How can I make the top navigation in the Effortless theme clickable?

Topic summary

Issue: In the Effortless theme, the top-level “Shop” item in the main navigation wasn’t clickable; Dawn-specific fixes didn’t apply.

Access: Initial storefront password was wrong, then corrected so help could proceed.

Clarification: Helper asked what URL “Shop” should lead to.

Solution implemented:

  • A custom JavaScript snippet was provided.
  • Instructions: paste it in theme.liquid (the main layout file) just above the tag.
  • Replace the placeholder “/” with the desired landing page URL.
  • A screenshot illustrated the exact placement.

Outcome: The change worked as intended; the “Shop” top navigation is now clickable.

Status: Resolved; no outstanding issues or disagreements. Recommendation to mark the answer as the solution.

Hello all!

I’m hoping you can help me. I’m using the theme effortless. Still working on it but the link in the header shop is giving me a bit of a problem. It’s working but I need the top navigation (shop itself) to be clickable. So far all the solutions I’ve encountered are for the Dawn theme. They are not compatible with my theme. Please take a look and see if some solution becomes apparent and let me know. Thanks in advance!
