WooCommerce using standard templates

[finalwebsites]

Hi,
right now I can change the a category archive page only with hooks which are available in the function woocommerce_content().
Instead I would like to use the templates from WooCommerce, like archive-product.php.
If I want to do that you need to remove the woocommerce.php file. Is there another option that I've missed?

Hi,

yes, I tried many times to integrate WC into the theme with hooks https://developer.woocommerce.com/docs/classic-theme-development-handbook/ instead the woocommerce.php. But I had no acceptable success here, especially for the breadcrumb. If you have any idea how to solve this, we can remove woocommerce.php. Any PR is highly appreciated.

I can't follow you :) In my opinion is the integration using the woocommerce.php file some kind of light integration.
If you don't use it all the WOO template files are used instead. I never used the woocommerce.php file during the last 10 years.

But I had no acceptable success here, especially for the breadcrumb.
I do this with the header.php file in most of the cases.

Please submit a PR, removing the woocommerce.php will be a great thing.

Actually, if you remove the woocommerce.php file, the default template function is restored.
Maybe it's an idea to keep the woocommerce.php file inside the child theme?
Let me work on this, I will check what I can share afterwards :)
