Getting rid of "My Store" in footer

Topic summary

A user encountered an issue where “My Store” appeared in their Shopify footer instead of their actual store name. They attempted to fix this by editing the footer.liquid file, specifically the code {{ shop.name | link_to: routes.root_url }}, but their changes caused the store name to disappear entirely.

Resolution:

  • Another user provided the solution: modify the store name directly in the Shopify store settings rather than editing the theme code.
  • The original poster confirmed this approach worked successfully.

This demonstrates that the store name displayed in the footer is pulled from the admin settings, not hardcoded in the theme files.

Hi There,

I would like to change the “My Store”, to my actual store name. I have tried editing the code in footer.liquid. Specifically, {{ shop.name| link_to: routes.root_url -}} in the copyright content line.

When I change footer.liquid to my preferred name My Store disappears and nothing shows up. I’d appreciate if you let me know how can I fix this issue.

Store URL is https://4541f8-c0.myshopify.com/.
