Uncommenting in Woocommerce template - php

Question

I don't have much experience with PHP and was wondering if anyone could help me uncomment a few lines from the Woocommerce thankyou.php template that can be found here: https://github.com/woocommerce/woocommerce/blob/master/templates/checkout/thankyou.php . I need to remove the order details starting line 43-77:
<ul class="woocommerce-order-overview woocommerce-thankyou-order-details order_details">
<li class="woocommerce-order-overview__order order">
<?php _e( 'Order number:', 'woocommerce' ); ?>
<strong><?php echo $order->get_order_number(); ?></strong>
</li>
<li class="woocommerce-order-overview__date date">
<?php _e( 'Date:', 'woocommerce' ); ?>
<strong><?php echo wc_format_datetime( $order->get_date_created() ); ?></strong>
</li>
<li class="woocommerce-order-overview__total total">
<?php _e( 'Total:', 'woocommerce' ); ?>
<strong><?php echo $order->get_formatted_order_total(); ?></strong>
</li>
<?php if ( $order->get_payment_method_title() ) : ?>
<li class="woocommerce-order-overview__payment-method method">
<?php _e( 'Payment method:', 'woocommerce' ); ?>
<strong><?php echo wp_kses_post( $order->get_payment_method_title() ); ?></strong>
</li>
<?php endif; ?>
</ul>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php do_action( 'woocommerce_thankyou_' . $order->get_payment_method(), $order->get_id() ); ?>
<?php do_action( 'woocommerce_thankyou', $order->get_id() ); ?>
Thanks for your help!

Answer 1

This question is not clear. I think you want us to help you commenting a portion of code on that checkout/thankyou.php template, to remove some info from line 43 to 77…
So your template code will be:
if ( ! defined( 'ABSPATH' ) ) {
exit;
}
?>
<div class="woocommerce-order">
<?php if ( $order ) : ?>
<?php if ( $order->has_status( 'failed' ) ) : ?>
<p class="woocommerce-notice woocommerce-notice--error woocommerce-thankyou-order-failed"><?php _e( 'Unfortunately your order cannot be processed as the originating bank/merchant has declined your transaction. Please attempt your purchase again.', 'woocommerce' ); ?></p>
<p class="woocommerce-notice woocommerce-notice--error woocommerce-thankyou-order-failed-actions">
<?php _e( 'Pay', 'woocommerce' ) ?>
<?php if ( is_user_logged_in() ) : ?>
<?php _e( 'My account', 'woocommerce' ); ?>
<?php endif; ?>
</p>
<?php endif; /* else: ?>
<p class="woocommerce-notice woocommerce-notice--success woocommerce-thankyou-order-received"><?php echo apply_filters( 'woocommerce_thankyou_order_received_text', __( 'Thank you. Your order has been received.', 'woocommerce' ), $order ); ?></p>
<ul class="woocommerce-order-overview woocommerce-thankyou-order-details order_details">
<li class="woocommerce-order-overview__order order">
<?php _e( 'Order number:', 'woocommerce' ); ?>
<strong><?php echo $order->get_order_number(); ?></strong>
</li>
<li class="woocommerce-order-overview__date date">
<?php _e( 'Date:', 'woocommerce' ); ?>
<strong><?php echo wc_format_datetime( $order->get_date_created() ); ?></strong>
</li>
<li class="woocommerce-order-overview__total total">
<?php _e( 'Total:', 'woocommerce' ); ?>
<strong><?php echo $order->get_formatted_order_total(); ?></strong>
</li>
<?php if ( $order->get_payment_method_title() ) : ?>
<li class="woocommerce-order-overview__payment-method method">
<?php _e( 'Payment method:', 'woocommerce' ); ?>
<strong><?php echo wp_kses_post( $order->get_payment_method_title() ); ?></strong>
</li>
<?php endif; */ ?>
</ul>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php do_action( 'woocommerce_thankyou_' . $order->get_payment_method(), $order->get_id() ); ?>
<?php do_action( 'woocommerce_thankyou', $order->get_id() ); ?>
<?php else : ?>
<p class="woocommerce-notice woocommerce-notice--success woocommerce-thankyou-order-received"><?php echo apply_filters( 'woocommerce_thankyou_order_received_text', __( 'Thank you. Your order has been received.', 'woocommerce' ), null ); ?></p>
<?php endif; ?>
</div>
I hope that is simply that…

Answer 2

Overriding templates in WooCommerce is quite simple, you just have to copy the template file you want to edit into the YOUR_THEME/woocommerce/ directory and edit/add/delete anything you want.
In your case you just have to copy the template file located in wp-content/plugins/woocommerce/templates/checkout/thankyou.php into wp-content/themes/YOUR_THEME/woocommerce/checkout and you're ready to go.

Answer 3

Be aware that you override the template files in child theme, otherwise after updating theme you will lose you changes.
Child theme creation procedure:
create a folder in themes directory and name it yourthemename-child
creat a style.css file and put this comment inside it
/*
Theme Name: Twenty Fifteen Child
Description: Twenty Fifteen Child Theme
Template: parent_theme_name
you can add other attributes here as well
*/
