Changes not appearing on product pages
Clear any caching plugins and browser cache. Check if you're using a child theme and ensure custom code is in the correct functions.php file. Verify that WooCommerce templates aren't being overridden by your theme.
Custom CSS not applying to product elements
Use more specific CSS selectors or add !important to override theme styles. Check that custom CSS is being loaded after theme stylesheets. Use browser developer tools to inspect elements and verify correct class names.
Product images not displaying correctly after customization
Regenerate product image thumbnails using WooCommerce > Status > Tools > Regenerate shop thumbnails. Check image dimensions in WooCommerce > Settings > Products > Display and ensure they match your theme requirements.
Custom fields or tabs not showing on frontend
Verify that custom field display code is properly added to your theme template files. Check that ACF field groups have correct location rules set. Ensure callback functions for custom tabs are properly defined and accessible.
