Change or translate specific texts in Woocommerce


I found a solution online for this but it does not seem to work.

It says to edit the below file which I did a few days ago but somehow it is not working still.

/wp-content/plugins/woocommerce/templates/single-product/related.php

Which if I FTP to the server the file shows the below:

if ( $products->have_posts() ) : ?>

<div class="related products">

    <h2><?php _e('You may also like', 'woocommerce' ); ?></h2>

However the webpage still shows 'Related products' and not 'You may also like'

For some reason this is not taking place or being over ridden somewhere.

Any ideas?


Solution

  • The best way to override default templates is to copy the file to a folder named /woocommerce/single-product inside your current theme. Make changes to that file.

    In general to override Woocommerce template files like

    /wp-content/plugins/woocommerce/templates/<foldername>/<filename>

    you copy the file to

    /wp-content/<your-theme>/woocommerce/<foldername>/<filename>
