I have built my own theme, which integrates quite well with WooCommerce, but I want to know how to properly get rid of the notification on top of my theme that said my theme didn't support WooCommerce / properly declare support (going a bit further than just clicking away the message).

  • Any error messages when you try to answer? Maybe there's a reputation threshold and you'll need to wait a couple of hours. But, please, come back later and do it :)

  • Good find. I was just configuring a theme to work with WooCommerce yesterday and can't believe I missed that add_theme_support() idea. Though you can also just dismiss the notice and it will go away permanently.

Digging into the code that generates the notification (current_theme_supports('woocommerce')) gives the answer: place add_theme_support( 'woocommerce' ); in your functions.php

simple!

Add below code in function.php file of your current theme.

add_action( 'after_setup_theme', 'setup_woocommerce_support' );

 function setup_woocommerce_support()
{
  add_theme_support('woocommerce');
}
