp-content/plugins/woocommerce/templates/content-product.php" to the folder
/wp-content/themes/your_active_theme/woocommerce/content-product.php and change him there.
"one." much better than
"2." worse because no one knows what will change in "/wp-content/plugins/woocommerce/templates/content-product.php" the next Woocommerce update. At least the line like "@version 3.6.0" will change.

Answer 2

Create your own templates and display data through hooks?

Exactly.

Or just disable plugin update?

In no case.
