WooCommerce Template Override Checker

1. 01

   Open your Templates report

   In wp-admin, go to WooCommerce → Status. Scroll to the Templates section (or click “Get system report”, then “Copy for support” for a plain-text version).

2. 02

   Copy the Templates block

   Select the Overrides rows, including each file path and any “Version X is out of date” lines.

3. 03

   Paste it here

   The checker reads any pasted text for a template file path followed by a version warning, so either the on-screen table or the copied report text works.

WooCommerce compares the version comment at the top of your theme's copy of a template file to the version comment in its own copy of the same file. If yours is older, it's listed as an override that's out of date, meaning WooCommerce shipped changes (sometimes just a comment, sometimes a real fix or new feature) that your theme's copy doesn't have.

• Compare your theme's file (in yourtheme/woocommerce/…) against the current version in WooCommerce's own templates/ folder to see what changed.
• If your override never actually changed anything from the original, delete it. WooCommerce's own copy will take over and you'll never fall behind on it again.
• If it has real customizations, manually merge WooCommerce's changes into your copy, then update the version number in your file's doc comment to match.
• After updating, WooCommerce's own “Learn how to update” link on the Status page points at the latest guidance for this exact process.

An outdated override isn't automatically broken; it's a warning that a newer template exists. Some changes are cosmetic and safe to ignore for a while, others (checkout security fixes, new required markup) matter more. When in doubt, update sooner rather than later.
