Hello @Rasiote
You’re editing an “Image with text” section in your Shopify theme editor and changing the “Container color scheme” (in your case, to Scheme 2), but the change isn’t reflected on the live site even after saving.
Things to Check and Fix:
- Preview vs. Live Theme
Make sure you’re editing the published theme:
. In the Shopify admin, go to Online Store > Themes.
. Ensure the theme you’re customizing is the one currently published.
. If you’re editing a draft theme, changes won’t appear on your live site until you publish it.
- Color Scheme Configuration
Even if you’ve set the section to use Scheme 2, that scheme needs to be defined:
. In the theme editor, go to Theme Settings > Colors.
. Check what colors are actually assigned to Scheme 2.
. If they’re the same as Scheme 1 or not visibly different, you won’t see a change.
. Update the background or text colors for Scheme 2 so it’s noticeably different (e.g., make the background green or pink temporarily to test).
- Theme Caching
Sometimes, browsers cache old styles:
. Try clearing your browser cache.
. Or use incognito/private mode to view your live site.
- Custom Code or Apps
If your theme or apps have custom CSS, it may override your color scheme:
. Check if there’s any custom code in theme.liquid, base.css, or similar files.
. If needed, inspect the element in browser DevTools (right-click > Inspect) to see what styles are being applied and from where.
- Section-Specific Settings
Make sure you’re applying the scheme to the correct section. If there are multiple “Image with text” sections, ensure you’re editing the one visible on the live site.
Suggested Test
Try this simple test:
. Change Scheme 2’s background color to something bold like red.
. Assign it to the section again.
. Save, then check your live site in private/incognito mode.
. If it still doesn’t reflect, you’re likely editing a draft theme or there’s a caching/override issue.
Thank you
