Custom single product page – syntax to call on other WC sections?

Everything you need is inside the template files. This is your best spot for template structure and code to call to specific things.

WooCommerce 4.9

Depending on what theme you are using you can either use hooks or echo template parts

Hi Stef – thanks for your reply. It led me to the get_template_part() documentation, which I’m reading about now.

There seem to be different levels of implementation, and similar related functions, and various opinions on it (upvotes/downvotes): https://developer.www.ads-software.com/reference/functions/get_template_part/

I need a base point for my understanding. To use a real-life, specific example, do you know what the syntax would look like to show product reviews inside my own div in the file content-single-product.php?

I wouldn’t use any kind of code on the page. I would use a hook before doing any copying of files over to your child theme. You’re just making more work for yourself.

Read up on how to hook for WooCommerce

With hooks all you do is add them to your child’s function file and control everything that way. If these don’t work for you then you’ll need to copy the file and add the code you need to add, but that wouldn’t be something we could help you here with. That’s custom work.

This is a great resource for how to move things around and add them

To echo the review file you’d do something like

 <?php
      woocommerce_get_template_part( 'single-product-reviews' );
 ?>

And the same for the others

Hi Stef – noted. I think in a lot of cases, you’re right. If I need to append something to a general place (eg. Related Products appended to the bottom of the page), then you’re right. And I’m actually glad you reminded me and made me think about whether hardcoding every element is even necessary. You’ve definitely helped me out here.

But if I need to create Bootstrap HTML structures so as to arrange parts for certain pages (single product, single post, etc), then I don’t see how hooks can help….but that could just be my inexperience.

To take a standard WordPress example:
Say I need a custom single blog post template. The top section of the page will have a feature image, a title, excerpt, meta, etc. To arrange that into the desired design and layout, that requires removing those elements from the template file copied to my child theme, and re-adding them within my desired structure. So editing the template file is the only way, I assume. Though I’d like to be wrong about this.

So my biggest issue is actually how to call on those elements from the file, because although I know some coding, I am not familiar with PHP. I’ve just been trying to figure out the basic call syntax.

Using that basic WP example again, I need syntax/snippets to:
– Call on the post featured image
– Call on the post title
– Call on the post excerpt

I can’t seem to find a simple answer (ie. code snippets) to put these in my theme file (ie. paste it into my own Bootstrap column according to my design) etc.

EDIT: I missed the code at the end of your post, sorry. Let me play around with that for a while…maybe that is the key. Thanks Stef.

For that kind of layout you’ll be creating single page layout templates. You’ll need to learn how to layout those using a few different lines of code.

That’s why I gave you the first link. If you study the native WC single template you’ll be able to create your very own single product page templates.

Excellent. You’ve been a huge help Stef. I’ll do some exploring and close the ticket after I’ve had a look around at the docs.

You’re welcome. Enjoy ??
