Why is WooCommerce function not overriding the default function in child theme

I have a child theme that I am trying to override a WooCommerce function.

WooCommerce file in plugin location: woocommerce/includes/wc-template-hooks.php. I created a new file in the same hierarchy in my child theme and it’s located here: my-child-theme/woocommerce/includes/wc-template-hooks.php

My edited section is I commented out the product title in child theme:

/**
 * Product Summary Box.
 *
 * @see woocommerce_template_single_title()
 * @see woocommerce_template_single_rating()
 * @see woocommerce_template_single_price()
 * @see woocommerce_template_single_excerpt()
 * @see woocommerce_template_single_meta()
 * @see woocommerce_template_single_sharing()
 */
//add_action( 'woocommerce_single_product_summary', 'woocommerce_template_single_title', 5 ); //commented
add_action( 'woocommerce_single_product_summary', 'woocommerce_template_single_rating', 10 );
add_action( 'woocommerce_single_product_summary', 'woocommerce_template_single_price', 10 );
add_action( 'woocommerce_single_product_summary', 'woocommerce_template_single_excerpt', 20 );
add_action( 'woocommerce_single_product_summary', 'woocommerce_template_single_meta', 40 );
add_action( 'woocommerce_single_product_summary', 'woocommerce_template_single_sharing', 50 );

However, when I goto my product page, I still see the title.

Any idea what I am doing wrong?

    You need to remove action woocommerce_single_product_summary to this work properly.

    add_action( 'woocommerce_before_single_product', 'remove_woocommerce_single_product_summary', 10 );
function remove_woocommerce_single_product_summary() {
    remove_action( 'woocommerce_single_product_summary', 'woocommerce_template_single_title', 5 );
}

    Just add this to your functions.php and will do the magic.

    You also can try to add remove_action() out of the add_action(). Just like this…

    remove_action( 'woocommerce_single_product_summary', 'woocommerce_template_single_title', 15 );

    …directly to functions.php

    Play with it.

    TIPS & TRICKS

    If you want to change your HTML in the title or do anything you want, here is example:

    add_action( 'woocommerce_before_single_product', 'remove_woocommerce_single_product_summary', 10 );
function remove_woocommerce_single_product_summary() {

    // First, we remove it
    remove_action( 'woocommerce_single_product_summary', 'woocommerce_template_single_title', 5 );
    
    // Second, we add new title
    add_action( 'woocommerce_single_product_summary', 'woocommerce_my_new_title', 1 );
    
}
function woocommerce_my_new_title(){
    echo '<h1 class="some-my-custom-classes">' . the_title() . '</h1>';
}

    If your active theme does not support Woocommerce and you want to add
    a Woocommerce template to your active theme, you must register
    WooCommerce, or give Woocommerce features.

    Check out these links for more details:

    https://github.com/woocommerce/woocommerce/wiki/Declaring-WooCommerce-support-in-themes

    https://docs.woocommerce.com/document/template-structure/

    One important thing:

    If you change the template folder within the Woocommerce plugin, there is a good chance that you will lose your settings after the plugin update. That is why it is better to work in an active theme.
