Troubleshooting & support

Quick fixes for the most common setup issues.

If something looks wrong, it's usually one of these.

"My homepage looks nothing like the demo"

  • You may be using default content/settings
  • Import your starter layout (if your theme provides one)
  • Confirm you're editing the correct theme (unpublished vs published)

"My menu is missing"

  • Set the menu in Header settings in the theme editor
  • Confirm the menu exists in Online Store → Navigation

"Product images look cropped"

  • Check image aspect ratio vs section/card ratio
  • Keep ratios consistent within a grid

"Variant swatches aren't showing"

  • Ensure option names are consistent (e.g. "Colour")
  • Confirm swatches are enabled in theme settings
  • Validate variant values are clean (no duplicates like "Navy " vs "Navy")

"An app widget disappeared"

  • Re-add it as an app block in the theme editor
  • Some apps require enabling in both product template and cart template

"The site feels slow"

  • Reduce heavy media above the fold
  • Compress images
  • Limit the number of complex sections on the homepage

Getting help

When contacting support, include:

  • Store URL
  • Theme name + version (if available)
  • A short screen recording of the issue
  • The exact page/template affected
  • Steps to reproduce
If the issue appeared after a change, duplicate the theme and test changes one-by-one to isolate the cause.
