Wordpress is giving the following message when I use the newest Themler Template for WooCommerce.

"Your theme (xxxxxxxxx) contains outdated copies of some WooCommerce template files. These files may need updating to ensure they are compatible with the current version of WooCommerce. You can see which files are affected from the system status page. If in doubt, check with the author of the theme."

How can that be fixed? I did not expect such things with the "PRO" version of Themler :/

I found an answer to this in a different topic. These files are there to support older versions of WooCommerce. I reject this, you should always upgrade to the newest version of WooCommerce, since older versions may contain exploits.

Also, the message in the back end is not very professional. If I would make a theme for a new website for one of my customers a message like this would not look very good on my credibility.

Perhaps a checkbox could be made which can be selected wether or not the theme should be backwards compatible.

Hello guys,
we're aware about this WooCommerce warning.
In general it should not cause any major problems.
We have not updated theme files yet because updated versions may cause problems with old woocommerce versions.

If you face any problems with theme and woocommerce please let us know.

Hi

Any news on the update to the latest version of Woocommerce. Other plugins dont work with the theme as a result of the outdated Woocommerce files.

PLease help

Hello Bruce,
I see that you posted the topic http://answers.themler.com/questions/28235/woocommerce-files-outdated
lets discuss the issue there.

Could you please update WooCommerce in Themler WordPress? Cart page is renewed in latest update (amongst others) and since i updated the version on life themler url and it is not in themler itself, i cannot change the page. (when I select cart template, it jumps to post template). So I do see the cart page but not in my theme layout...

thanks so much!

Karin

Hi,

I'm having the same issue with "Your theme (xxxxxxxxx) contains outdated copies of some WooCommerce template files" and I really don't want my client seeing that message in the back office.
The link supplied - http://answers.themler.com/questions/28235/woocommerce-files-outdated
no longer exists so I'm not sure where I can find help with this.

Thanks,
Karen

By the way the issue it may be causing is that I have an empty cart button plugin that I use and it works find on woocommerce theme storefront but doesn't appear on the Themler theme I created. I assumed that it would appear and I'm very new to themler (used to Artisteer).

Cheers,
Karen

Hello Karen,
the link does not open for you because that topic is converted to private mode and only author may access it.

If you have issue with outdated WooCommerce files and not working plugin please submit a new private topic and describe the issue is details: what plugin you're using, provide link to page that demonstrates the issue and access to WP admin back end.

Regards,
Aileen

I'm getting these messages too.
I followed the WooCommerce instruction to update the files from their latest, but that broke the Themler product and cart pages layouts. Remaking the theme in the desktop version simply recreated the Outdated templates message.

Can you please give us instructions about how to fix the issue. What files are safe to delete from the Themler theme folders?

These are the messages I'm getting:
Thanks,
Don

Hello Don,
thank you for details. However we need some additional info:
-what exactly you mean by

that broke the Themler product
?
Please describe it more details.

-you wrote that

that broke ... cart pages layouts
Could you provide link to the page that demonstrates the issue?

-what WooCommerce version you have installed?

Regards,
Aileen

Hello Aileen,

It is WooCommerce version 2.4.7. We are trying to get the weight based shipping working using the https://wordpress.org/plugins/weight-based-shipping-for-woocommerce/.

Unfortunately, the cart calculator did not add a shipping total. WooCommerce reports the templates being out of date. So we thought this may be the cause of the problem.

We followed the instructions at https://docs.woothemes.com/document/fix-outdated-templates-woocommerce/ to copy current templates over Themler templates and the layout of the catalogue pages changed, i.e. appeared to lose layout styling. The cart itself didn't look too bad, but the shipping calculator did not work even though a message came up saying it had done.

After more testing we've settled on another weight based shipping plugin and it is working. So the problem is not Themler.

Nevertheless, we would need to get rid of the outdated template error messages because this is not something we can let appear on client websites. We can't use Themler for a WooCommerce client site until the problem is resolved.

Thanks,
Don

Hello Don,
thank you for details.
Actually we're providing old WooCommerce files for backward compatibility with older versions.
If certain plugins, options, etc. are not working with Themler theme and new WooCommerce version we're fixing such issues promptly.
In your case if something is not working let investigate this issue.
However if theme is working with the current WooCommerce files specific for Themler theme then there's nothing to fix.

Regards,
Aileen

Hi Aileen,

There is still the issue of a client going to the WooCommerce status and seeing reports of out of date templates.

If these templates are only being provided for backward compatibility, can they be deleted?
Would you be able to provide instructions about what can and what cannot be deleted.

Thank you,
Don

Hello Don,
I see your point. We added the WooCommerce update to our plan so the latest WooCommerce version will be included into one of the next updates. Unfortunately I cannot say when it'll be included exactly. Please watch announcements at the site.

Aileen
