Why isn't the Shopify theme editor loading properly?

Hello,

I've been trying to update my site this morning and while I was making changes the Theme Editor stopped responding, actually stopped loading altogether. When I click to customize my site the new window opens, and the webpage loads but the toolbar on the left is greyed out and the green loading bar at the top stops moving not even a quarter of the way across the top.

I've tried researching solutions and have applied every solution that has been put out there to include: deleting the cache, changing internet apps, using private windows but it still will not fully load.

I have elements on my webpage that is live right now that I do not want on there and now I'm stuck with it there until this is fixed. What is going on and when will this be fixed?

I'm glad to know you have already gone through some troubleshooting steps to try to fix it.

If you're still encountering this issue, could you please go through further troubleshooting and follow the steps below?

  • Update your browser, if it needs updating
  • Use a different device, such as a laptop if you're using your phone
  • Reset your device
  • Try another internet source, such as mobile data if you're currently using Wi-Fi, or a different Wi-Fi
  • Use the Shopify Mobile App

If none of these fix the issue, we'll need to access your account and investigate. We’re not able to provide account-specific support via the Shopify Community at this time, we’d be happy to continue assisting you through live chat, email, or callback.
