After updating your WooCommerce plugin, you may encounter an error message saying, “Your theme contains outdated copies of some WooCommerce template files.” In this article, we will provide a step-by-step guide on how to solve this problem, ensuring that your theme and WooCommerce are compatible.
The first step is to ensure that you have the most recent version of your theme installed. Check the theme’s changelog to see if the latest version is compatible with the version of WooCommerce you are currently using. If the changelog indicates compatibility, you can proceed with the theme update.
You need to clear the cache in the XStore Control Panel -> System Requirements -> WooCommerce system info cache. This may solve the problem of displaying outdated files.
Note: To find out if outdated files are in the XStore parent theme or in child theme, go to WooCommerce > Status > Templates.
If you are using a child theme and it has a rewritten WooCommerce folder (with files), then you need to make compatibility by yourself. Compare files (parent theme file and your child theme file) and add the missing code to your child theme file.
For parent XStore theme: Deleting Outdated WooCommerce Files and uploading latest.
Delete wp-content/themes/xstore/woocommerce folder and upload woocommerce folder from the latest theme archive via FTP.
If the latest version of the theme does not have the support of the WooCommerce version you are using (according to the information in the changelog), please, wait till we release a new theme update. If you have any critical compatibility problems contact us on Support Forum or temporarily downgrade the WooCommerce version.
Ensuring compatibility between your theme and WooCommerce is crucial for a smooth and error-free e-commerce experience. By following the steps outlined in this guide, you can effectively resolve the “Your theme contains outdated copies of some WooCommerce template files” issue. Remember to always keep your theme updated.
