    Hi,

    I want to do big changes to product listing and single product pages (for example showing short description and product description BEFORE product attributes). This can be done by modifying files inside templates-folder. But if i’m modifying files directly I will lost plugins upgradability.

    Is there way to modify for example templates/content-al_product.php and templates\themes\classic-list.php content without losing upgradability? One way used by other plugins is move these files inside theme folder (it will override default files), but it wasn’t working in this case.

    Are you using a theme or a child theme? If you are using a child theme you can modify you functions.php with action hooks to possibly modify how things appear. Not to sure without actually having the plugin but I am learning that actions and filters can do amazing things once you learn how to use them.

    Here is a link to introduce you to the API

    It may or may not work depending on how the templates and functions are set-up. It is worth looking into though because you might be able to use it in other parts of you site as well.
