How to add more than 25 dynamic sections on home page

Store Design

Topic summary

Main issue: A store owner needs more than Shopify’s apparent limit of 25 dynamic sections on the homepage.

What was tried: A suggestion to change a max-limit value in a settings.json file. The owner only found settings_data.json and settings_schema.json and couldn’t find any “25” limit to edit.

Current understanding: The 25-section cap is likely a Shopify/theme limit that can’t be increased via theme code. Contacting Shopify Support was advised to confirm.

Workaround proposed: Use a page builder app (e.g., PageFly). In Online Store 2.0 themes, you can build a long page with many elements and embed/display it on the homepage so it counts as a single dynamic section.

Trade-offs: Very long pages may slow load speed and reduce customer satisfaction. Speed-optimization guidance was provided.

Decisions/next steps: The owner plans to try a page builder if no other solution exists. App support offered live chat for direct help. No definitive native (code-only) solution emerged; the thread remains effectively unresolved beyond the workaround.

@OUDAWGG - please open settings.json file, c\heck if you have an option to add more sections by c\hanging max limit number from 25 to t\he one you want

I looked everywhere but I can’t find setting.json file, there is a settings_data.json file and a settings_schema.json file but I can’t find anywhere says 25. Where else should I look?

@OUDAWGG - should be somewhere in one of them

I looked twice but still find nothing

@OUDAWGG - oh I think then your theme limit or shopify limit for home page sections is 25, just ask once to shopify support, I think it can not go beyond 25

7

I can’t edit code? What code do I need if I am able to edit it?

@OUDAWGG - unfortunately no code, i recommend to use some king of page builder app like pagefly as default shopify coding will not help

Hi @OUDAWGG ,

This is PageFly - Free Landing Page Builder.
Have you found the solution for the page?

Thank you @suyash1 for mentioning us. He’s true. If you are using theme O.S. 2.0, you can create a page on PageFly which many sections as you want. Then, when you display it on your homepage, it’s just counted as 1 dynamic section on your theme. There is only one disadvantage that a long page might make your page speed so slow and decrease customers’ satisfaction with your store when they go in. You can consider some tips to improve the speed page about How To Optimize Page Speed For Your Shopify Store: Technical Advice From CTOs.

If you’re using PageFly, it’s better if you can chat with us via Live chat 24/7 so that we can discuss and check directly. If you want more suggestions or store feedback, please provide more information about your store. We’re here willing to help.
Have a nice day! Cheers!
