Hello @Amber18 ,

Create the same file again under the Snippets ( buy-buttons.liquid )
And after that if you have a backup theme get the code from there of this file and paste in the newly created file.

Thanks

Hello @Amber18

The error message indicates that there’s an issue with the “buy-buttons.liquid” asset snippet, which is missing or not properly linked in your theme.

To resolve this issue, you can try the following steps:

  1. Check for the “buy-buttons.liquid” file: Log in to your Shopify admin panel and navigate to the “Themes” section. From there, click on “Actions” and then select “Edit code.” Look for the “snippets” folder in the left sidebar, and see if the “buy-buttons.liquid” file exists. If it’s missing, you may need to recreate it or restore it from a backup if you have one.

  2. Reinstall the theme: If you have recently made changes to your theme or installed a new one, the error might be due to a theme installation issue. In that case, you can try reinstalling the theme to see if it resolves the problem.

  3. Check for code errors: If you’ve modified the theme code recently, double-check the code around line 313 in the “main-product” section. Make sure there are no syntax errors, missing brackets, or incorrect references that could be causing the problem.

  4. Restore from backup: If you have a backup of your theme before the error occurred, you can consider restoring your theme to that previous version to eliminate any recent changes that might be causing the problem.

  5. Clear cache and cookies: Sometimes, cached data or cookies in your browser can cause display issues. Try clearing your browser’s cache and cookies and then refresh the page to see if the error persists.

  6. Reach out to Shopify support or theme developer: If the issue persists and you are unable to resolve it, consider reaching out to Shopify’s support team or the theme developer for further assistance. They will have access to specific details about your store and theme, which might help them diagnose and fix the problem more effectively.
