My wishlist and variant options disappear every time I open my product page

Shopify Discussion

Topic summary

Issue: Variant options and wishlist briefly appear on the product page, then get hidden and become unusable.

Suspected cause: Elements likely exist in the HTML but are being hidden via CSS (e.g., display:none), potentially due to a CSS error like a missing closing bracket. Scripts from the theme or apps could also be involved.

Evidence: A product page link was shared showing the behavior. No code snippets or images were provided; the shared URL is central for reproducing the issue.

Theme context: Store is using the Debutify theme. It’s unknown if the issue is theme-specific.

Latest guidance: After an initial review, no straightforward fix was identified. Recommended steps:

  • Check for custom code edits in the theme.
  • Review apps related to add-to-cart/checkout that might manipulate DOM/CSS.
  • Test with a fresh installation of Debutify to isolate the issue.
  • Consider hiring a developer via Shopify Experts if needed.

Status: Unresolved/ongoing. Open questions: Whether other themes are affected; whether custom edits/apps are causing the issue; results of the fresh theme install test.

Every time I open my product page, the variant options and wishlist show up for a split second and then disappear and are unavailable to use after.

Hello,

Based on your description, it seems that these elements are present within your website’s HTML structure and are getting hidden at a later time, probably through CSS.

My wild guess is that there is a CSS code that display:none these elements, placed near the end of a .css file.

Sure, there are many possible cases that could cause this. One reason can be having an error in your CSS code, as simple as missing a closing bracket ‘}’, somewhere.

For further assistance, please share your website link, it would be relevant to me or to other community members that are looking to help.

Cheers!

Does the issue is happening on only a specific theme?

After a quick look, unfortunately I couldn’t find a straight-forward fix. You may consider hiring a web developer that can debug and have a deeper look into this inquiry.

If that is considered, and I’m not, Shopify Experts listing can be relevant in hiring talent.

Cheers!

I’m running debutify for my theme, other than that I have no other themes or knowledge of other themes, so I couldn’t tell you if it was only happening on this theme.

Have you had any custom code edits to your current theme? Is your store running any App that is related to the add-to-cart/checkout process?

If yes, then the issue might be present somewhere around these edits - please try to do a test using a fresh installation of this theme.
