You can then edit the child theme’s file instead, and you won’t lose these changes when updating. However, you should keep up with updates to your parent theme so you…
…y a template file, edit it, and the edited version in your theme will be loaded instead of the core version of the template. We do encourage you not to do this, as most changes can be made via hooks (filters and actions) instead, and this method is far more upgrade-safe than changing a template.

Modifying Restriction Messages There are several filters available to change the “content restricted” messages, so we can append some social login buttons after the message content. There are 4 major filters for messages that will be shown to non-members for restricted areas of the site. wc_memberships_content_restricted_message — filters the general “content restricted” message wc_memberships_product_viewing_restricted_message —…
…entation could work, and eventually when WooCommerce migrates to a custom data structure (probably in v3.0) this query could likely be optimized a lot by then, but this is your fair warning at present that it could slow large sites down at checkout / registration.
