Please see below screen shots of 1 of my store products, showing admin screen and online screen.  I believe there is possibly some coding that is required.  However, cannot seem to find the correct areas.?  Pls see screenshots below.

Hey @Mylou,

 

We'd love to help you out! Do you mind sharing your website URL so we can take a closer look? Otherwise, do you mind posting the screenshots again as they are not visible.

 

Look forward to hearing from you!

Thank you for the screenshots Mylou! It looks like you may have removed the product description section in your theme editor. If you head over to Online Store > Themes and edit the product page in there, are you seeing the product description? If not, you will want to add the section back in using the editor on the left hand side. I'll include a screenshot showing you what I mean:

Hello Shay, My product information bar is not showing in my online theme editor at all (not like in your screenshot). Therefore there is no option to add the 'product description ' to it?

Got it, and thanks for following up. In that case I am going to recommend you connect with our authenticated support team for further assistance in this matter. A product description should be included in all themes being used on the store, at least if the theme came from the Shopify Theme Store. 

 

There is a chance that custom coding or third party apps that affect the product page could have removed this section though. I can't be sure without access to your theme file, which is why I recommend chatting with live support. To access our authenticated support, please follow this link: Shopify Help Center. Open the AI chat window and type "contact support" to get started.
