[wp-forums] Forum Topic Assistance - WordPress & WooCommerce version

Thu Jul 16 14:20:58 UTC 2015

Hi Josh,

>Where do you look in the page source; exactly?

Viewing the source code of the page, look for these meta tags:

<meta name="generator" content="WordPress 4.1.5" />
<meta name="generator" content="WooCommerce 2.3.8" />

On a side note, I've always found WooThemes to be responsive and helpful
when I've contacted them for support.

Just my two cents :)

Christi
