ok, well, that’s interesting to hear. I’d understood Php was harder than css or html. I am vaguely familiar with the basics of both but have not had to use them in practice much, being able to do *most* things via the WP dash.

I’m not sure, perhaps the consensus among serious users or site designers is that all three are necessary to have any real control over what WP eventually produces.

thanks, again
Tom

OK, thank you.

I tracked this down in the CSS and will put the tweaked line in a custom CSS file.

I suppose my original instinct was that it’s better to find the option within the theme (and mine is Avada, a premium theme with I think it’s fair to say, comprehensive settings).

But if done via a few lines of custom CSS it makes no difference to the load time or anything else I guess.

thanks for getting back to me
Tom

hello

firstly, is remiss not to get back any earlier but I’ve been away for a bit. I do apologise as obviously you’ve been been making repeat efforts
to help here ..

In brief, the error as it pops up in WP is as follows:

Your theme (Lyn child theme) contains outdated copies of some WooCommerce template files. These files may need updating to ensure they are compatible with the current version of WooCommerce. You can see which files are affected from the system status page. If in doubt, check with the author of the theme.

Following a link it provides, I eventually end up at WooCommerce page describing steps to take to update templates manually (my theme is not desinged to run WooCommerce nor declaring support, and so is not updating them itself):
https://docs.woothemes.com/document/fix-outdated-templates-woocommerce/

Having reached this point however, I fall at the first step because no templates on my system appear to be reporting as outdated in my WooCommerce > System Status page.

(there seems to be no info provided on templates whatsoever, either to approve versions or report errors. I could send some screenshots perhaps, but I don’t believe I can do so in this forum)

As the steps instruct that you replace only the specific template files that are outdated, I can’t see that there’s much I can do. And in any case, I’m loathe to mess with anything as the website itself seems to be running fine and I’m hearing myself say ‘if it an’t broke don’t fix …’

So this brings me back to the original reason for posting really- am I running a unjustified security risk here, or can I (on my client’s behalf) relax.. ?

many thanks –

Tom

tom

ah….

much appreciated.

Tom

yeah.. well that didn’t help!

yeah it is .. it’s 600 x 600 ..

I’ve just tried the above steps also. I didn’t empty my Chrome cache (should I?) but found the URL for the product image then downloaded with a new name, before deleting the image from the post, viewing it without any image, then reuploading the newly-named file. unfortunately.. no change. Could run regen thumbnails again at this point I guess.. and could empty chrome cache if you think worthwhile (is this just deleting temp files i think?)
