Will Wordpress updates overwrite code I customised? - wordpress

I use a Wordpress theme that I have customised a lot.
If I update Wordpress or the theme that I'm using, will it overwrite the code I customised in the theme or Wordpress system?
Or can I just update everything.
Same with Wordpress plug-ins: I've written some extra code in the Woocommerce's cart script. If I update WooCommerce, will it be lost or overwritten?

Yes if you update the plugins and themes, those will be overwritten and you will lose the changes you made.

I have already latest version of wordpress 4.9.4
You need to change original theme woocommerce folder in your current theme folder than recheck your customized code and than check those files in woocommerce template folder, and also check your code and compare with woocommerce template.
I don't know how much you customize in how many files you customize, so i can not say properly that what code you should change.

How to add to a WordPress theme a page but a php file that is loaded separately

This seems to be an answer,
How to add a php file to wordpress theme addition of standard files?
Yet the template option is missing in my WordPress 3.5.1
How to do the same thing now with this currently the latest version of WordPress.
Or could it not be related to the WordPress version and actually has to do with a default setting of the theme not allowing for template choosing? Where could I look up for that in the theme configuration.
WordPress documentation didn't remove the Templates as part of the page attributes
http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/page-attributes/
So it could be related to the theme's options of not allowing for template choosing, would need to override that setting then maybe but don't know it's location now.
This is nothing to do with Wordpress 3.5.1, the problem must be in your theme. Your current theme probably just doesn't have any additional templates you can use; try some others (like the default theme that came with your Wordpress installation, which is probably TwentyTwelve if you're running 3.5.1) and seeing if the template menu appears.
Those templates are for (Wordpress terminology) pages, not posts. Posts do not have the "Page attributes" box, only pages.
This plugin appears to expand that functionality to posts.

How to remove WooCommerce plugin dependency from Wootique theme?

How to remove WooCommerce plugin dependency from Wootique theme? When I activate Wootique theme and click on "visit site" in wordpress it shows a message "WooCommerce must be installed".
actually, You can't!
you must have to install "WooCommerce plugin", if you are using this Theme,
because the theme's source code is referring to WooCommerce plugin's functionality for displaying category wise products.
see here for details
hope this will help you
There should be a php if ( function_exists('woo-something') call in the functions.php file. Look into it, that's how wordpress themes check for installed products.
You may resolve it easily or may have to do some serious editing, I can't say since I don't have the theme.
