Configuring WC Vendors Pro templates

Want a vendor store page, dashboard screen, or email to look different? WC Vendors Pro builds these screens from template files that you can copy into your theme and edit. This guide lists every WC Vendors Pro template, what it controls, and the exact path for your copy.

How template overrides work

A template override is your own copy of a template file, saved inside your theme. WC Vendors Pro loads your copy instead of the plugin file, so your changes stay in place when the plugin updates.

1. Open the WC Vendors Pro plugin folder.
2. Find the file in its templates folder, for example templates/store/store-header-modern.php.
3. Copy the file into your theme, at the path in the Override path in your theme column below.
4. Edit your copy.

Use a child theme for your overrides. A theme update replaces the parent theme folder and removes any files you added to it.

Most vendor dashboard screens, such as Orders, Reports, and the dashboard navigation, come from the free WC Vendors plugin. You find those templates in the WC Vendors marketplace templates overview.

Email templates

These templates control the emails that WC Vendors Pro sends. Each email has an HTML version and a plain text version. The Email type setting of each email in WooCommerce decides which version is sent, so override the version your store uses.

Store page templates

These templates output the elements on each vendor store page.

Template file	What it controls	Override path in your theme

store/upload-limits-notice.php	Vendor upload limits notice	wc-vendors/store/upload-limits-notice.php
store/vendor-store-notice.php	Vendor store notice	wc-vendors/store/vendor-store-notice.php

Two settings in WC Vendors > Settings > Display control the store header. The Shop Header checkbox turns store headers on. The Shop header dropdown then picks the template: Pro Modern uses store-header-modern.php, and Pro uses store-header.php. The Single Product Header checkbox shows the same header on single product pages.

Add content below the store name

From WC Vendors Pro 2.1.0, the Pro Modern store header has an action hook called wcvendors_after_header_name. An action hook is a point in the template where your own code can add output. It runs after the store name and the verified or trusted badges, and before the store description.

Use the hook when you only want to add something, such as a tagline. You keep the plugin template, so you have no override to update after each release. The hook passes the vendor’s user ID to your function.

add_action( 'wcvendors_after_header_name', function ( $vendor_id ) {
	echo '<p class="my-store-tagline">Handmade in small batches</p>';
} );

Add the code to your child theme’s functions.php file, or use a code snippets plugin. The hook runs wherever the Pro Modern header shows: on store pages when the Shop Header checkbox is on, and on single product pages when the Single Product Header checkbox is on. In both cases, the Shop header dropdown must be set to Pro Modern.

Template file	What it controls	Override path in your theme
invoices/pdf-invoice.php	Vendor invoice PDF	wc-vendors/invoices/pdf-invoice.php
statements/pdf-statement.php	Vendor statement PDF	wc-vendors/statements/pdf-statement.php

Frequently Asked Questions

Why can’t I find the Orders, Reports, or dashboard navigation templates here?
Those screens come from the free WC Vendors plugin, so their templates live in its templates folder. See the WC Vendors marketplace templates overview.

I copied exporter.php to my theme, but nothing changed. Why?
Save it as wc-vendors/dashboard/exporter.php. The exporter override goes straight into the dashboard folder, not into a product subfolder.

I override store-header-modern.php. Does the new hook work for me?
Not until you update your copy. Your copy replaces the plugin file, so it does not have the wcvendors_after_header_name hook. Copy the template from WC Vendors Pro 2.1.0 or later again, and add your changes back.

My template changes stopped working after a plugin update. What do I do?
Compare your copy with the plugin file, and bring your copy up to date. See how to fix outdated templates.
