Topic summary

A user running Prestige theme version 5.6.2 wanted to add the sliding announcement bar feature from the latest theme version without performing a full theme update (which would require extensive recustomization).

Initial Problem:

  • Simply copying the announcement.liquid file from the new version to the old version did not work
  • The user provided store credentials and a screenshot showing the desired sliding announcement bar effect

Resolution:

  • The user successfully resolved the issue independently through their own investigation
  • No specific technical solution or code changes were shared in the thread

The discussion is now closed with the problem solved, though the exact implementation method remains undocumented.

I’m currently using an older version of the Prestige theme (version 5.6.2), which is live on my website. I also have the latest version of the theme and really like its announcement bar because it’s dynamic and slides.

Is there a way to add the same sliding effect and style to my old version? I can’t update the entire theme since that would require extensive customization, which is too much work. I tried copying the announcement.liquid code from the new version to my old one, but it didn’t work.

Can anyone help me with this please ?
