In OceanWP, I want to alter my shop page by a Beaver Builder template so I modified part of the index.php file as follows:

<?php

// BLOG PAGE
if ( is_home() ) {

    /* Beaver Builder generated content for "Posts archive template" */
    echo do_shortcode( '[fl_builder_insert_layout slug="posts-archive-template"]' );

// SHOP PAGE
} elseif ( is_shop() ) {

    /* Beaver Builder generated content for "Shop archive template" */
    echo do_shortcode( '[fl_builder_insert_layout slug="products-archive-template"]' );

// JOBS PAGE
} elseif ( is_post_type_archive( 'jobs' ) ) {

    /* Beaver Builder generated content for "Jobs archive template" */
    echo do_shortcode( '[fl_builder_insert_layout slug="jobs-archive-template"]' );

// OTHER POST PAGES
} else {

    // Loop through posts
    while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>

        // Some code

    <?php endwhile; 

}
?>

Blog page & jobs page do display the Beaver Builder template, however for the shop page, I don't manage to alter the lay-out. What am I doing wrong here?

Solution was the following: I had to alter my archive-product.php template file as this one is more specific in the template hierarchy than the index.php one. The archive-product.php took the overhand, so changing my index.php did not have any effect on my shop archive page.

I copied the archive-product.php template file in my child theme & modified it as follows:

<?php
/**
 * The Template for displaying product archives, including the main shop page which is a post type archive
 *
 * This template can be overridden by copying it to yourtheme/woocommerce/archive-product.php.
 *
 * HOWEVER, on occasion WooCommerce will need to update template files and you
 * (the theme developer) will need to copy the new files to your theme to
 * maintain compatibility. We try to do this as little as possible, but it does
 * happen. When this occurs the version of the template file will be bumped and
 * the readme will list any important changes.
 *
 * @see https://docs.woocommerce/document/template-structure/
 * @package WooCommerce/Templates
 * @version 3.4.0
 */
