Highlighted in blue on both pages, you can see there is an add section on the home page but in the community page for example there isnt anything. This is using the debut theme which is free. Does paying for a theme fix this or is there a way i can get this on all pages in the website design to allow for easy adjustability.

Yes you can do this, no paying for a theme won't change this.  The index page has functionality to add any section to the page.  If you wish to do this on other pages you need to do it manually in code by adding something like:

{% section 'section-name' %}

To the relevant template/file. Once you've done that it will show up in the sidebar so you can modify the settings.

So there is no possible way to get around it without manually coding ?? Just want to make it easy and simple to use but this seems to be making it very confusing. Where as Wix allows it to be much simpler.

Not right now no, this is currently being worked on by Shopify though (called Sections Everywhere), so it will be a feature in the future.

Hi @dannbryant

This is not possible, you cannot add sections for subpages.

You can just call sections with {% section 'section-name' %} statement and by default it's always visible, can't change the order and everything through the Customize.

Or you can create a section that includes the sections to display and add it as blocks.

Hope it helps!
