A few issues after updating a few times

[MarcusRG]

Hi

It works with parent theme.

So I don’t get why it didn’t work when replacing php files from child theme?

[MarcusRG]

Okay, I checked the differ: https://www.diffchecker.com/ajqsv0tx

Our archive has a few changes – for example our category description under products instead of above. But I can’t seem to find this here.

What I do seem to find is that the h1 asset + breacrumb area is removed in the newest version.

Well now it will be necessary to copy the changes across, or copy the entire file from the parent theme and apply again the changes you made in the child theme.

What’s that file name?

[MarcusRG]

The only files in my child themes are

archive-product.php
content-prduct.php
content-single-product.php

And all of the versions are 1.0.. so yeah, they’re pretty outdated.

So what’s the purpose of having child theme if they’re outdated as soon as you guys update your theme?

Hi Marcus,

In most cases everything is ok, however recently WooCommerce released a large update and we also also improved our code structure which means the files need updating.

Thanks,
David.

well using a child theme is the best practice to avoid lose changes but it’s not 100% update proof because of this situations when the files that are updated are the same in the child theme.

In WordPress development there is no possible workaround for this situation(except don’t create new versions of the parent theme).

Is this something you guys can do? I’m not really that good with code.

I only think it’s about those 3 files (at least they’re the only ones in my child theme)

[David Martin – Support]

Unfortunately not, the developer who originally did this for made some specific customisations for your requirements.

You will need to find out what he did for you or what you asked him for. If you do not know what modifications he did, you can deactivate the child theme and compare the products pages.

Thanks,
David.

Hi David

I know what he did. I just don’t know where to find it in the code. 🙂

[David Martin – Support]

Ok, the diff tool should be able to highlight the changes. You will then need to narrow those down to the few changes he did.

Thanks,
David

[MarcusRG]

Yeah it will show the changes, but you pretty much edited the entire php file since version 1.0 from our childtheme.

Do you handle edits on hourly pay basis?

[David Martin – Support]

Hey,

We do not take on theme modification, our partners WerkPress handle this for us. You can work with directly: http://www.swiftideas.com/customization/.

Thanks,
David.

[MarcusRG]

Okay thanks.

Took a look at the php files again.

In product-archive.php you removed this part:

 <?php if ( apply_filters( 'woocommerce_show_page_title', true )  && $default_show_page_heading) : ?>
    
    <div class="row">
        <div class="page-heading span12 clearfix alt-bg <?php echo $default_page_heading_bg_alt; ?>">
            <div class="heading-text">
                
                <?php if ( version_compare( WOOCOMMERCE_VERSION, "2.0.0" ) >= 0 ) { ?>
                    
                    <h1><?php woocommerce_page_title(); ?></h1>
                        
                <?php } else {
                
                    if ( is_search() ) {
                            
                        echo '<h1>';
                                
                        printf( __( 'Search Results: &ldquo;%s&rdquo;', 'woocommerce' ), get_search_query() );
                        
                        if ( get_query_var( 'paged' ) ) {
                            printf( __( '&nbsp;&ndash; Page %s', 'woocommerce' ), get_query_var( 'paged' ) );
                        }
                        
                        echo '</h1>';
                            
                    } elseif ( is_tax() ) {
                        
                        echo '<h1>' . single_term_title( "", false ) . '</h1>';
                    
                    } else {
                        
                        $shop_page = get_post( woocommerce_get_page_id( 'shop' ) );
                        
                        echo '<h1>';
                        
                        echo apply_filters( 'the_title', ( $shop_page_title = get_option( 'woocommerce_shop_page_title' ) ) ? $shop_page_title : $shop_page->post_title );
                        
                        echo '</h1>';
                    }
                                                    
                } ?>
            </div>
            <?php 
                // BREADCRUMBS
                echo sf_breadcrumbs();
            ?>
        </div>
    </div>
 
    <?php endif; ?>

How come? When I update the PHP file, my asset heading with H1 and breadcrumb will disappear

[David Martin – Support]

Hi,

We moved that out, it is now controlled by sf_page_heading() within /includes/swift-framework/sf-content-display/sf-page-heading.php.

Thanks,
David.

[MarcusRG]

Okay great.

Does that mean I have to include the sf-page-heading.php in my child theme as well for it to work?
