This is the first shopify theme i’ve developed and i’m having some issues. I used the dev environment (theme serve) on the live store where i had copied the original theme and connected to github so i could made changes to the new theme while using the live site content.
Until now that was fine, but i created a new store to finish the work on and loaded in my new theme. The problem is now i have done that the new theme is behaving really oddly.
For example, it doesn’t seem to load the home page template i edited from Customise when i serve the dev theme, but if i load up the store preview it does.
Baring in mind it’s the same theme as the original store is using just with css changes, an example of what i mean is in these screenshots:
This one is the current live site using the original theme
This is my new store, using the customised version of the theme - which again was only css changes, you can see the Template part is missing!
When i edit say the slider at the top of the home page on the new store, then serve the dev theme the slider doesn’t even get picked up, but nothing has changed in that respect from the origianl to the new theme and it works fine if i run “shopify theme dev” on the original site url.
Also, when i run “shopify theme dev -s new-url” it get a load of errors in the console such as these:
“config/settings_data.json: Invalid value for type in block ‘1561732006606’. Type must be defined in schema.
config/settings_data.json: Invalid value for type in block ‘1561732041755’. Type must be defined in schema.
config/settings_data.json: Invalid value for type in block ‘1561731589058’. Type must be defined in schema.”
But, if i serve it on the original site url this doesn’t happen, it seems for some reason the new store doesn’t like the config and i don’t know what is different.
