How to create new Template (SiteOrigin-North w WooCommerce)

Of course everything has changed since I started building this site. WordPress is now up-to-date with 4.6.1 (which auto updates automatically, this really scares me…) and I’ve updated to WooCommerce to 2.6.7. Everything I found related to creating a new template is now out-dated for the versions I’m using.

I copied the WooCommerce template folder from SiteOrigin-North to my Child Theme and renamed it to ‘woocommerce’ – this is Version 1.6.4 based on the meta.php page (versus the plugin 2.6.7 WooCommerce). Since I created the pages below (based on my research) and nothing worked, I then copied over the ‘template-parts’ folder. These are the pages I created and put into each folder.

Child-Theme of SiteOrigin-North w WooCommerce enabled–
woocommerce
–clocks-product
–add-to-cart (all the files)
–tabs (all the files)
–single-product
–template-parts
–content-clocks
clock-product.php
content-clock-product.php (changed ‘single’ to ‘clock’)

I see there is a ‘functions.php’ page under ‘siteorigin-north –> functions.php but I have not copied that over or amended that either.

There is this notice on the System Status page:

Archive Template:
Your theme has a woocommerce.php file, you will not be able to override the woocommerce/archive-product.php custom template since woocommerce.php has priority over archive-product.php. This is intended to prevent display issues.

Is it me or is it the templates being different from those of SiteOrigin-North versus the WooCommerce PlugIn? Or, do I need the function.php page in my folder? OR????
