Hey! This has now been escalated, thank you for getting back to me. It will not be possible to add a share to Instagram button as Instagram does not allow for product/link sharing in the same way as Facebook, Twitter, and Pinterest. 

 

All the Best,

Bo

Heya, @GraceWilmshurst 

 

I would have to recommend that we escalate to this once more to the theme's team. I checked in with them regarding this and they have stated that they may be able to resolve this but cannot guarantee it. I will be reaching out via email once more via email and will need for you to respond to said email just like last time. 

 

I would recommend, in the future, that if you have any theme/coding questions that you start a new topic in the Design Board as others will be able to more easily find the solution should they have the same issue. You will also get more eyes on your query so you should get help more quickly. I am not in the office all the time so these requests may not be seen for days at a time on this thread. 

 

All the Best,

Bo

Hey there, @GraceWilmshurst 

 

Bo here from Shopify Suppor! 

 

Thank you for reaching out regarding this. This can be done in two parts, the first part requires a little coding and the second is just then customizing your theme. 

 

Step One: Edit Your Theme Code:

1. Go to Online Store > Current Theme > Actions > Edit Code.

2. Open the slider.liquid file and find  <img

3. Add the following right above it: 

<style>
  .slide__link {
    width: 100%;  
    height: 100%;  
    position: absolute;  
    z-index: 2;
  }
</style>
<a class="slide__link" href="{{ block.settings.button_link }}"></a>
​

4. Click Save. 

 

Step 2: Add your link to your slideshow:

Once you have finished editing your code you will be ready to add your link to your slideshow. To do so, go to Online Store > Themes > Customize > Slideshow and click on an image block. You will then be able to add the link under ‘Button link’.

 

Click Save.

 

Let me know how this goes and if there is anything else I can assist you with, I'm happy to help!

 

All the Best,

Bo

Hey there, @GraceWilmshurst !

 

This level of customization would go beyond what I can advise myself, we would need to get this escalated to our themes team so that they can do it from their end. I will be reaching out to you via email to get you authenticated as the owner of the account and then escalate this to our themes team to change on your behalf. Please respond to my email promptly so that I can escalate this for you. These escalations generally take 3-4 business days. 

 

All the Best,

Bo

THANK YOU SO MUCH IT LOOKS GREAT!!

Hey, Grace! So glad to hear that you are happy with the results. Your paintings look great by the way. If you're making basic customizations, then you can get support from your theme's developer, as you use a Shopify supported theme we would be the developers. If you're making extensive changes to your theme, then see our list of additional resources for theme support.

To learn about customizations that Shopify doesn't support, see our design policy.

 

All the Best,

Bo

Thanks Bo...

I’m struggling with shipping though 🤪.

looking like I have to use a completely separate courier service 😩 just wanted it to be easy... maybe I’m over complicating!

Hey again! 

 

So what I would recommend is looking for an integrated app such as the Royal Mail or the DPD app. This will allow you to display live rates for your customers and then buy shipping labels from your selected service. If you need any help setting these up please contact the app developers directly as per this guide. 

 

If you are preparing to launch your store soon I would recommend checking out our launch guide here. I would also recommend checking out Buyer Trust 101 to make sure your store is 100% before launching it. 

 

All the Best,

Bo
