Hi,
in my old theme I added a “custom html section” for the homepage.
Now I am working with impulse theme and forgot how I added this section in my template.
Can someone help me with that please?
Thank you very much!
Tim
Topic summary
Goal: add a “Custom HTML” area in the Impulse theme (for inserting a reviews script), both on the homepage and in the footer.
What happened:
- The OP recreated a Custom HTML section on the homepage by reusing code from an older theme (resolved for homepage). They offered to share the code.
- Adding a Custom HTML block to the footer failed. A schema snippet was added to footer.liquid, but the script didn’t render. The posted schema looked incomplete/corrupted. A suggestion to switch setting type from html to textarea did not help.
- Another user with the same need tried a tutorial but got: “New schema is incompatible with the current setting value. Invalid type value for block… Type must be defined in a schema,” indicating saved settings reference a block type not defined in the current schema.
Context/terms:
- Shopify sections/blocks and schema: JSON in Liquid that defines settings and block types. Blocks must be declared in the section schema and rendered in the template to appear.
Status:
- Partially resolved (homepage). Footer implementation remains unresolved; likely requires proper block type definition, complete schema, and rendering code, or clearing old settings causing schema mismatch. Others requested the working code. Discussion open.
Artifacts:
- Screenshots and code snippets are central to the issue.
@dmwwebartisan
I want a section named “custom html” There I can put in custom code.
I need to insert a skript from “reviews on my website”
I got it 
Found the code in my old section folder.
If somebody wants the code, contact me.
Now I have my html section again:
@KetanKumar
I put in this script in “footer html” section but it doesnt show up in my footer:
I added this code in my footer.liquid to get this “custom footer html” section:
{
"type": "html",
"name": "HTML",
"settings": [
{
"type": "html",
"id": "footer_html",
"label": "Footer HTML"
}
]
},
I think something is missing.
Footer.liquid

if section.settings.show_currency_selector and shop.enabled_currencies.size > 1
assign currency_selector = true

if section.settings.show_locale_selector and shop.enabled_locales.size > 1
assign locale_selector = true
endif
if currency_selector or locale_selector
assign show_selectors = true
endif
