Moving the page title on archive-product page in WooCommerce - php

Question

On my WooCommerce shop page (archive-product template), I'm trying to move the page title so that it is outside the site-inner area and rather in the header area, like it is on the other pages on my site. I want to add a full-width image behind it, so I need it outside the current hook that it's in.
I'd also like to be able to make this edit in my functions.php file so that I don't have to worry about WooCommerce upgrades.
Here's the code on the archive-product page that's controlling the title:
get_header( 'shop' ); ?>
<?php
/**
* woocommerce_before_main_content hook.
*
* #hooked woocommerce_output_content_wrapper - 10 (outputs opening divs for the content)
* #hooked woocommerce_breadcrumb - 20
*/
do_action( 'woocommerce_before_main_content' );
?>
<?php if ( apply_filters( 'woocommerce_show_page_title', true ) ) : ?>
<h1 class="page-title"><?php woocommerce_page_title(); ?></h1>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php
/**
* woocommerce_archive_description hook.
*
* #hooked woocommerce_taxonomy_archive_description - 10
* #hooked woocommerce_product_archive_description - 10
*/
do_action( 'woocommerce_archive_description' );
?>
What can I add to my functions.php to override where the page title is now? You can see the page in question here.

Answer 1

First, it's possible to Override WooCommerce templates via a Theme (better with a child theme) avoiding the problem of woocommerce updates.
To remove the WooCommerce archives pages title you can use the code below:
add_filter( 'woocommerce_show_page_title', '__return_false' );
Code goes in function.php file of your active child theme (or theme) or also in any plugin file.
Then you will have to edit your header.php theme template to make the page title appear on the shop page just as you want (the best solution is to create a child theme and copy header.php from parent theme to child theme).
You can also use WooCommerce conditional tags to target the Shop page and other WooCommerce archives pages…

Answer 2

Copy wp-content\plugins\woocommerce\templates\archive-product.php
to wp-content\themes\your-theme\woocommerce\archive-product.php
Change code:
<?php
/**
* The Template for displaying product archives, including the main shop page which is a post type archive
*
* This template can be overridden by copying it to yourtheme/woocommerce/archive-product.php.
*
* HOWEVER, on occasion WooCommerce will need to update template files and you
* (the theme developer) will need to copy the new files to your theme to
* maintain compatibility. We try to do this as little as possible, but it does
* happen. When this occurs the version of the template file will be bumped and
* the readme will list any important changes.
*
* #see https://docs.woocommerce.com/document/template-structure/
* #author WooThemes
* #package WooCommerce/Templates
* #version 3.3.0
