Change or translate specific texts in Woocommerce

gettext, php, translation, woocommerce, wordpress

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>`

Problem

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?
