I can't dublicate theme?

Topic summary

A user is experiencing a layout issue when duplicating their Shopify theme. Specifically, a circular progress bar or element changes position and spacing after theme duplication, despite appearing correctly in the original theme.

Problem Details:

  • The issue occurs on a collection page (Deluxe Moonstone Collection)
  • Visual comparison shows the element shifts when the theme is duplicated
  • Screenshots demonstrate the before/after positioning difference

Suggested Diagnosis:
A community member suggests the issue may stem from:

  • Theme styling apps or landing page builders that apply custom CSS only to specific assigned themes
  • These customizations may not transfer during duplication

Current Status:
The problem remains unresolved. The responder recommends debugging and comparing both theme versions to identify the root cause, or seeking professional theme repair services if needed.

Someone would have to debug it and compare the themes to see the source of the issue.

One possibility is if using a theme styling app or landing page app etc that it is only apply custom styles to an assigned theme.
