When I download a theme and then upload it into Shopify, the color theme settings are missing. The uploaded theme contains the original Dawn color theme settings and not the new color theme settings that I customized. I checked the settings_data.json and the right color settings were there. I then checked the settings_schema.json and they were the original colors, not the new colors.
My question is… shouldn’t the settings_schema.json file update when theme settings are changed? Or is this something that has to be manually done everytime I download/upload a theme?
Hello @Smiley1311
You need to change the colour settings from the theme settings option in the customise. Please follow the below steps
-
From your Shopify admin, go to Online Store > Themes.
-
Find the theme that you want to edit, and then click Customise.
-
Click Theme Settings at the bottom of your sidebar.
-
Click Colors.
-
To change a color in your theme, click the color and use the color picker or enter the value of the new color in the text field.
-
Click Save.

When the theme settings are changed and you hit the save button the changes are applied to the theme. Maybe you forgot to click the save button. Also, yes, whenever you download and upload the theme you have to do the changes each and every time manually. If you have a duplicate theme and you did changes to that theme. In this case, you don’t need to do manual changes every time when you make that duplicate theme to the live theme.
Let me know how it goes.
