I feel cheated; I implemented and purchased the “Impulse” theme, and it has issues with the code and canonical tags. The collections and products have duplicate content issues and are not being indexed properly.
Topic summary
Main issue: A customer who purchased and implemented the Impulse theme reports code and canonical tag problems, leading to duplicate content across collections and products and poor indexing in search engines.
Context: Canonical tags signal the preferred URL for a page to search engines; if misconfigured, they can cause duplicate content and indexing issues.
Latest update: A support representative asked whether a fresh copy of the theme has been downloaded to start clean and suggested doing so to rule out setup issues.
Suggested actions:
- Download a fresh copy of the purchased theme to reset and test.
- Review the linked guide on adding product tags (note: this focuses on product tags, not canonical tags).
- Contact Shopify support directly for deeper investigation.
Outcome: No fix confirmed; the thread remains unresolved with further troubleshooting pending.
Open questions: What specifically in the Impulse theme causes the canonical tag misconfiguration, and is there an available update or patch to address it?
