Header/Footer missing on Woocommerce pages

  • My client was running a VERY barebones site with the twentytwentytwo theme, not even using a child theme. As a result of upgrades/changes, i’ve installed Woocommerce and we’re building out a store. So, i’ve created a child theme and everything is working just fine with the one exception of headers and footers being missing on the Woo-specific pages. After putting the site into debug mode, i’m getting these messages at the top/bottom of Woo pages (shop, cart, checkout) only:

    “Template part has been deleted or is unavailable: header” and “Template part has been deleted or is unavailable: footer”.

    So, i proceeded with switching to various themes to see if i could duplicate the issue. If i switched to the parent theme (twentytwentytwo), the problem was the same. If i switched to a different theme entirely (Astra, for example), the problem went away, though the default headers/footers were for some reason different from the rest of the site. I do understand that the twentytwentytwo theme is a block-based theme, so the paradigm shifted here, but i can’t account for why the Woo pages are behaving differently from the others in this specific theme.

    Can someone offer me some advice in how to proceed here? All i’m looking to get to is having the same headers/footers across the site, regardless if it’s a Woo-specific page or not. The change in behavior seems to be related to the theme itself, but i’m not sure and could use guidance.

    Hi @jlanpheer – in the child theme – can you check that the template parts that are referenced in the header/footer have names that match the actual template parts that are available? That’s the main thing I can think of that might be causing that kind of thing.
