WC_Brands::template_loader │ public │ WC 1.0

  • Handles template usage so that we can use our own templates instead of the themes.
  • Templates are in the 'templates' folder. woocommerce looks for theme overides in /theme/woocommerce/ by default
  • For beginners, it also looks for a woocommerce.php template first. If the user adds this to the theme (containing a woocommerce() inside) this will be used for all woocommerce templates.
  • @param string $template Template.
