Topic summary

  • Concern about deleting the original Spotlight theme after switching to the Minimog theme, and whether any store content (e.g., products or customized content) would be lost.
  • Context: Store was built on Spotlight, then a Fiverr contractor revamped the site (products unchanged). Both themes are currently present, which complicates editing.
  • Issues encountered: Text copied from Spotlight shows up pink in Minimog; some changes do not save. The user has already copied needed text and images elsewhere as a precaution.
  • Request: Clarification on what happens when the old theme is deleted and best practices to avoid losing anything important (e.g., steps to safely remove Spotlight without affecting the store).
  • Status: No answer or resolution yet; guidance pending.

If I delete my original theme ( Spotlight) will I lose the things that I did when I was using it such as products? I have taken all of the text and pics that I can and copied it elsewhere to use in the new theme., minimog.

I currently have both themes which makes things difficult. I started my store in the Spotlight theme. Then, I asked for help from a fiverr person to finish up the store for opening. He changed the whole site except the products. It is fine, but there were a few things I wanted to add back in. Now, when I use the text that I used in Spotlight, it comes out pink. Some things won’t save. So, I got everything out that I wanted, but I am afraid to completely close out Spotlight for fear of losing something important. Does anyone know what will happen and how to avoid it? Thank you in advance for anyone giving this some thought and even perhaps an answer!
