Outdated Template Updater for WooCommerce

5/5 (2 ratings) 40 active installs Updated Nov 9, 2026

WooCommerce warns you when template overrides in your theme are outdated. This plugin helps you deal with those warnings properly.

Template Comparison

Scan your active theme to see what each template override really matches. The scan compares each file with older WooCommerce releases, so it also finds files where the version number says current but the content is older.

For each template you can see, side by side:

  • What WooCommerce has changed since the version in your file.
  • What WooCommerce has changed since the release your file most closely matches.
  • How your template differs from the current WooCommerce template.

Hooks, nonces and form fields that have changed are flagged for review. The scan is read-only and does not change any files.

Update Version Numbers

Once you have reviewed a template, one click updates its @version number to match WooCommerce and clears the outdated warning.

This only changes the version number. It does not copy template changes from WooCommerce, such as bug fixes, new hooks or security fixes. Use the Template Comparison first, and apply any changes you need to your template yourself.

Only the active theme is changed. If a child theme is active, parent theme files are left alone.

External services

The Template Comparison scan needs older WooCommerce templates, which are not stored on your site. It only connects when an administrator runs a scan or opens a comparison.

  • WordPress.org Plugin API (api.wordpress.org) provides the list of WooCommerce releases.
  • WordPress.org Plugin Directory (plugins.svn.wordpress.org) provides the older WooCommerce template files.

Requests contain the WooCommerce release and template name. Your theme files, site address and customer data are not sent. See the WordPress.org privacy policy.
