Product page name difference

    I’ve noticed something odd recently, two difference in two websites I’m working on, both using the 2024 theme in the WooCommerce area. One is an older site that I’m looking to convert to 2024 (from Astra) (so I’m working on a copy) and the second is a site that is based on that first site but was converted about 4 months ago.

    The first noticeable difference is that in the site I’m currently transforming WooCommerce has the product page template showing as Single Product.

    But on the other site it’s showing as Product Description Page

    Why should these be different? It’s not a problem, just annoying. The second item is also similar. I’m using the BeRocket brands plugin and this too show up differently on each site. On one site there are 3 menu options, brand page, shop page and product page but on the site that has the template Single Page those last two options are missing. The 3rd items I’ve just recalled is that the css IDs are different on each site. I can’t help thinking these are related but why should these differences exist? The sites are using the same plugins, have the same child theme with the same functions.php, and are both using 2024 with all other themes removed.

    What do you mean by a “Product Description Page”? In WordPress, you work with templates for the output of post types. For WooCommerce products, there is also a single page that displays the product in detail. What this template looks like depends on the theme, so the view naturally differs in different themes. I don’t really understand the problem with the 3 (?) websites.

    OK, both sites are using the 2024 theme, both run WooCommerce, both have all the same plugins. On the first site Appearance > Editor > Themes > Templates > WoocCmmerce is the entry “Product Description Page” which is, of course, the template for the single product page. However, on the other site the same template is actually called Single Product. Why?

    Does the “Author” column in the templates also contain this author? Should be WooCommerce if it comes from the plugin. In my case, the template is called “Single Product”. Why there is a template with a different name in your project is difficult for me to judge. It is possible that this was once a name that WooCommerce used. You should rather ask for details in their support forum: https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/woocommerce/

    I don’t think most people would even notice. Just flagging it as feedback
