I am getting the following warning/error on the WooCommerce dashboard:

**Your theme (Shapely) contains outdated copies of some WooCommerce template files.** These files may need updating to ensure they are compatible with the current version of WooCommerce. Suggestions to fix this:

1. Update your theme to the latest version. If no update is available contact your theme author asking about compatibility with the current WooCommerce version.

I assume the version 1.2.15 is up to date?  
How do I resolve this please?

I have tried to follow these instructions but am confused at it appears to say to backup file, then copy to a new location and edit, which seems to be editing same version and doesn’t say what to edit!?

Any clarification would be appreciated.
