Ok so I added new theme. Now, I decided to add NEW section. This section includes text on the left side, and image on the right (brand information section)

Now, I add it there. Oh and it also put this into ALL my pages!! So now I have this crappy widget across ALL my Help Center pages including -

 

Shipping & Delivery,
Returns & Exchanges
Help Center

Now, if I remove that section, GUESS WHAT, it also remove everything from that pages!! How funny is this platform!

Hey @sonify199 

 

Can you share the url of the page where you only want the section to appear and a screenshot of that section as well?

 

Best Regards,

Hi @sonify199 

 

Shopify is not so bad.

 

As I mentioned in the previous topic and other people in another topic you created today,  you are using the same, default page template for all your pages. So naturally if you add a new section to one page, it will be saved to the template and automatically show on all pages. So to make each page unique, and add different sections to different pages you have to create separate page templates for each page.

For example page.shipping.json, page.returns.json and page, help-center.json. Then in admin > pages change the selected template for each of your pages to match the templates. Then you can customize everything.

Sorry but it's stupid. When I'm making an empty page, I expect it would be empty by default, default page template should be blank page...

True it should be blank, but your default template is not a blank page so that why there is issues.

You are confusing themes with pages. If you want something added to the theme template but only displayed for one page you need to:

 

A) Create a new version of the template and assign it to your page 

-OR-

B) Use liquid so that it only displays for the specified url handle

-OR- 

C) Build it into the content of the page. This is done through the page editor, not the Shopify theme builder.
