Store Design

Topic summary

A Shopify merchant encountered a “Liquid error: Could not find asset snippets/snippet-breadcrumbs.liquid” message on their contact page after editing code. The error occurs when a Liquid template references a snippet file that doesn’t exist—often due to deletion or uninstalled apps.

Solution provided:

  • Locate the {% include 'snippet-breadcrumbs' %} or {% render 'snippet-name' %} code in the relevant template file
  • Either delete the line or comment it out using {% comment %}...{% endcomment %} tags
  • Check template files like page.liquid, theme.liquid, or section files depending on where the error appears

Common causes:

  • Deleted snippet files from uninstalled third-party apps (review apps, SEO tools, pre-order apps)
  • Missing files after theme customization
  • Apps leaving behind code references after uninstallation

Key troubleshooting tips:

  • Match the error message exactly to find the correct render/include statement
  • Check the specific template mentioned in the error (e.g., product-template.liquid, collection-template.liquid)
  • Use local development tools with search features to locate snippet references across multiple files

Hello,

This message “Liquid error: Could not find asset snippets/snippet-breadcrumbs.liquid” in my website’s contact page. I have been editing the codes for that page, and everything is working completely fine. The only problem is that that error is showing up on top of the page. How do I take that off?

Please help.

Thanks

It’s referring to an “include” that must be on your page.liquid in your templates folder, the problem is that the snippet doesn’t exist. Did you happen to delete one?

Anyway if you don’t have breadcrumbs and that’s not an issue then you can go into page.liquid and find:

{% include 'snippet-breadcrumbs' %}

And either delete it or comment it out:

{% comment %}
{% include 'snippet-breadcrumbs' %}
{% endcomment %}

Great! It worked! Thank you

Hey Ninthony, I found this thread looking for solving a similar issue. Your suggestion seemed promising, but my page.liquid doesn’t have these

{% include 'XXX' %}

Could these be somewhere else as well? Theme is Debut, if it makes a difference.

page.liquid is a template file that applies to all “pages” of your site. By pages I mean pages that are created when you go to Online Store > Pages > Add Page. If it’s happening on your homepage, that’s index.liquid template file. If it’s happening on a collection page, it’s collection.liquid. Product page, product.liquid, etc etc. Lots of the time when you open any of those files you’ll just see something like:

{% section 'collection-template' %}

//or

{% section 'product-template' %}

//or

{% section 'page-template' %}

Those are referring to files in your sections folder, collection-template.liquid, product-template.liquid, etc. So if it’s happening specifically on any of those pages, then check those section files for the include.

If it’s happening on ALL pages, it’s likely in theme.liquid. What’s the specific error message you’re getting, and on what portions of your site?

Thank you, your answer clarified a lot. It was a “cannot find snippet” error message in the homepage, but as we have ongoing campaigns I’ve re-added the Snippets to make sure no error was displayed. This will be multiple cases as I’m going thru cleaning up dead code from uninstalled apps.

I’ve went a bit further and setup a local environment with ThemeKit so that I can use Atom editor search features to find these Section snippets more readily.

Hi I had two review apps and tried to remove one but the star icons were still showing so I went to edit the code to try to remove it. But everything got messed up, its showing error messages everywhere.

On the home page the collection section the error code is: Liquid error (product-grid-item line 116): could not find assets snippets/review-badge.liquid

On the product page: Liquid error (product-template line 116): could not find assets snippets/review-badge.liquid

footer: Liquid error: Could not find asset snippets/review-widget.liquid

I planned to launch the store today for black friday but i cant with the errors.

Hello! I have a similar problem, but my error reads? Liquid error: Could not find asset snippets/storepickup.liquid

I know zero about code, but when I canceled a third-party app today, it said I had to delete a snippet (not this one). I was reluctant, but I did it anyway. I wish I had made a copy first. :(. Although, I could swear it was working after I deleted the file they instructed. Do you happen to have any suggestions for me? If so, help would be greatly appreciated. Store pickup is a huge part of my business.

Thank you!

Can you help me remove this? Liquid error (sections/product-template.liquid line 192): Could not find asset snippets/paywhirl-plan-selector.liquid

10

This is what I did but its still there? {% comment %}{% render ‘paywhirl-main’ %}{% endcomment %}

11

You’ll be looking for a different render, it should match the error:

{% comment %}
{% render 'paywhirl-plan-selector' %}
{% endcomment %}

Where that is? I have no idea.

I’m trying to figure out two issues- I’m having.

I tried to get rid of the compare and wishlist as our customers don’t use this, now it shows the below error message next to each “add to cart” box on our products

Liquid error: Could not find asset snippets/wishlist-item.liquid

How can I remove that?

Next- On the top menu link- I now have the below message showing up on my main home page, which is not clickable, how can I get rid of that?
