WooCommerce custom theme by category

I'm trying to create specific Woo templates for product categories in WooCommerce.

I've tried to follow the instructions here but they didn't work for me. Woocommerce single product - template by categories

I also found this but couldn't get it to work. http://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-woocommerce-excelling-ecommerce-a-custom-single-product-template

In my theme I have a woocommerce folder with the specific template files that I want to override.

theme/woocommerce/single-product.php
theme/woocommerce/content-single-product.php
theme/woocommerce/content-single-product-custom-1.php

here is part of single-product.php

<?php if (is_product_category( 'custom-1')) {
    wc_get_template_part( 'content', 'single-product-custom-1' );
    }
    elseif (is_product_category( 'promise') {
    wc_get_template_part( 'content', 'single-product-custom-2' );
    }
    else{
    wc_get_template_part( 'content', 'single-product' );
    } 
?>

I have the custom-1 category setup in woo on the specific product I want to target.

When I edit content-single-product-custom-1.php nothing changes. However when I make changes to content-single-product.php they are show up.

Why am I not able to target the my product categories?

Thanks in advance!

Add this to your functions.php file toinclude the product_cat_CATEGORYNAME term in your products body class. 

function woo_custom_taxonomy_in_body_class( $classes ){
if( is_singular( 'product' ) )
{
    $custom_terms = get_the_terms(0, 'product_cat');
    if ($custom_terms) {
        foreach ($custom_terms as $custom_term) {
            $classes[] = 'product_cat_' . $custom_term->slug;
        }
    }
}
return $classes;
}

add_filter( 'body_class', 'woo_custom_taxonomy_in_body_class' );

The product_cat term can now be referenced

The problem lies in the fact that is_product_category() behaves the same as is_category() or is_tax() Wordpress functions, which means that it checks if a category archive page ( in this case a custom taxonomy archive page ) is being displayed. And you are in single post page, you can use functions like has_term() ( to check if the current post has any of the given terms ) or get_the_terms() ( to retrieve the terms of the taxonomy that are attached to the post ), in WooCommeerce the taxonomy is 'product_cat'.

<?php 
    if ( has_term( 'custom-1', 'product_cat' ) ) {
        wc_get_template_part( 'content', 'single-product-custom-1' );
    } elseif ( has_term( 'promise', 'product_cat' ) ) {
        wc_get_template_part( 'content', 'single-product-custom-2' );
    } else {
        wc_get_template_part( 'content', 'single-product' );
    } 
?>
